A bit of praise

[MK Iron]

We can all be a bit quick to complain when the club doesn’t get everything right but I want to give a shout out to the great service I received in the club shop this morning.

2 of my grandsons have imminent birthdays and in my quest to guide them away from the gooners towards the light decided to buy them shirts.

Despite being fairly busy received great help with sizing and was brought freshly packaged ones rather than those on the rails. Bought a couple of mugs and then was amazed when they did the numbers and names in about 20 minutes. Dealt with 4 different people all very helpful and all with a smile on their faces.

Swann and Hilton fast becoming a distant memory (nightmare).

Well done all.

People who are happy in their workplace invariably provide a better service. A lesson so few companies bother to learn.

Having digested the OP, frightening that there were 4 people who dealt with MK, tad over staffed, i think you’ll all agree.

To be fair one fella gave me the advice out in the shop then passed me to a younger fella that took payment whilst the first one went to check if they could do the name and number straight away.

Another young fella who was going to do the printing came to check exactly what I wanted on the shirts.

I popped over to Jollies for a sack of dog food while they were doing the printing then a pleasant lady gave me my shirts when I went back. All were busy and multi tasking but all efficient and pleasant with it.

If it hadn’t cost me £140 it would have been a pleasant experience. By the way my son in law bought them Arsenal shirts last season for £180 each. Apparently they don’t sell kids shirts only the whole kit even though the shorts they send out with kits for 4 and 6 year old would fit teenagers.

By comparison the lady in Jollies was fairly miserable and when I asked why the dog food was £60 instead of the £50 I usually pay was told – that’s the price. Pets at Home next month then.

Not one but two bits of praise, the club recognizing the volunteers tomorrow naming them as captain and programme sponsors and treating them to hospitality well done all. Also they’re opening another catering outlet in the Britcon, that should help alleviate the queues.

Spot on Awaywego we all get stuff wrong but let’s take a bit of joy when we get it right.

[Awaywego]

My praise doesn’t touch the side to what they get wrong, the equivalent of finding a penny but losing a pound so no joy for me.

Maybe I’ll turn it round in future and praise the club for price increases and the like.
Thank you Sufc for raising my season ticket price by 14.4% and my grandson’s by 50% hope you spend the money wisely and helps employ a few more non playing staff.
Not so much moaning more questioning everything.

[Iron-awe]

Costs rise things cost more and after several seasons of no price increases for season tickets the club has recently had to put them up, it’s all part of being sustainable. You either want a professional club in your town or you don’t and as for your grandson he should pay more, what is he a bloody freeloader? Get a grip man and stop griping.

[Awaywego]

Which planet are you on if you think its alright to increase a pensioners season ticket by 14.4%, especially off the back of an average crowd of over 4400, do like your empathy though.
No price rises for a few seasons and a price decrease to reflect the division we lowered yourselves into last season, under who’s tenures was that then,they seem to be nice people to get behind.

[cassidystash]

Do you want a club to support?

[Awaywego]

Well if there going to rely on me as a prerequisite then the answer is no.

[Iron-awe]

Why not stay away then and take your grandson with you, go fishing or something else bloody mundane you’ll probably enjoy it .

They’re looking to make the club sustainable and secure its future. Tough and unpopular decisions are necessary as part of that.

Undoing Hilton’s Trussenomics will be an achievement in itself,something to praise .Only an idiot would think otherwise

[Awaywego]

Are you Kier Starmer in disguise Cass.
It’s grandsons Ironawe both season ticket holders with two more in the background if they get interested, so that’s me a son 2 grandkids more than doing our bit for the club thank you. If everyone stayed away who criticized the club down there years there’d be no one left.
If your happy with the club being on the greedy side then all well and good I’m not and if they continue I will highlight anything they do in the future.
Cheeky bastards yesterday advertising the halftime draw as a 50/50 draw on the money buckets lol.

No, just somebody that lives in the real world. (Unlike most politicians)

You didn’t question why a convicted fraudster would want cash only for an unbelievably low priced season ticket. A price so low in fact it got you a self appointed “core fan to ignore at your peril” ” to buy one after years of refusing to go to home games .

[Awaywego]

Michelle would only take cash this season, and like I said the ticket was priced for the league we were in.
Does make you wonder though now you’ve mentioned it Why the fraudster didn’t ask for more.

[64]

the only thing I wonder is where the cash went

[Awaywego]

Paying wages from when he took over in January he received no season ticket money himself the wages were over £100.000 a month weren’t they, then the taxman £200.000 to get us out of the embargo, I guess the season ticket money made a small dent in that.

[64]

I thought he paid everything himself? It’s what he and his oddball followers claimed in between slagging bru off and abusing its users

[Awaywego]

You mean literally really! That’s not how it works I thought you’d be clever enough to realize a business gets money coming in and then pays out and it doesn’t come out of the owners pocket completely though in football most clubs run at a loss and owners have to find it themselves.
Maybe with that knowledge you’ll understand a bit better and grasp why they were abusing you they must have thought you were a right numpty.

[Siderite]

Those who abused seem embarrassed by their past support for Dave now though, so maybe they didn’t have a better grasp of the situation when they were praising him for ‘saving the club’ by racking up more debt and more.
