Title: Nice gesture regarding streaming
Post by: Freddie on March 05, 2021, 11:55:29 AM
There were plenty of angry comments on here the other night about the streaming quality, and rightly so.

Last night however, I received an email entitling me to a discount on our next stream, and I would like to say that I think this is a great gesture from the club when trying to make amends for those issues - it shows that the club recognises and is addressing the problem.

It can't just be me who received it, so if not: check your emails! : )

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, I haven't seen it on any other thread.

Yet another good reason to be an Alty fan (if one were needed!)

It is a nice gesture. If you open the email properly you can see that it has been sent to everyone who bought the stream.

Lovely gesture by the club.

Apart from the love of the club we should also remember we had half price streaming for our 2nd game at FCUM v Bromley so we have already had our discount.

I know so many fans will not be wanting the discount nonetheless

No mention of any 'gesture' for those of us who are season ticket holders though....

Don't worry. We'll get first crack at the stand seats when speccies are allowed back into ML! 😉

PS. Hopefully 🤞

I did wonder about that but decided to refrain from comment. I was just glad we had won and would gladly have traded the missed 20 minutes for a win after 5 defeats on the bounce. I will gladly take that, and the team seem to have their mojo back, bet they are wishing they could play today, but Tuesdays game may be a Stelling wind-up hopefully! Wondered if he was doing Sky Sports news that day.

As someone who hasn't received any such email, may I ask what discount the club have offered in relation to the impending Hartlepool fixture? Half price, perhaps?
Title: Re: Nice gesture regarding streaming

Yes, it is a five pound discount, so essentially half price.

Many thanks for that clarification.

I have written to Bill Waterson in order to elicit his thoughts on any potential compensatory measure being extended to season ticket holders.

If its the Astra Zenica one it made me feel rough for 48 hours must have been made by a Macc fan :)

Might be worse than that....
If it had been made by a Macc fan, then it probably won't work 🙄

Both myself and my ex's boyfriend were asked if we were pregnant!

Is that a question they have to ask or just because we are both fat b@stards?

I am hoping to get something out this evening but I have been laid low the last couple of days after receiving my vaccine.

Same happened to me.  Had my AZ jab the Saturday before last.  Within an hour I sensed that I was having a reaction, and for the next few days I had bouts of dizziness, could feel my heart racing, had sweats and some aches and pains.  None of the symptoms lasted more than a few minutes and they lessened as the days passed, but it was Thursday before I was feeling back to normal.  Incidentally, my brother-in-law (who was until recently Professor of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at L'pool Uni, and understands this) tells me that there is some data to show that the AZ vaccine is more likely to give side-effects compared to the Pfizer.  On the plus side, he said that there is also some research presenting that suggests that people who suffer a reaction to the vaccine are more likely to have come into contact with the virus already (but been asymptomatic) and developed antibodies.

Not posting this to get into a debate, I fully support having the vaccine.

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Bill.

The AZ vaccine is made in Liverpool according to the data sheet I was given.

I decided to spend my refund on programmes for the next two games. I wouldn't normally buy them so I think we'll be all square as a result
