Quote: concerned leyther "The biggest mistake and trap you are all falling into here is comparing any kind of normal day to day business with the operating of a sports club and in particular a semi professional RL team. Partnerships mean both parties need each other equally LSV need LC and visa versa and if the relationship is to be a successful one both parties will at times give ground and be flexible to each others needs unlike a conventional business relationship were the customer is always right mentality should always apply.'"
Maybe I am mistaken (I have been wrong before
) as I’ve always thought business is business, regardless of the type of industry, manufacturing, service, entertainment, etc. Never been able to get my head around why people think Sports clubs are different.
IMO LSV is like my transport agent, they provide a service to its customers, for which they receive payment.
Of course good customer supplier relationships need a bit of give and take, but LSV should know its customer(s), and have known that taking another booking on the Sunday of the next round of the CC was potentially going to cause major issues with one if not both of its major/regular customers.
Looks to me like they just didn’t care, unless of course LC and Swinton, had already agreed to it.
Just to be clear so far
my gripe is with LSV
