Is Agent x111 Alacas? Just a thought. He seems to have so many negatives thoughts he must be a Cas fan!

"Stand by me as I stand by you, be brave and dare to dream".:



If you look on the casforum there's a poster on there called AlfTupper whose style and negativity is identical. We all thought he was a wakey fan, but I'd say they are one and the same person so don't know who they really follow. Coincidentally AlfTupper seems to have disappeared from the casforum since your current plight hit the forums.

I know Alf Tupper was small but are you trying to suggest he was a gnome or no longer posting.

I am sorry but I can only give you 6/10 icon_lol.gif

Quote: Agent XIII "I tried to contact the club pressed option one and got the reply that the other person has hung up. I try another option but no answer. When you consider that option one related to season ticket sales I was a little surprised. I did get through only by using the final option. I recognised the voice on the other end as the person who dictated the options on the telephone message.
I now read today that the shop at the ground will no longer be selling merchandise despite the fact that supporters will be calling in to pay for ST etc. Then the shop in the Ridings will shut on Sundays in November despite this being probably one of the busiest days. If they cannot staff the site then shut on a Wednesday or Monday but not on a Sunday.
I know many of you believe I have it in for this board but I ask if this had happened when Ted was in charge would you have all taken the same stance. I regret to say that your complete disregard for these problems only make matters worse because currently the board is free to do what it likes with little questioning of its actions.'"

Same old story agent XIII. Sounds typical Trinity. I tried to buy a season ticket in a fit of sympathy a few weeks back only to find the website, having placed an appeal for us to buy them, had it's site not functioning properly, so it was impossible to buy one. It bought me to my senses.

They don't make it easy. Back in September I signed up for a Platinum membership, paid a deposit then gave bank details for a direct debit to be set up with first payment coming out in October.
Come October I get a call from the club - "we are having problems with our direct debits, can we just charge your card each month?" My response was "No" as I have no control over who or what would be charged to my card each month in a 'customer not present' transaction.
I am now told it's not possible to do it via direct debit (as advertised on the flyer) due to "problems with our direct debits", so they are happy to let me downgrade to a Gold membership if I pay the balance between the deposit and the Gold Membership price, effectively turning down a further £100 or so.

"Problems with direct debits" - could it be that they don't want money going into the particular account for whatever reason?
At this moment in time I really couldn't give a stuff. I've been watching through thin and thinner for forty years and always maintained I was "Wakefield Till I Die", well a bit of me is dying.

Indeed. I would like these comments passed to the club for answers. This kind of thing has been going on a long time, not just now mind you. I joined Club 1873 at the ground first time it came out. They lost the form. I did another. They couldn't get the Direct Debit Sorted, they were having problems with The Halifax. It was almost a year before the first DD was taken! I couldn't give them my money....And now it seems nothing has changed.

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg



The way I see it is that a guy who was involved in the club but not actively has suddenly found himself holding the reins of the runaway horse as it bolts down a steep hill to a cliff, all of this with a large crowd looking on. I have no idea how hard it is to resolve what is going on behind the scenes, what kind of mess has been left behind, but the impression I do get is that he is trying his hardest to bring it under control in a way that ensures the horse doesn't bolt again.

There is too much expectation of instant transformation and maybe too much expectation that we can somehow magically carry on as before. The magic formula is probably Glover's marketing skills and Carter's pragmatism. As we have to choose, Glover's marketing skills just postponed the mess for another day, and so for now I'll settle for pragmatism.

We can all have a great time and go out every night and spend what we want, but when the credit card bill lands, it's either carry on and go bust or stay in with a take away.
