Trigg was the kind of operator that wouldn't employ people who could legitimately challenge for his position.

Two articles where David Koch referred to port supporters as customers, and no one cared.

I don't get why people get offended when someone refers you as a "customer".

Just say it on here. If it's that awesome and easy that Port take it on first we'll have these posts as evidence.
For my money, we should pay Memorial Drive & Next Gen to paint their War Memorial Drive facing facades Blue, Red & Yellow

I don't mean to tease, but it's something that will only work for night games and we don't have one till half way through the season, port have 2 before us. It's something that would cost the club probably less than $500 and would make a big impact. We may know where the idea came from, but the wider football public would just say the AFC copied.

It has to do with being called something which while technically correct, does not fully represent ones relationship to another.
Do you buy the afc merchandise they sell?
Not with that bird
If you bought a membership you would of recieved a card , from memory it had the logo on it
Actually in that first article, he was referring to the need of Port to stop treating their supporters like customers, and to actually respect them. Sound familiar?
On another topic, that second article mentions that Port have a former World Anti Doping Agency employee on their board. You would think that she is all over the Essendon scandal, and she would have had a big say about whether or not it was safe to to recruit Ryder
I bought a membership, I didn't buy club merchandise. But this whole customer debate is a big load of wank.If you bought a membership you would of recieved a card , from memory it had the logo on it

He says the previous regime was "a bit disrespectful to customers", he doesn't say anything about not calling them customers, if that was his attitude he would have said "a bit disrespectful to members and supporters"
Deaneus!

Supporters stay even when they hate the product.
Customers are free to shop around. If you think you're just a customer, why don't you try a different company... Like Port?

Never not once ever considered trying Port. Personally though for someone to go from supporting one Club to following another and hating the previous they supported, speaks volumes of the character of that person.
I may get upset and disappointed year after year but it would take something massive for me to stop with the Crows. Given I could never see that realistically happening, the thought of trying Port makes me nauseous to say the least.
Members have a say in how things are run
Members have a sense of ownership
Members can hold employees ultimately to account
Members might not strictly be exactly the same as customers, but who says we're members anyway?
Maybe not for the intitial discussion..........BUT something needs to be said to Fagan about our home jumper. Just saw it being worn in the flesh it is horrid.
It can be understood that the lead time for BLK to get their design is was well before his appointment. However it needs to be changed. The hoops are as far from being hoops as they every have been and for no real reason other than a mistake in the design process (IMO) where BLK have seen the gap caused by previous jumper manufacturers with their mesh down the side.
Would be nice if this can be fixed and the next BLK jumper includes a hoop design.

It's why Afc crowds hardly drop off in tough times compared to....
Having said that we have been taken for granted but it appears that is changing under the new administration, except notso.
