Better they had kept quiet & let the date slip by[/quote]Yes - agree with that analysis. We received two rebate letters for myself and my daughter which I intended to send off, but they soon ended up under a bundle of other stuff, and I only ended up sending the letter last week having a clear-out of my in-tray and finding them when looking for something else.I can’t see how that this plea will make supporters “un-claim” their rebate (for want of a better word), and my view is that it may well prompt more to remember that the deadline is almost upon us.

Jack Flash 17 Posted June 18, 2009 After much souls searching, I have finally decided to leave my rebate alone. And the outcome will be very interesting - almost a referendum on the Clubs position with the supporters. It will be revealing, I feel, to see if this message board truly reflects the feelings and actions of the majority of City fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not going to criticise people if they decided to leave their rebate with the Club, that''s their choice, but wish both sides of the fence would get off their high horses. That particularly applies to those thinking that they are better supporters just because they''ve done one thing or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blofield Canary 12 Posted June 18, 2009 Absolutely right. Fed up with hearing all the individuals telling us they have claimed their rebate. We all make our choice and should respect other points of view on this. At the end of the day the really good thing is that Foulger is giving the club money equal to the unclaimed rebates.

bjg123 0 Posted June 18, 2009 I have no problem with what McNally has said - he''s right, the club could do with the money and if fans are generous enough to not claim it then the club would be very grateful. Makes sense really, he''s not trying to stop people claiming it using underhand tricks, just saying the club could do with every last penny.Foulger on the other hand is a grade A C**T - If he has money to put into the club, and wants to help out the club, he should put it in regardless rather than blackmail people to whom £50 is a lot of money to foresake their rebate. Regardless of what happens I expect Foulger to substancially invest in the club or step down from his position. You can''t say you want to invest in the club, then not do it on the basis that the fans didn''t match your contribution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,220 Posted June 18, 2009 Balham Yellow - You need to look at the bigger picture mate. If we do not get out of League One it will not be because fans took their rebate. Ask yourself this, why is Foulger only "match funding"?, we are constantly being told that the Directors are fans just like us, we are constantly being told that the club is on the look out for new investment, well here we have a Director who has £1M to invest (if you believe the figures bandied around in the press), so why not invest it in players, no strings attached?I will go further and say I do not believe the figures being bandied around, they are only accurate if you can demonstrate that all 18,200 ST renewals would have renewed if the rebate was not on offer.So being less gullible than yourself i can see this stunt for what it is.

I''m tired of it.Let me help you out here:The club have acted like a lottery player who promises to lavish money on his friends should he win, then rescinds that offer when he does. "Oh - that - well, we didnt really think it would come true, did we?" In other words, the "offer" was infact nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy to sustain our investment across another dreadful season.
