Gingermoods fuckin right it is.

Gingermoods

daleoufc89 I have noticed that I seem to be the only one swearing 😬

Gingermoods

oxblogger gonna be tough but I’ll try not to say wanker from now on.

I would suggest our social media is created by AI. But I think AI would come up with stuff far less predictable.

Everyday Sexism from ChatGPT there assuming I meant the men’s team. I mean, I did but that’s not the point.

Gingermoods

Still used the strong arm emoji though.

brinyhoof

You copied and pasted that from a club tweet, right?

brinyhoof

Fuck me…

JonnyBiscuits

Can somebody furnish Chris Williams with a fresh pack of questions please.

brinyhoof

JonnyBiscuits as we hear when Nathan does the post-match interview, I think you could ask DB any question and you would get a politicians answer I.e. a quick scoff followed by a City Group stock response that has no relation what was asked. Surely there must be a middle ground between this sterile bollocks and KR’s emotiogeddon?

brinyhoof

OUT NOW!

brinyhoof inspired by this, here is my team…

daleoufc89 ah, nice one! Quite a lot of crossover. As you can tell, our approaches were all quite different from the best players even if they were more associated with the 90s/10s, to those who personified the decade, to those that were as obscure as possible.

Nice one! A good read, cheers.

daleoufc89

brinyhoof yeah, it’s a difficult decade to do really seeing as we only had success in the final year. That said, there were still some good players in other squads

Building on @brinyhoof’s point in the Board Members thread…

I appreciate there are bigger issues to worry about, but this is my job and so it makes my skin crawl to see it done so badly. On a very fundamental and basic level, this is a dreadful piece of communication. It’s badly worded, impersonal, jargony and has the important messages all the wrong way around. Who is writing this stuff, and why isn’t there a quality-control sign-off process? I also think this points to the bigger issues the club has around communications in that there isn’t a senior communications manager overseeing all this, ensuring consistent quality and approach, and challenging bad practice.

Online update

We remind supporters that during the move from our current third-party CRM partner to Sports Alliance, supporters will notice some temporary disruption when accessing online services, such as ticketing and retail.

If you are looking to purchase tickets for tomorrow night’s home game against Wigan Athletic or the U’s away match against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, you will not be able to purchase tickets online until further notice.

We would recommend calling the Ticket Office team on 01865 337533, who will be happy to assist.

I’ve reworded it for them.

Online ticket sales currently out of action

Online ticket and club shop sales are currently out of action as we upgrade our systems.

If you’re looking to buy tickets for tomorrow night’s home game against Wigan or our trip to Wycombe on Saturday, you’ll need to call the ticket office on 01865 337533 or pop up to the stadium and pay them a visit. The club shop is also open during its usual hours to buy in-person.

This is because we’re making changes to our systems to make it much easier for you to interact with the club online - we’re moving over to a company called Sports Alliance who are a well-respected and experienced organisation providing digital systems to clubs around the world like Leicester City, Rangers, QPR, Bristol City, Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and DC United.
