Dear Raelene...Are you listening!!!?

[Novdoggie]

I say Bull Shit, poorly directed letter and seems this thread was started @ about 11am this morning, the response has been rather poor also.
I would suggest that sending a letter like that had no bearing on whether you threaten to withdraw your membership, I say that you were going to withdraw your membership anyhow and you are using our football teams performance as the excuse, you probably simply cannot afford it.
You can't win em all Guys!! and in saying that you don't withdraw your membership just because the team is not performing to your expectations week in and week out, thats when you need to hang in there and would you believe that on the day we were beaten by a very good Rugby League team who played great football.
2017 will be another year to have another go and we have the best coach to dig us out of the little hole we are in right now.
Roll on 2017, my membership will stay strong, I will never spit the dummy you may say!

Qld Dog,
You say you are a member and you interpret yourself as a know it all.... I say BULL SHIT! Get your facts right btw. After attending the game on Sunday and viewing such a poor display I sent an email that evening to the memberships dept. I'd had enough after going to about 15 games this season. Their reply came in at about 10am Monday, hence my post at 11:00am. About the time you wake up in Qld. So what's your point? Unlike most of us on here we actually go to the games and for yourself who watches and comments on the games and defends the playing style from your hammock in Qld would not know what we are talking about. Only fans who go to watch the games would have an understanding of how outdated and inept the playing style is and would know the memberships on offer are not worth it's value, hence my choice not to renew. That's my opinion and you have yours but don't be an arsehole and criticise those making a choice on what is of benefit to them.I clearly highlighted that. So, while we are on the subject I'm not sure what rock you have been living under but haven't you heard all the commentators talking about how boring our style is, but we fans have known this for the past few seasons? We have every right to make a decision and express our dissapointed at the club and coach which you say has the "best coach", because without the fans who PAY and GO to the games, well there is no Rugby League Team. Grow some balls and stand up for a change instead of pussy footing around because it's hammock watching cane toad critics like yourself who is content with what is displayed on the field will only result in seeing the team go backwards in years to come.

[south of heaven]

I highlighted this in another thread...

I wonder about the breakdown for our 20,000 members.

I reckon it would be:
10,000 gifted to refugees
9,900 auto renews
50 new members
50 manual renewals.

But how can we sleep when our beds are burning?

 

[top-dog]

Hi All,

The following thread is purely my reasons and mine only to cancel my membership effective immediately. I speak for myself and not to influence anyone who chooses any differently. I respect every ones decision on how they will go about their choices in the future regarding their Bulldogs club membership. We are all entitled to express our opinions.

The following was sent to the Bulldogs Membership department......

Hi,

Could you please advise if my membership is on auto renew for the above membership #'s? (removed from thread)

If so, please remove this as I would like to confirm that I will not be renewing both
of these memberships.

Please confirm by reply your acceptance. Thank you.

Hi (name removed from thread),

Thanks for your email.

That is very unfortunate. Is there any particular reason for this?

You are on the automatic rollover but we will take you off.

Please note that if you do not renew by the deadline, your seats will be allocated to
someone else.

Please let us know if you do change your mind and we will be happy to help you.

Kind Regards,
Bulldogs Membership

Hi,

Thanks for your confirmation in cancelling our memberships.

Sure i am happy to explain my reasons for cancelling them.

As far as entertainment on the playing field goes we never got our value for money. For
what the season tickets cost us, the quality, the style and the lack of understanding
for change when required during the season provided a very, very boring product. It
felt like we were watching the same thing week in week out.

I will also share my frustrations when deals are done with a player saying when they
will and when they won't play, so how do you expect members to support the club and
team throughout the year when a player is not prepared to do so? This club use to stand
for Club first, team second and player third. Us members have been taken for a ride
where you took our money but did not provide the full product when injuries took no
part. Simply a player did not want to play for personal reasons and good luck to him.
That's not what i paid for as i thought prior to renewing our memberships in late 2015
that all contracted players will play if 100% fit (excluding suspensions) in 2016.
That's a slap in the face to us as a consumer.

In future, your CEO, Board Members and Coach should not disrespect their members and
fans by expecting us to turn up in the cold, the rain and at times very tight schedules
and in particular when most people are struggling to save a dollar but put it towards
supporting the club and team when a contracted player is not prepared to do so and when
a coach was not prepared to change the product he was providing when it clearly was not
working. We'd had enough!

Also, there were 22,000 people at last weekends finals game against Penrith. That's
less than 10,000 Bulldogs members (as not all would have been members). Where were your
other 10,000+ members? Now lets not use the venue Allianz Stadium as an excuse. The
sooner your CEO, Directors and Coach realise that members and fans are turning away due
to the above reasons the quicker we will start seeing the entertainment we pay for on
the field that we have been known for and want to watch win, lose or draw. Then and
only then you may see members and fans returning. But unfortunately we will not be in
2017.

I appreciate for your time in hearing my reasons.

I STOPPED MINE TOO TODAY AS WELL

LOL hey numb nuts! I am not a cane toad! I am a NSW supporter but, more importantly a Bulldog supporter and as I have said in a previous post I come from Greenacre and now reside in Qld.
I will never be a Bulldog critic like yourself however, I am always willing do discuss where we lost a game, where we won a game and discuss players performance objectively.
I will never sent threatening emails to the club I have supported for 50 years threataning to withdraw my membership NEVER!! it costs me a lot more to attend the games where my time permits @ ANZ Stadium and I also attend the games the Dogs play at Suncorp and CBus Super Stadium, do you know what assume means??
30 to 40 posts in this tread shows that you are minority anyway.

 

[finchie]

you saying the Bronco's, Cows and Titans play terrible RL?? how about the Qld SOO side lol

What the fcuk are u on about
Where did I say that
Sorry u have lost me along with 3/4's of the kennel

 

[BondiBulldog]

When I originally read 'Qld-Dog's' post I thought it was Hasler in disguise..

 

[Dogzof95]

When we pay for something we don't expect it to break inside a year! If it does we need to let the seller know and we expect the seller to fix the bloody thing!

Most of us don't expect the team to win every game, but we do expect them to respect the club and the jersey their playing for and in, when they go out on the field they put in 100% and that all the fans ask, currently this is not happening and we as paying members expect them to fix it!

I'm in Hawaii but will write a letter when I get home and see what reply I get!

Good response, excellent response. If I were in your position though, mine would've been a lot more simple. This is what I would've said:

Just like a certain player in the team has personal reasons for not playing games on Sundays, I have personal reasons for not renewing my membership.

I appreciate for your time in hearing my reasons.
