So why are you whinging about the hoop jumping as you call it? Those of us that are going have no problem with registering to attend as far as I can see on here.
150 would be a bloody good turn out I would suggest closer to 50

I'm interested. Is there any dumb decision by the club, any slap in the face to the fans or any appalling performance by the team where you won't trot out this mantra?

Because it's an entry barrier & evidence that the blinkered club outlook is still in place.

The reguirement to register means that only the true believers will show up.

& as you say there's precious few of them as it is.

I was going to comment but I can't help laughing at the volte face.

I never said it was not a mistake or an error made by the club all I said was its pointless harping on about something that happened in the past. Has it happened again? No That's what in the real world is called error management.
Contrary to you may think everyone makes errors and mistakes, companies do the same sports clubs also. If they learn from that mistake and stop it happening again then effective error management has taken place.
Excellent avoidance of the question by the way, so I will try again if you are not going why are you whining about it.
It is not a barrier it's a tool they have chosen to use.

I've given up even replying now! it's only a waste of time.

Don't you just live the Internet posting a message saying yr not going to post a message, quite funny.

The club are putting on an open day, they have asked people to register, am pretty sure if you have not registered the bouncers at the gate will still let you in, they are simply using a tool to try and guage numbers what's the problem with that.
I am not making any excuses for the data loss issue but it happened you can't make it unhappen you just but barriers in to try to stop it happening again, it's called error management.
Luckily I am off work, so yep I will go, unlikely that I will do the whole day, but am a London broncos fan so why wouldn't I go. Registering was not a challenge or a bind it was quite simple. I just find it slightly annoying that someone who is not going or even interested in going is making such a fuss over the process looks like actions of a troll

Yet you just have waster your time

Would have liked to have gone, but work intervenes..........

No! not when I am expressing my opinion.

I would love to go, but I am not going to drive 225 miles each way at a busy time of the year. Can't wait to see the jersey! tempted with the polo shirts, but I did ask on facebook about the sizes, as they say Kappa are small fitting, I hate tight clothing.

Jaybs, as I did, taff I think was commenting on your post saying you have given up replying as it's a waste of time. It obviously was not a waste of time as you took the the time to say it was a waste of time.
Not having a go just an observation

I understand Mickyb, the negative attitude of just a few is the reason I post little but visit daily

That's negative, you are in the few

I'm not visiting today because of you.

I haven't done a U turn (these events never interested me even when I had time for Broncos) but for a club with literally tens of fans to insist people register beforehand to attend an "open day'" is ludicrous.

They should have just issued a blanket all welcome statement.

They didn't insist the politely requested, they even said please. It's ludicrous in your opinion, it's sensible to plan for expected numbers in others opinion. Stop whinging your not going, let those of us that are going worry about it.
For someone who apparently was never interested in this type of event you are taking a great interest in this one, or are you just trolling
