I’ve been waiting, a little bit impatiently, and with increasing frustration, for the club - or AFL - to announce some form of compensation for members, or at least acknowledge that they are obliged to do something, but, instead, I get Dale telling me how marvellous I am and how the club values my support. That’s Dale-doublespeak for something like this:
“Thanks, we’ve got your money and we’re going to keep it because our players absolutely need to be paid a quarter million dollars a year to bugger about at home while everyone else (including non-playing staff) are relying on government handouts”
So, in plain language, my message to Dale Alcock and the rest of the AFL is bugger off, because I won’t be a member / seat renter anymore. You’re not worth my time or interest.
