I am not disappointed with the team performances - too many Division 1 games and results to ever feel like that.
What I am really disappointed at is the performance off the field. We all know and accept the major major contribution that certain people put into the club - both financially and in the amount of time they give to the club but honestly some of the off the field goings on are crazy. IMO - we have a strong board and Volunteers associated with the club but think about the following
* Third CEO/Commerical Manager in one season
* Assistant to above advertised at wage of 30k - i don't even know if that post was filled
* 3/4 season without a shirt sponsor
* 500 Club disaster - no promotion and then the format changes , without notification. Look at your Bohs programme - full page Direct Debit form for joining the 500 club - all the details that the club need to get your 25 euro a month - but nothing to tell you what the prizes are , whether it's 300 euro or a kick in the arse -
* Club Programme - quality , quantity, changed drastically a couple of times but has fallen again unfortunately
* Brazilian Shirt Raffle - remember that idea
* Bragg - Saw one ticket - hope it works
* Drogheda United Telecom - hope it works
* Fund Raising committee - whatever happened to this/them
Now I am a subscriber to the 500 Club and also a patron - so that's approx 700 euro a year. For that I get a season ticket and a choice of club garment - so effectively I am donating about 200 euro a year to the club - not much u say when compared with others but when u hear that the club again have moved the goalposts - 500 club - small point again but just gnawing at me at the moment.
DUFC know that they can rely on about 200 people to join up to all the ideas that they come up with - we hear through the grapevine of incentives and usually support but what is done for the rest - I'd love 2 c a list of 500 club members and compare it to a list of the usual suspects - we'd all know they'd be close.
and now the player of the year awards are on friday !!!!!! - 48 hours b4 the event the club are looking for help - sometimes it just beggars belief
These are professional times and the club is a business - get it sorted lads.
