All in all it was a call making sure I was keeping safe and healthy and to expect another call at the end of the month. They haven't called me.

tarapoa Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I got that call. They didn't really need to at all as I will unconditionally buy a season ticket and DNA premium - and still await a new share issue (as I'm jealous of some of my older mates who had money in 90s to buy previously). However, it is really good they do that - and shows that the right kind of fan engagement culture is permeating through the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was surprised to get the call when it was only giving info but was definitely appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Now that maybe makes the rumours a bit more realistic. tough one for celtic to make a call on that with no director of football or manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some promise about receiving 'full value' whatever that means there was an option to get a refund/discount on the missed games from 2019/20 season. so that was an optional part discount 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Aberdeen are calling season ticket holders and having a dig at Rangers for offering an incentive to renew last season when they offered none themselves?

Aberdeen have not decided on theirs yet but think it's a bit shitty of Rangers to offer a blanket "take it or leave it £20 club shop voucher". It's cute to see roaming the threads to jump in to Rangers defence as usual though. That's why I made sure to post it.

coprolite Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 If the club thinks that it is appropriate to have baseless unjustified digs at Rangers and Celtic just for the sake of it then they have my full support. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) God forbid if a club employee did make a harmless joke though eh? Clearly the SFA/SPFL must look into this and sanctions be imposed! Edited April 8, 2021 by Rodhull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all it was a call making sure I was keeping safe and healthy and to expect another call at the end of the month. That sounds like great customer service, and look forward to my call, hopefully. The club has phoned my five times since last March, and only one could be classed as a sales call. And even that was offering me a much reduced AberDNA monthly payment as I had already renewed my season ticket and had bought the new strip. Certainly going to renew my season ticket again no matter what and keeping the AberDNA at the full price this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
