1. People are having trouble using the online ticketing site, not everybody and certainly not myself but enough people to make it an issue. Why don't the club put out a guide to using the site, would solve most if not all the ticketing problems.
2. The movement of the north stand season ticket holders, which I am one of, was handled appallingly. All the club had to do was apologise but this still has not happened. I am now happy with my new seat but I had to do all the leg work to sort this, as did others in the same situation.
3. The disabled parking issue. I have not read in to this fully but it seems that the club need to apologise again and meet with the fans involved.
4. Similar to the North Stand issue, the barriers in 1901 and Upper West stands, again no real explanation from the club. I know this issue is getting sorted but again no explanation of what is going on.
Basically all this stuff boils down to public relations. Who is in charge of the club's public relations? All these problems would be solved if there was someone to speak to or some clear procedure for complaints to be dealt with at the club.
Precisely. The communications from the club these last few weeks have ranged from weak to appalling to non-existent, hardly an explanation about anything, save for the travel guide a week or so ago, its the complete silence from the official site from the matters above, especially the online ticket buying, the barriers and seat movers that have caused a lot of complaints, not forgetting the hiccups on the first match with turnstiles not opening til 1.30 in the pouring rain, caterers who couldnt cater etc. For that the club is guilty and painfully its nothing new, it has been a problem since the goldstone days, how the club communicates and how it merchandises itself has intermittently fallen short.
Martin Perry may dislike NSC with a passion, with some justification maybe about factual inaccuracies and serial moaners, but it is a sullible fact we the fans have no other outlet than NSC to find out whats going on at times and this shouldnt be the case.
For all that, last nights forum was embarrassing to listen to, because there was too many moaners/uber fans, who were too aggressive and too ungrateful, spouting too much of the above that could have been left for a different time. Opportunities to speak to our main men are too few to spend bickering about the above, however justified these complaints may or may not be.

Now that Uncle Dick appears to have been sidelined by the club, there appears to be a new breed emerging. They are the Perry Lickers. 
What nonsense. Indeed some of our fans are an embarrassment. Any club with over 20,000 fans is going to have a complete mix of supporters from every section of society. What's that got to do with NSC? NSC is just a message board, there will always be good and bad posted here. As for Naylor's rant in the Argus - what a prat. He comes back from holiday and without checking his facts starts publishing nonsense about transfers. Some more informed individuals that post on NSC made him look silly, and he's bitter. NSC is also competition for his paper, given that we can often find more up to date information here, for free, than by paying for his paper, so it's no wonder he doesn't like NSC.
It really was lol, and it lasted 5 minutes untill someone hit it into the training goal. We sang 2-1 I think then a Huddersfield fan tock it home haha

the number of misplaced apostrophes' in this thread is making me very mad

I am afraid that the standard of grammer (and spelling !) of most poster's on here is atrocious!

When would you suggest that complaints are put to the club when emails are ignored?

i think you will find it need's tweaking
I think you'll find it doesn't need an apostrophe
Perhaps in hindsight they could have asked for questions from those attending BEFORE the actual event so they would have been a little more informed of the questions. A bit like on BBC Question Time where they already know the (majority) of questions and who is going to ask them. Might sound daft but that is forward planning and makes sure you don't have any very awkward questions going out live on air. I'm not saying those questions shouldn't have been asked, perhaps they could have been a little more "managed"? Afterall we are all now talking about the fans forum for the wrong reasons when it should have been a great piece of marketing for the club.

And, indeed, your posts are always interesting if a little cryptic some times. You are a core NSC'er

Bollocks it has lost any sort of credibility.
I haven't been around forever, but NSC would appear to pride itself in shoutiing down those that do not have a valid point. It has members from all spectrums of society.
To be frank, Perry seems to be going overboard with his dislike and criticism of NSC. When the planning application was seemingly floundering, which was the best medium that made things happen? No, not the shoddy offical site, NSC.
It is not very good (or is it?) politics to try and bury problems with the stadium by merely stating that we are lucky to have a grand arena and we shouldn't moan about parking or ticketing. If he really felt that way, why do we still have ATC and why was NSC the first stop for travel questions.
To be honest, MP has gone down in my estimations for his, seemingly, aggressive attack on us. He is an employee of the club. He will probably move on eventually. I don't imagine he is the sort of person that used to sneak out of dinners to find out the Brighton score (when smartphones were a mere dream).
We might be a collective of football fans, but we don't all share the same opinion. Unsubstational moans get shot down. Realistic moans get discussed.
I'd like to see how MP would have coped without the supprt of NSC. Would his (or someone elses) We Want Falmer have had such an effect without NSC?
There are some people on here that worked tirelessly, for free, to enable us to build our stadium. I assume Perry worked out of the goodness of his heart. Let him build his academy and then move on to pastures new.
