Members of the first team have been hitting the phone lines following training sessions. Check how the current 'all-important leaderboard' stands so far...

Not going to lie probably the worst season ticket selling fad I’ve seen.

 

So, having made 131 calls to existing ST holders, there have been 2 pledges to renew. Not looking good Mr C.

 

So the players are telesales representatives now he he
what happens if the don't hit there sales quota.
transfer listed ?

 

George Miller the guy we've not seen is the only one who can get anyone to renew.

 

At least the players can list call centre experience on their CVs....
Or you could suggest Conway's just a cheap skate in getting the players to do call centre staff jobs

What next house to house leaflet dropping as part of their fitness training lol...
I wouldn't put it past this board of ours

 

And not a shed amongst them lol

 

Wtf is this?!

Let’s hope they have long and successful football careers because the alternative in telesales doesn’t look great.

next up Cauley Woodrow being presented with £20 worth of Argos vouchers for being salesman of the week.

it’s like we are living in some kind of bizarre comedy programme at the moment

 

Are they even allowed to use our phone numbers to do this? I’m sure I ticked that I don’t want any marketing calls. Imagine if every company started doing this, getting supermarket shelf stackers to phone us up asking us to do our big shop at Morrisons, Ikea restaurant staff trying to boost their meatball sales. I wasn’t too pleased with the idea of calls just for a chat, as that isn’t what I handed my phone number over for, but a sales pitch is even worse.

 

First eleven get to play the next game. Not sure about having two keepers on at the same time, but Radlinger can't make our defence any weaker than normal, so here goes...

Walton
Brown Sollbauer Radlinger Ludewig
Mowatt Dougal Simoes Bahre
Woodrow Miller

 

Must have the gift of the gab. Maybe he's promised that he will finally play a game so we can see why he was bought if you renew your ticket?

 

What you meant to say was:

So, having made ONLY 131 calls to existing ST holders, there have been ONLY 2 pledges to renew. Not looking good Mr C.

How long's this been going on? A week I think. Only 131 calls by the whole team??? wtf...

Embarrassing set of numbers all over. I can't believe the club would think this is even good enough to have created a list AND posted it on the internet.

 

That's the embarrassing bit. Internally, to create a bit of competition between naturally competitive individuals and to keep spirits up by making it a game? Sure, I can definitely see why they would do that. Posting it on the club website, though? And calling it 'the all-important leaderboard' when we're currently bottom of the league about to be relegated? Wt actual f? Put the phones down and spend an extra 30 minutes on target practice and stop embarrassing us. The only 3 points I care about are the ones on a matchday.

 

Nail - Head. You've hit it right there...

 

Tbf I'm sure they're not doing this instead of football training or even instead of extra training. Think they better earn as much as they can as footballers though because it strikes me they cant look to telesales when their football career is over!

 

That's another very good point JD.

P.S. I've just checked my account and good job they have my old phone number. I won't be updating it anytime soon...

 

Mamadou Thiam rang me to ask for my renewal but ran out of breath halfway through the call.

 

Hate the idea and thought behind it.

Spoke to one lad out walking. He was hoping to be able to get one of the players talking to his young un.

My contact details are available to the club. But last thing I want is being contacted by a player who doesn’t really want to make calls. I will just politely say not necessary if contacted. and advise the player of his rights to tell em to get stuffed. (See last paragraph.)**

I Loved the idea of the past where selected young uns are visited by players by surprise. Not as a selling gimmick but as a thanks for renewing and giving em a treat.

Would be interesting to know how many have already renewed.

Re the only 131 calls. It averages out at 6.5 fans per player per week. (5hrs max total each player) I know some fans that it would take up the full hr daily slot to get off the phone once contacted.

One idea for the bin for me. But I would also like someone to post who’s already had a call and give us the spiel.

**Also if I didn’t want to do it as a player, I’d flatly refuse. Unless I’d agreed to it in my contract. Guessing promoting the club may be a condition in the small print.

 

Probably rang his parents.
