Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2019 I can't imagine it being a problem moving forward. FV will sort it, they will have inherited a million and one things which need sorting. The whole club is on 1 almighty pre-season getting ready to start next season in L2 on an even keel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted October 21, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2019 Got to be said, the club has explained the problem but don't seem to have actually apologised. Appalling really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably couldn't check. I guess they could have checked who had full payments last season - but given the mess.....no guarantees that was an easy task.

It should really have been flagged up by the banks when the payments were applied for last week so there was at least ample time for the club to prepare for what was to come, particularly as I expect most who cancelled their D/D will have done so directly with the bank without necessarily informing the club who would have been none the wiser.

I do think it’s on fans to make sure that they check it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did though G, that's why I'm so pissed off. I did everything reasonable, a day in advance. And still they offered no sympathy or apology until a third of a way through the game.

I rang the club when tickets came out and said need to set up DD up, they said it was ok i then got a letter confirming it was done with a schedule of payments. The ticket worked for Blackpool game. How then the fact the club did not take the payment they had confirmed they were taking is my fault is bizarre logic. The club have cocked up, it is one of those things, they now need to say sorry and explain what people need to do. You saw the size of the queue it was not a few it was hundreds. Your logic is like saying if you are going to forest away without a ticket you should check beforehand if you can pay by card............

Ani Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Casino said: were there any more payments due? just for clarity Pretty sure not. When I got to ticket office Saturday they said only payment was for this year. But that would mean relying on their records which are clearly not great ! As I say the club now needs to let affected know what to do to get payments going again. Edited October 22, 2019 by Ani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems you did your best to get the DD set up, it’s possible the club also did their best and possibly it’s a banking issue, given what you’ve said it would be a good idea for the club to clarify what has happened. I didn’t blame anyone else for Notts Forest not having a credit card facility, clearly my fault for not having the cash, thanks for the cash interest free loan. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were hundreds affected Saturday. Let’s say 250 (I think probably more than that) at £400 per ticket. That is £100k revenue at risk. The club just need to get some info about what happens next. Hoping customers who have been messed about will just sort it themselves is no way to run a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) To be fair. Just got a letter from club. All sorted in 5 minutes on phone. Several hundred were affected. Edited October 22, 2019 by Ani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
