Club to break 20,000 and it's silence midweek.

[domiroo]

Well I think the issue here is a simple misund.... oh wait...

THE ROO SHOP CLOSES AT 1 ON SATURDAYS AND THE FAMILY DAY FINISHED AT 3 AND WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES AWAY, SO WHAT TIME DID YOU ARRIVE? 4PM? WHO DRIVES 3 AND A HALF HOURS AND DOESN'T PLAN AHEAD?

WHEN YOU GET THROUGH TO THEM ON 1300 36 32 31 AND BUY YOUR MEMBERSHIP - BECAUSE ONLY A TWAT WOULD NOT SUPPORT A CLUB THAT NEEDS MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO PLAN AHEAD - ASK THEM FOR A NEW KEYBOARD INSTEAD OF A HAT WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE YOUR ****ING CAPS LOCK APPEARS TO BE BROKEN.

Arrived at 2 by train had to leave my car a a station so didnt have to drive in to town and by the time i caught the other train it was too late to go to family day.
by the way on the door of the roos shop said sat and sun closed you TWAT. wont need a new keyboard or hat Di@k head wont be back to
Melbourne for a while .

Are you for real? Blaming the club for your own absolute stupidity?

For the life of me I cannot understand why you would not have rung the club first.

This really is funny.

I can just see you heading out the door, packed lunch in hand, reading your membership brochure on the train while eating a salami and cheese sandwich, having a little nap only to be woken up by the jolt of the train stopping at North Melbourne station. Wiping the dribble, stretching the legs, walking down to the Roo shop, slapping your forehead when you see it is closed. Calling around trying to find out what is going on. Second wind when you hear the family day is on, running back to the station to catch the train there, jumping out at the show grounds, looking around everywhere slapping your head as you notice a few North banners be loaded into cars.

Train home.

*sigh*

Chin up buddy, just call up and they will sort you out. Cheaper than a train ticket!

Driving 3 and half hours is a commendable effort just to buy a membership.

It wouldn't hurt if this board could be a little more helpful to those supporters that obviously aren't as connected to the club as us.

 

[domiroo]

So did you drive 3 1/2 hours or train it?

No drove to Epping caught train in from there but any way. Being desperate for supporters i thought that they would have either stayed open a little longer or been open on the weekend just a little peed off .The only chance i get for ages to get down and its shut of course i came down for other reasons but this was the main one . bad luck i thick. you now us country people dont get down there too often. to watch games so really the money that is spent by a country person adds to keep the club afloat . dont treat us like dicks we have our own clubs that are in dire need too and need our hard worked cash to keep them going . this is the AFL club i go for and have for over 30 years . ill see when i can make it again and no not from Carnegie .

You're right.
Probably doesn't have internet.

And saying you then wont buy a membership because of a failure to plan ahead is not.

Drove 2 1/2 hours, parked at Epping and then caught a train?
You only had about 25 minutes to go and I am pretty sure there is no hook turns from Epping to Arden Street.

Big smoke traffic jams scared you off?
They are killer on a Saturday arvo.

 

[NimChief]

Brayshaw emphasised at the Family Day the need for all of us to help sign up everyone we know who is a Roos supporter.

We all want to crack that 30k by round one, is it that hard to just post the membership hotline instead of bagging the person out??

To be fair, Nim, said poster jumped on the thread in a blaze of glory, and proceeded to empty both barrels on the club.....without any real due cause. It's a bugger of a situation, sure, but the club has done nothing wrong here. It rightly appears that a bit of simple forethought on domiroo's part - in this case, a phone call in advance - could have easily averted this unfortunate mishap. He appears to be penalising the club for no good reason.

Anyway, opposing views have been exchanged, I've had a quiet word in the background, and hopefully now we can all move on.

Not sure what it is about these memberships threads, but anyone needing one of these, feel free to PM me......

Mate, You have the Internet (www.kangaroos.com.au) the Telephone (1300 36 32 31) yet your blaming the club because you haven't got your membership. Thats just crap far as I'm concerned & everyone else on here. Your just looking for an excuse not to buy a membership & then come on here & throw your complaints to get some twisted acceptance.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

I am concerned about the use of the apostrophe in this thread title, which translates as Club to break 20,000 and it is silence midweek.

Silence where? Bigfooty?? I doubt it . . .

That's what I thought too.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Your colleague needs a short sharp slap. 'Please contact me' is perfectly simple.

The other one which confuses is 'less' and 'fewer'.

Indeed. For a raving crackhead Pete Doherty still has excellent grammar, as evidence by his correct use of fewer in the immortal line 'there are fewer more distressing sights than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap' in Time For Heroes.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

It's confusing, it is, isn't it?

People are also confused by 'I' and 'me'. One of my colleagues signs off his letters with "please contact myself".

I'm OK on its and it is (it's) but not too good (read bad) on who and whom.

Does your colleague work in HR? I have heard "myself" used awkwardly to avoid saying "me" in more interviews than I can recall. They must get taught it.

Rather that get into the right time to use who and whom, I will just say that using a poncy word like "whom" at all is the kind of pedantry up with which I will not put. (I think I can thank Churchill for that?)

"I" or "me" depends, of course, on whether you are the subject or object of the sentence. I do it - it gets done to me. I'm sure that's cleared everything up.

Now - NMFC member #20,000 - hope his signing up as we speak. Of course, is "she's" a woman we cannot make the same substitution of the possessive "her". That might be a helpful way to remember which word to use when? Not that it matters, really - Bigfooty wouldn;t be as much fun if we all spoke the same.

Must get on with my work...

Outstanding work H2H, and yes, that was one of Mr Churchill's classics.

When Northbhoy starts using emoticons, you know something is not right.

I agree. Dunno what that was about. A joke with KL which I'm sure she didn't get. Would have looked decidedly feminine to anyone else.

Agree 100%.

Domiroo, if you are sincere then I would ask you to put this one down to bad luck (because really, that's what it is), and not to punish the club. Please don't take this situation personally.

Ring the club in advance and make them aware that you are coming in and get on board for what should be a really exciting 2008.

They don't.
