City Circle

As a well known Wolves fan once sang (well sort of) ...

Hey, City, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, City, you'll drive me to ruin.
I don't know what it is that I like about you, but I like it a lot.
Won't let me hold you, Let me feel your lovin' charms.

Communication Breakdown, It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!

Hey, City, I got something I think you ought to know.
Hey, City, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I'm never gonna let you go,'Cause I like your charms.
 
Bought one for my lads 18th amongst other things, He's 21 this year. Im interested to know if they still have some available so I can pour some more money down the drain for this years Birthday.
 
I'm pretty certain that if you want to get your money back you would be legally entitled to, especially if the club haven't regularly informed you of progress. Also a possibility of damages if the purchase was for a special/specific occasion which is now not valid.

If you bought by credit card, speak to your card issuer.

At the very least they would have to respond with a written update.
 
Anybody else whose bought a disc have a call from the club ?

Strange conversation in which the guy apologised for the delay and explained about the building work going on and the relocation etc. Then said they are nearly ready to start and the contractor doing the installation has been told to get back to them with start/completion date etc. and that they should know within two weeks and will get back to us. I appreciate the contact, but after waiting this long, surely it would have been better to ring in two weeks time with the full lowdown of what was happening ?

I had a recent conversation with someone who should know what's what and he said they're aiming to have them down by Easter.

That's three weeks away.

Has anyone seen any work going on that may suggest the discs are going to be in place by then?
 
No chance of them being down any time soon!

I spoke to customer services last week (who obviously could not apologize enough), who informed me that there is a meeting in the next fortnight to discuss the future of the project...in other words they have no fucking idea idea as to what what is happening anymore than us!

I did politely suggest that they should post an update in here, but that seems to have fallen on deaf ears!
 
I had an email from City today asking me to ring regarding City Circle. It was actually a reply to an email I sent 2 months ago! I spoke to Charlie. He had been put onto this project in the last couple of weeks. He stated that the builders responsible have been given until this week to come up with an actual date for the work. The location is now the base of the bridge. He said this date would be communicated to purchasers next week. He would not estimate if they were talking weeks or months. Now, there is no way of knowing if this will materialise, but at least it seems that the club are actually doing something at long last.

A shame we haven't done the decent thing and offered folk their money back for what is now a very different deal to the one they signed up for.

We get so much right, I struggle with how badly we've got this wrong.

Poor show City.

I agree - a complete piss take. The money was taken literally years ago. I did ask for a refund about 12 months ago and then changed my mind on the basis that I was informed by the club that it was ‘about to happen’. I’m guessing that they didn’t sell enough to complete their original plan, so now, they will locate the ‘circle’ (or will it now be a square) in a slightly out of the way spot, rather than circling the ground, which was the basis we bought these things on. The club are in clear breach of contract and anybody who wants a refund should get one. I’m surprised that the press haven’t picked this debacle up yet.
 
It's fair to say the club haven't covered themselves in any glory with this. The whole thing has been a bit shambolic.
 
The take up seems to have been much, much lower than expected

It was supposed to go around the ground, now it's a tiny version at the base of the bridge
 
There's still no real date and the location will be moved as well, been a very poor performance by City.

Should offer us a freebe buffet/padded seat for the Carling Cup first home game next season as a sign of goodwill and the option of a refund.

Really I just want me circle in the ground.....

Me too bud, It will happen and the fact that it is now on a smaller scale will make it all the more special
 
Any updates?

Bought on 1st day of sale in 2012. Still no goods.

Quite frankly I'm struggling to recall any project that has been delayed so much and where the provider just sits there oblivious to there own shameful incompetence.

I think the circles should be relocated to somewhere VERY prominent like outside the main entrance by way of compensation.

My eldest 2 boys went by the way of the Rags (painful story) and I bought into the City Circle as a way of forging a lasting bond between me & the youngest so we had something City related we could share for eternity and hopefully he and his kids in the future too.

He was constantly asking me when they would be installed but over the last year, possibly longer he's never mentioned it. I'm loathed to criticise the club I love as I know shit happens in life, but its not a good reflection on those charged with the responsibility of this.

Please City, don't confine us to the base of a bridge, put the City Circles somewhere very prominent & make the fans who opted into it feel exclusively special as was promised.
 
Ask for a refund, as they've not delivered the goods they said they would (although check for fine print about what they actually offered and caveats about timescales).

But a refund isn't what most fans want - they want what they bought into, namely a prominent and lasting memento / memorial. Ideally somewhere they can visit, and show friends who come to the stadium. Somewhere 'pleasant and purposeful' - not 'wherever it be shoved'.

The RIGHT gesture here, if I were representing City.... would be to refund everybody who bought into it, and offer it them for free. City have botched this, City should put it right. For me, that's the right things to do, and the best way to salvage the mess.
 
Totally agree. They've had our money for over two years. The only info we've had is that we have chased ourselves. The latest is we 'should hear something by the end of March '15. I'm not holding my breath. Very, very poor from a club I've supports since 1953.
 
Am so glad the guy behind me had a screwdriver on the last day of Maine Road.

Feel sorry for everyone ripped off by the club regarding City Circle. Even if it ends up happening, I wonder if it will still be seen as a special thing because of this fuck up.
 
At the base of that shit bridge is just an insult, what are the Club thinking of?

My son & I paid for the middle value circle and he was offered a refund some 2 months ago but told them no thanks as he now considered it to be a charitable donation.

All in all a piss poor idea by the Club and very badly managed not unlike our transfer policy in the last three years.

If they go ahead and place it by the bridge I will be sorely tempted to remove our circle by whatever means are available to me.
