Sherpa with respect, a lot of other clubs have many ,many staff, not all volunteers. Thus are more organised. I agree its a nice touch but its aimed at making Farnborough more money not to make Welling's day any better. Im not knocking it. They know welling take 50-100 away and see that they would all have some money to spend.

If you email a club they often have to pass your emails on to the relevant department, with us we have two people who run the show, which is why sometimes things dont get done as they are chasing their arse all day long doing stuff. Farnborough amongst others have lots of people as staff and thus have the time to market things.

To really praise them they could have put on specials for food or happy hour etc etc specifically to bring in 50 or more fans early from Welling. Now that would have been praiseworthy.

I completely agree with you. But we need a structure to be able to do that which all liases with a commercial department and day to day running of a semi professional football club.

You cant expect everything to be done by well intentioned volunteers for many reasons.

Good business sense something as simple as this goes a long way.

Thats the thing Mark, these clubs put on 2 course meals, VIP Seating, etc etc. We havent got it to offer.

Jgfc... dont put a downer on marks idea... he can write the email offering a visit to a real old fashioned bar that may or may not have real ale on sale, and fish and chips from the chippy up the road..the chance to watch a decent football team....
and if they want to pay an extra £50 they can sit in front of the camera and stand up at important times
