    Received membership pack...

    Cardboard fixture list.
    5-9 year member pin (even though I am 10 year plus)
    Member cards with wrong seat numbers
    Noticed one of us is paying for two memberships!

    Ah well - luckily the guys at the office are very helpful.

    They tried to charge me for 2 membership as well. Dodgy bros FC over here hoping people don't notice the charge on their card.

    'Good' if you like the idea of the new dude at Fox hating the A-league and desperately trying to dump it.
    Take note of how many studio shows fox will do this year. Word is they are being cut back massively too.

    More likely just a broken system, rather than double charging on purpose.

    Yeah, they have had issues with their payment systems..
    My auto-renewal didn't go through due to getting a new credit/debit card..
    Have been trying for days to pay online with new card, wouldn't happen.. Took forever to get through on the phone, the poor chick is worked off her feet..
    In theory, its all sorted now..

    Advice - go the email route, gives them a bit of space and they usually reply and sort things accurately within a couple of hours. Easier without someone on the phone breathing down their neck.

    Extract from 'Even Heskey Scored' - Emile Heskey's Autobiography: 'It was a humbling experience'

    A bit about his time in Newy and how he ended up here.

    Mr Heskey:

    The club operated with a European coaching set-up, with Gary van Egmond in the head coach role, and a heavy Dutch influence on the coaching style. He was a very good and knowledgeable coach, who I could see would be effective coaching younger players, working on specific technical improvements in their game. I understood what he was trying to do, but some of the players didn’t engage as well as they could have, as he gave a lot of information and detail.
    TLDR: "GVE was too good for the Jets."

    Heskey:
    We played out from the back on every occasion, with the goalkeeper not allowed to kick the ball long. Our centre-backs would spread wide to receive the ball, the fullbacks would push on and midfielders would drop deep. This was all well and good in theory, but we simply didn’t have the standard of players to play this way and as soon as they were put under pressure we would panic and either give the ball away, or boot it clear.
    =GVE was a narcissistic fantasist who really had no idea how to coach a real team... well spotted Emile

    Second year in a row Jets have called off the members' day so they can re-organise it for a less convenient time when no-one will be available to show up, not a good look for the club among their faithful, who organises this shit Jets?

    On a brighter note, there is a bus to sCCuMsford for the chronically lazy who don't want to train it:

    Probably cancelled cos one and only superstar Dimi can't make it.

    How they will fit it in between now and season start next Saturday is anyone's guess.

    So has everyone else got their members tickets yet?

    I don't, but that's because the club hates me.

    Yup, I swapped seats about 2-3 weeks ago as well and received the updated cards at the end of last week.
