Guest toonlass Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 They aren't even looking at who wants to move yet though. They apparently have just been date stamped and left in a pile somewhere until May. How hard would it be to have someone working from when the renewals came in allocating seats in particular areas requested to movers on a first come first served basis. Would also have meant that DD could gave been set up over 12 months too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have a feeling that the box office are severely understaffed and unprepared for the logistics of the new seating arrangements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Maybe Simon Esland should be reminded of this: http://getsatisfaction.com/nufc/topics/first_payment_for_people_moving_from_the_leazes_corner I was told the particular seats never mind the area were available, but have heard nowt. They're f***ing useless man. Is the reason therefore that the seat may have been free from season ticket holders last year but the fact that people from level 7 now want these seats means it will have to happen on a first come first served basis ? So the reason it hasn't been done on the date it was handed in is possibly because 6 other people from level 7 are trying for the same seat ? Very much doubt that as most people from L7 seem to be heading for Leazes L4 (I've asked for the Gallowgate). Also, I rang the ticket office the day I received the form and asked of the availability of the 2 seats in question. I was told that the seats were available and to indicate the seat numbers on the form and it would be sorted straight away. Finally, as Simon Esland has said elsewhere, the applications will be processed in order received so I don't think there'll be too many got theirs in before me let alone be requesting the same seats. The whole thing is a shambles man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine (although correctly me if I am wrong) that most people wanting to move from level 7 to level 4 would simply have put something like 'level 4', 'level 4C' etc. Even if they hadn't they still could have gone through all the requests for moves and given everyone possible their preferred seat by now.

Guest toonlass Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 My three friends and I asked for 4 specific seats that are free next to another friend who is already a season ticket holder in level 4. We hold very little hope of getting the specific seats but just getting an acknowledgement that they have received the forms would be nice. Even though I handed them in personally, and in fact handed them to a box office staff member, who I watched place them into the black box, I hold no faith in them not coming back and saying that the forms weren't received.

TheGuv Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Will be interesting to see how many people from Level 7 get moved to the area of their choice. I'll be really f***ing p***ed off if im not in L4. I requested L4B/C/D, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Got this today in an email. Seeing we've (the movers) have had no acknowledgement of receipt of renewal application how are we supposed to know if the club has received them? Even though I handed in the renewals personally I don't trust the club not to lose them.

BlueStar Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Well, fuck knows what they're playing at. Just opened some letters that have been on the table for a few days and they're both from the club, saying they've been unable to take payment from my direct debit for my season ticket. "The collection has been returned by your bank for the following reason: PRESENTATION OVERDUE." They say I have to contact them within seven days (the last letter is dated the 20th and has another direct debit form, identical to the one I filled in at the time attached) or I'll not remain in the 10 year monthly payment scheme. So I ring my bank and they say the direct debit was set up with them on the 9th of March with no problems, it's all in order and the club have made no attempt to take a payment.
