Memo to the RFC players:
I know you were hurting after the game, you let a massive opportunity slip byActually you looked gutted, can understand that
But guess what? So were we the members & supporters. We've been living these disappointments a helluva lot longer than you guys have
So IMVHO to not acknowledge your fans after the game was extremely disappointing!!!
At the very least to not head down towards the cheersquad to acknowledge them and say a bloody big thank you for their support during the season was TBBH was pathetic.
We ride the highs with you & by god we wear the lows too.
Lack of respect & leadership
Think the fans deserved better

Im gonna say something that many of you wont agree with but In my honest opinion and I have had this opinion for the last 20+ years - the players dont give a crap about the supporters. They play footy to make a very good living and give themselves a great lifestyle, there only loyalty is to there mates who are playing in the same team and maybe to their coaches. They dont give a shti about us. They only say the things they say publicly about the supporters because they are asked to do it by the club for marketing reasons. We are only a source of money to them thats it. Ultimately they dont give poo about us.

Would have been nice for the fans to give Tucky a good send off ;D

i agree with ramps the club doesnt seem to care about fans very much.
association football has a better fans-club relationship IMO

they care only as much as they can get as much money out of us as they can. beyond that they dont give a stuff.

I understand what you are saying Ramps and the business person in me probably (begrudgingly) agrees with you
But the footy fan in me doesn't probably more so that to do so would kill off the romantic notion of sport
But for me yesterday after the game it was just a poor message to supporters.
Take away the result and it was simply an amazing day yesterday. The noise, atmosphere, the passion etc generated by Tiger fans was sensational. We deserved something however small in token.
Throw in the sneaky little membership emails during last week with the not acknowledging the fans after the game yesterday and I'd go as far to say from a marketing/PR prespective it hasn't been a great week for the club

Acknowledgement goes along way.

The club can go and get stuffed!!!
