Dave Usher Rant - TLW

[alunevans]

its pretty clear the ratio was ****e. i think usher's figures seem pretty accurate if not kind compared to what i've seen and read.

if there were really 30,000 fans in the ballot and its a 1 in 8 ratio then somehow we got only 4,000 odd tickets.

ie 60% of those meant to be in the ballot went elsewhere.

but where??

we DEMAND the numbers game

[lfc4ever]

Everyone needs to write or e mail the club and demand an answer to this

Fansite owners need to organise themselves and get together to say they represent x amount of fans, submit one letter, by registered mail, constructed in such a way that demands answers to the points, how it is going to be improved in the future, and that this situation will not be allowed to happen again, and it needs to be cc to The Chairmen and other members of the board.

Emails will only get the attention of the Press Officer, and we know what will happen after that, nothing as usual.

out of the ballot we were 0 out of 8 uefa have to take some blame but this is parry all over trying to deflect the spotlight away from himself.As alun says we should as fans have the right to know exactly how many tickets were in the ballot

[RedJedi]

Ive started a petition to get answers, not to have a go at the club. Just to get some clear answers, so we know where we stood.

the fanzines and websites as a group should write to george or tom direct in the states would be 100% certain you would get more response from them than you would parry or cotton

We're too nice.

Online petitions and internet forum squabbling will achieve very little.

The ticket office is a mess and has been for a while now. It needs sorting from top to bottom.

[mancdetester]

So does Usher know every card holder and everyone in the ballot?

Grind Axe To ?

I've just wrote urging the club to be transparent in order to regain people's trust. I've asked directly how many tickets were in the ballot and how many fans.

I see no reason except the sinister why the club can not make these figures known.

Not even a 10 word long statement?

[RoadEnd]

I got 0 from 4 fan cards. Relatives got 1 out of 9 entered.

That's 1 out of 13 fan cards.

I have been saying it for ages, Parry should be sacked not just for this but for many may cock ups. He is a prime example of a "douchebag" as Dave calls it who is living off our money and doing **** all. He doesn't deserve to be our CEO. He is so inept it's unreal, one of the two chuckle brothers have left us, now for the other one.

Be something like "You don't know the facts, so no comment, Ian Cotton"

That will be your 10 words!

Oh - welcome to the site btw, good to see you getting involved.

[alunevans]

Be something like "You don't know the facts, so no comment, Ian Cotton"

Or maybe "**** off you are just a supporter" more efficient at 7. And more honest too

[Maestro]

The whole ticket fiasco is depressing as **** - as Usher says, it really takes the shine off what should be such a huge celebration of football.

[nix92]

Agree there are some good points.

I'm one of the lucky 4000 with 7+ credits but the gloss has been taken off watching this fiasco unfold. I almost felt guilty ringing up this morning for my ticket whereas I should have been euphoric.

I think the club have badly underestimated the strength of feeling that this has brought out, I just hope that for once they actually take note.
