Its the small things as well that make the difference. Things like if you want your membership card you have to go to the shop in person with all your info and pick it up from there. Sorry but in most schemes they would have been sent out with the initial letter, not having them ready is a poor excuse. Make people feel a part of something rather than just being a cash cow. Maybe the progress report could take the form of a quartley newsletter, either electronically or paper to keep updated. Or expand the scheme to one like widnes' where they get exclusive news via text prior to it hitting the press and added incentives in the shop etc. Either way the scheme needs to be made a whole lot more attractive if its going to be a longterm success.

Late, but there now!

Heap thanks trb,better late than never. Still no mega draw news tho. Anyone any ideas how many 1873 members we have now?

I think it all needs a re-think, odds are too far against anyone winning on a weekly basis for me to be interested.

You'll be told its not about winning its about supporting the youth coming through but sadly you won't be told how the moneys being used.

FWIW most people i speak to have lost interest.

Why are the results not posted in the Ridings shop window? along with details of winners and how to join

All valid points, the club have a lot to do, and to be fair to the fans we have all put up with a second rate offer for a while now, it needs improving.
One thing that was always leveled at the old owner was the clubs lack of communication, one think that is evidently lacking in club 1873 is just that.
All the whistles and bells of the launch have fallen off.
4/10 must try a lot harder.

Thats a damn good idea Coco. Simple but effective

Yep i'm aware of that.

Thats really missing the point TRB, the damage is already done, you don't shout from the rooftops about the biggest meeting in the clubs history and recieve massive support on the night then not reveal how the money will benefit the next batch of players coming through. All fans want to know is how the money is spent, they want some feedback and to see the good its doing and how that will encourage others to join up.

I know it won't go down well but it needs saying, we all want the same thing but its been a let down imo.

Its not rocket science.

I agree with you - not enough info, but we can't move things any quicker than we are doing and the club will respond.

Good i'm sure they will and we can all move forward, i don't like whinging believe it or not

It's frustrating to watch the life slowly ebb out of this scheme - it could be really good, but it appears they want £2 a week from supporters for nothing - back to the bad old days of Trinity being a charity...

Personally i'm out after the next £3k draw - or in the unlikely event of someone winning this before then (it's hard enough to get three numbers let alone 4).

I'll spend the £100 a year on trinity a different way.

I'm still trying to figure out what fans want in the way of supporting your club, yes it would be great to hear where the monies are being directed but after all its only been going long one year. You get the chance of a return for help funding the lottery

And as for cancelling your SO and giving it to the club in some other way ie club shop it won't have the same effect as its directed solely at the academy set up which is the foundation of the club.

this ain't going to happen over night and I'm hoping that with all the effort will start to kick in within the next couple of years

As far as I can remember we have had only last weeks late in being put up on the website so I can forgive them once

We have been shouting for the club to do its own lottery for ages so we could help the club and now we are getting complaints, is it that bad that we couldn't spare the cost of a pint once a week
