Seasoncard Amnesty

2 CM 'reps', one says ST amnesty is a reaction to COVID govt guidelines and rules regarding getting fans back into stadia with track and trace


the other says it's something they've been considering for 12 months.


Which is it?
Well I've been involved in the meetings where we've been talking about it for nearly 18 months. It was planned this summer anyway. But Covid-19 makes it a necessity as we have to have accurate data on everyone who has an account, whether that's season card holders or Cityzens Matchday members. So both are right.
 
Was i imagining the fact i saw a lovely reply from eccles blue to my post when insomiacly (not a word!) had a quick browse at 3am, yet when i got up this morning, it's gone....?
 
If that's aimed at people like me who were querying the fact we don't have photo ID, i'dve hoped for better from someone elected... :( And i see later on you're calling people gobshites...

I apologised if i got the wrong end of the stick from your post but that went unnoticed, and i stand by what i said about ID as at the bank for example they would only accept passport or driving license which i didnt have. But i guess that's just me needing something to moan about. I could spew out all the big things i have to moan about, like the fact by the time my mum gets to go back into the stadium safely she probably wont remember what football is seeing as when i saw her today (i'm her "bubble") she had forgotten completely things that happened yesterday. (Hello to those in 102 who know mum, age 77, ill, and my life)

So yeah, i guess i shouldn't give a shit about photo ID, cos i doubt we'll be going - thanks for the positive repsonse from my inital genuine worry about photo ID at the top of page 2, you were the seasoncard representitive so i thought it was allowed to query worries to you without later on being called a moaned and hinted at no doubt being part of the gang of "gobshites".

oww. I’m guessing there special what’s app group have called you worse ...the CM group is a shambles and only looking after themselves.. how they got to this stage is a joke ...
elected my arse .. seasons ticket holder 30 years and never herd of a vote
Supposed to represent fans in there catagory
But all have supporters club backgrounds ringfencing there away ticket allocation whilst reducing normal fans .
speak for less then you 1% of our fan base
Get rid of them or make it fare

I'm sorry kippaxkid74 there was a post from me that I deleted because I thought it came across too 'Facebooky' if that makes sense? I was concerned that some might make fun of either me or you for me being soft!
In hindsight I should have just cut and pasted it to you in a PM but, as you say, it was the middle of the night and I was also suffering from insomiacly(!) and it didn't occur to me until too late.

I was basically saying please don't stress because whatever anyone on here says it is up to the club and we have to trust in them at the end of the day. You sounded stressed and I was concerned for you and I am sorry for being a wimp and not leaving it on now because I shouldn't have been worried about 'keyboard warriors' but about you!

Just please take it as read that the club will be the ones who make the decisions, they will listen to CM group as well but the club have to take the decisions that will help as many of us as possible. As I've said in another post they have to make the decision for thousands of us and it will not please everyone but there are so many things to be stressed about these days. I also ended with virtual hugs for you and your Mum which was another 'Facebooky' thing!! :-) (But they were sincerely meant!)





p.s. I'm glad that you thought it was a lovely reply, I does me best as my old gran used to tell me to do. :-)

p.p.s. I’ve just remembered that I also said if you had difficulty with the photo ID that the club would be able to help and talk you through it. There are employees there, regardless of how some see them, who are among the most helpful you could wish for.

What's pissing me off and I'd imagine a lot of blues is the terminology used by the CM representatives. they are just the currently appointed fans representatives and not employees of the club. Think they need to remember that.
See the below sentence Colin. Noticed you referring to it as WE a few times.
"But Covid-19 makes it a necessity as WE have to have accurate data on everyone who has an account".

You represent the fans. You don't need accurate records. The club do.

Maybe pay attention and vote next time, or alternatively stand yourself.
 
I think what’s needed is a football fans union across all clubs you have elected reps from across all divides young , old , ethnic backgrounds etc .
This should be a recognised union from all clubs
Where the reps sit at boardroom level on issues that concern the supporters , I’m very much concerned about this issue of season cards .
The cm lads are doing a thankless job I don’t agree with a lot with what they have come out with but... being a union rep for the GMB for years it’s a thankless task and trust they do their best but you will never ever please everyone as it’s personal circumstances for most .

this is my first ever post and in no way a political one.
Hope common sense prevails in all this.
