Quote: Morvan "Grubrats is that really the best way to run a business in a little run down town that relies on an ever dwindling loyal fan base? All that Jenky was asking for was a bit of an update, just a little info from the “band leader”, not too much to ask for really when people are hesitant to buy a season ticket for next season until they know what is actually happening. As seen on various threads there will always be a hardcore of supporters that will buy a ticket come what may but that’s not enough even if we only want achieve just a modicum of success. From a commercial perspective someone at the club should at least proffer some info to try to appease and inform the natives. At least they would know where they and things stand.
As an aside you suggest that if I don’t like the tune I should find the money to pay the piper myself. I’ve got enough money to fund 3 or 4 SL clubs but it really doesn’t appeal to me to waste and fritter my relatively hard earned wealth on anybody but my wife and I. I’m far too hedonistic.'"
" Is this the way to run a RL club ? " , IMO no , it isn't , but I won't criticise the person that has paid for that privelige , Derek has taken us into SL and a dropped pass from remaining there , that is good work , since then he's made a bit of a pigs ear of it , I'm sure he knows that much better than any of us on here , he is dealing with it in his own way , that is his perogative
You say you have the wealth to emulate him , but choose not to , that's fine , again your perogative , I would say then in your situation you might well behave in exactly the same way if you had chosen to do what he has done , you don't know that for sure , because you haven't done it
Only by doing something do you know for sure how you would react in that particular situation
There are ' doer's ' , there are ' watchers ' , and there are ' moaners '
Derek is a ' doer ' , most are ' watchers ' knowing they couldn't or won't but understand that the ' doer ' is the one ' doing ' and it is their call and then we have the ' moaners ' who neither can or would but think they know more than anybody about everything and believe they are ' owed ' answers to any question they ask , they aren't
