urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Well to say I am slightly fuming is an understatement:

I received a phone call yesterday to say that the club had double booked the clubhouse on Saturday with a 30th!!!!!!!!!

Bear in mind I booked the room as soon as the fixtures came out for last home game of the season and checked again in Dec and again when a stag do was mentioned in another thread and was told yes we are aware that you have booked!!!!!!!

All the players, management and Directors were all attending and yet I was told this 30th was booked back in Nov... I felt sick :(

I was told they needed to speak to Rob and call me back. I didn't get a call by the time I left work so emailed Rob to find out what is going on.

I received a reply this morning with an apology and to try and sort it out.. the suggestion being holding the presentation night in the Crown. Rather than make the decision myself I thought I would ask people who are more than likely to attend what their thoughts are..

SO PEOPLE WHAT DO YOU THINK???????

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

i think you got the room for free and the other people paid.. so you got (very wrongly) shafted...


my opinion..
keep to original plan or stuff it

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Hold it in the Oaklea upstairs if available!

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Can't blame ya for being mad especially as you checked only a few weeks back.
Hope they enjoy the 18th in the Crown :rolleyes:

Harwood, I will leave it up to you.... sorry, but you have organised it and put the work in so will go with what you think... but got to say that this must almost be the final straw, if it's not messageboard links, it's silence over buy out's and if not that it's something else... would Coley and the players still be coming to the Crown????

Like K-P's reply though..:)

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

MCR I have suggested Rob checks the Oaklea's function room to relocate the 30th birthday party as our numbers would be too many for there and to be honest our end of season do should in my mind be at the club

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

To be honest I think this is the final straw, for me anyway... Yes all staff would still attend if it was at the Crown but personally I don't think it would work aswell up there, for a start there is no dance floor!! And the shape of the pub doesn't really give everyone an option to mingle well

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

How, if it's been double booked can you be told to go to the Crown :confused: Thought you had booked it first and since then confirmed it...... :eek:

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

My thoughts exactly... get the feeling its easier to let fans down than non fans down although I am presuming the 30th was booked by non fans!!

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Mine was a gut reaction.. I should ahve waited longer than 10 seconds before posting my reply.. I was amazed you had this done to you ... However i would rather see the event go ahead rather than no at all.

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Ok was just a thought, yes our end of season do should be at the club, How will the crown work where would the presentation be given? isnt that smaller that the clubhouse?

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

At the end of the day, the supporters club booked the room first so should not have to move just because the club cocked up by double booking. The club should be contacting the people who have booked the 30th birthday party to tell them of their mistake & try to relocate them, even if we did manage to find an alternative venue at such short notice I doubt many of the players would be there.
I suppose we could manage to have it in the Crown if absolutely necessary and, as K-P has said it would be better there than not to happen at all but it's far from ideal, as all the trophies have been sorted the only other alternative would be to get all the players in the clubhouse after the game so that the winners can be given their respective awards, the negative side to that is that the clubhouse will need to be cleared early to make way for the people coming in to set up for the party.

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

These things arnt done on purpose... initiial reaction is shock (to say the least) but count to ten take a deep breath and move forward.... To me there only seems two options... the clubs and accymads..

Make the presentations directly after the game
Use the Crown..

Neither is ideal but realisticly these are the only two options... either time for a public vote or time for the OSC to make a decision that we all agree they should never have had to make

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Am sure the 30th will not mind and extra x amount of people! If we bring the Coley-oke along with us! :theband:

have it on the pitch! does not go dark till about 8.30 and we have lights if he does!

Re: urgent question re: Sat night!!!!
 

Best solution all round MCR.....Gets my vote... :D:):D
