That's fair enough. Just getting rid of Pascoe and most the board was enough for me
Yeah it was a fun day. I’m still dining out on that one, I think Mrs BF has just about heard that story one too many times. It gets the big eye roll 🙄. I also back it up with the Tigers will be back and all that talk. 😁
We need your support more than ever right now my Tiger brother. I know it’s been hard watching the last couple of years (decade). But we’re trying to turn the ship, and we need as many hands on deck as possible. A true diehard supporter like yourself is the very type of supporter we can’t loose, and if we have, then we’re wholeheartedly sorry for that, but we need you back asap. We need you back walking round town, tall and proud with your members hat on. Blocking all the potshots from punters, and yelling Go Tigers to all your fellow hat wearing members. Now you don’t need to be a member to be a diehard supporter, and you are testament to that, but didn’t you feel good when you were out and about, and come across another Tigers Bro, and you were able to say “Yes I am a member of my beloved mighty Tigers, how about you?”
Your 💯 right.
That’s another thing the last decade has cost us; the kids. My family were Magpies, and you just did not go for anyone else, or else. You don’t go against the family, and Nana would see to that. But our next gen are all over the shop. They know the family team is the Tigers, but most have their own team. It’s sad. That’s why when someone like yourself is saying your not keen to member up, it worries me bcoz we are the diehards and even some of us are questioning how much our support is costing us. For people like you and me it’s probably not about the money, but the time and emotional investment and that investment has become like an emotional anchor. If we the diehards are feeling this way then what chance are we of getting the support of this new gen?
A proper fan or supporter would not be airing their grievances to the old Buzzard.
Hank I hear those last two paragraphs, and I to in the past, have not renewed due to financial reasons, mainly the yearly price rises a few years back. I rang to discuss my disappointment in yet another price hike and it fell on deaf ears, so I did not renew for a couple of years. During that time they would send marketing emails trying to sell me a membership. I hadn’t heard from them in a while and got another email, slightly different but with the same intention. So I replied to that email and said if you want me back then the least you could do is give me a call to find out why. Well quicker than a bunny rabbit in spring time a young bloke was on the line asking what the issue was and how we could fix it. I told him they keep raising the membership and the minister for finance and fashion had bought it up during question time. He said they had the same complaint from others and could assure me that the price had gone down by a few dollars and would stay at that rate for the next 3 years. I signed up and have ever since.
FAB were on both sleeves but only a few months later upgraded their sponsorship to also include back. A sweet deal if you ask me, considering Brydens deal?
Buzz soiled himself according to sources with an understanding of the situation.
Front of shirt sponsor is worth a fortune in our team as the players spend a lot of time standing under their own posts with the camera pointed directly at them.
Now I understand Lee’s strategic plan. All makes sense now 😂
