Memo to Mr Ryan.You and the KM2 have built up spectacularly successful businesses. Get shut of the wastes of space who think that marketing is placing a 2-point typeface advert on page 97 of the Free Press and then sending me (a SEASON TICKET HOLDER for fcuk's sake) 6 e-mails about ticket prices 18 hours before a game.GET RID OF THEM. THEY are the reason that the crowds are so low. Because they are not doing the job that they are paid to do.
Stop being disrepectful about jr ....he is totally right donny public deserve nothing and i hope he takes his money and never puts a penny more in!

Has anyone got one and can scan/post for me?

Memo to Mr Ryan.What is it with football club chairmen? They are clearly, obviously successful businessmen. Yet when it comes to running a football club, they chuck away the guidebook and assume a whole different set of rules apply.You and the KM2 have built up spectacularly successful businesses. Did you achieve this by paying no fcuking attention whatsoever to marketing, then moaning in the press at your customers when they didn't buy your products. Or was marketing a core activity of your business, run by motivated, able and professional people? And if it was the latter, why do you think that idea shouldn't be ported into a football club?Your comments betray a very worrying mentality in the club. You appear to think that because you make a decision (eg to reduce ticket prices), the whole world is suddenly aware of it. You seem to assume that your ex cathedra statements are being waited on by an entire population of potential fans.Thay re not. CLEARLY they are not.Think about people's circumstances.People lead busy lives. People are short of money. They don't go to football matches on a whim (assuming that they even hear about the reduced ticket prices). They need to budget and to plan. A long-term strategy of pricing and marketing is vital if you are going to win the fans to add to our core support. That does not mean some last minute, poorly communicated decision from the club. It means a rational, coherent and consistent strategy.Now, instead of putting this structure in place, you lash out at the ungrateful people of Donny. Please, please PLEASE Ryan stop this regular baiting of the people that you should be wooing. You have done 50% of the job required to attract people to the club by building up a quite superb playing side. Now do the same thing with your business management.Get shut of the wastes of space who think that marketing is placing a 2-point typeface advert on page 97 of the Free Press and then sending me (a SEASON TICKET HOLDER for fcuk's sake) 6 e-mails about ticket prices 18 hours before a game.GET RID OF THEM. THEY are the reason that the crowds are so low. Because they are not doing the job that they are paid to do.Sort out the ticket pricing strategy. Communicate it, consistently and visibly. Allow people to plan in advance their attendance at matches, secure in the knowledge that they can manage their stretched finances.And do not ever again slag off your customers. EVER.
Is that Gaz Winterman from Edenthorpe?Used to play in a band with him.
