He deserves a "Universal Love" thread! Does he have one already?

Making our community proud?Yes Ben helped me out on a few occasions with membership queries etc.
Nothing was too much trouble for him
Shattered when he departed
I booked some tix to a 36'ers game a year or so back, but COVID messed that around. Got in touch with the Sixers - and lo and behold who calls me back but none other than Ben!
Went to the trouble of re-arranging our game for us. Again, no trouble for him. What an absolute prince of a bloke
Advised me to get back in touch when we sorted out which game we wanted to go to and he'd fix it.
Sadly, something in our family came up just prior to the gig we re-planned attending, so ended up not going.
Notwithstanding all that, just sayin' that people of that ilk and dedication to genuine customer service are like gold. You just don't get many of them in the world these days.
Absolute privilege to have come across him.
Port really have ****ed it up completely by p***ing him off from the Club. He was soooo important to them, it just beggars belief! Sounds like it was old mate having a fair bit to do with it too
Friend of my wife had a daughter who worked at the Club. Did a decent job of it too. Walked away because COVID caused temporary staff cuts, and she was one of those.
When things improved, she went back, but was told she could work decent amount of hours, but a fair chunk would have to be"volunteer" work. Weren't prepared to pay her for the hours she put in, so got a job elsewhere.
Hmmmm.
Edit: I don't want my club to be paying down its debt and reporting a $2m profit at the expense of employees. Scummy move.

We aren't a for profit organisation so why are we running like one. Obviously spending needs to be in check, but we're gutting so much lol.

A for profit business making a profit has zero excuse not to pay employees for their time. Either it's worthwhile and necessary work or it isn't.
I'm 100% all for the power in the community work and have zero issue with carbon neutrality etc. But it's all about intention and consistency.
Foodbank and asking employees to work for no pay. Ok mate.
Santos and carbon neutral. Righto.
We've become a brandwashing corporate shell.
There for the bloody joke is David. There for the prestige.

From what my missus heard, the young lass was not an isolated case. Sadly.

If the board fractured and a no confidence motion in Koch was put at board level, and the vote was 6-4, 7-3, 8-2, 9-1 then it would be untenable for Koch to remain as chair and probably also stay on the board.
But I cant see that happening.
Especially when there’s how many Hinkleys on the payroll?
That's possibly one facet of our financial improvement, if we have reinstated previously employed staff as volunteers. Not a winning strategy longer term you'd think.Yes Ben helped me out on a few occasions with membership queries etc.

Once there were a lot, now there are just too many.
36ers
Benny D has managed to absolutely lift the 36ers membership and attendances to the point of sell out crowds with a team who are pretty resoundingly putrid
Sounds like the sort of fella we could use running our membership department

Benny D is just gets it. He's one of us and knows what Port supporters want. From some of his recent tweets, was constantly having to do his job in the face of a club leadership who actively pushed in the wrong directions for our marketing and membership.
Koch not even following Tredrea now on Twitter he probably blocked him
Kochie blocker Tredrea from his socials, what's that tell you about the president

Wouldn’t want to threaten the ol comfty and unaccountable boys club running Port now would you Koch? Koch out, Tredrea in! Tredrea has actually done something for this club and loves it unlike that AFL boot licker Koch
I get the feeling Tredrea might be more vocal this year.
Perhaps we’ll hear more from Treadrea during this season.
