Phoned the office today to ask whether Apple users would be able to renew online by the 15th. I was told that we wouldn't. I asked how, under the circumstances, I could renew without paying a £10 penalty. The answer was 'Go to the library'.
So the choice was to renew over the phone and pay £10 or haul my two kids off to a library at some point over the weekend and use a public internet link and a ticketing system which I am unconvinced is secure and may not work anyway (I won't go into the nonsense of expecting me to give email addresses for my young boys). I may by then, of course, lose my seats.
I renewed our three seats over the phone. It took about a minute. I handed over £368 and got no thanks. A shocking way to treat a loyal customer.
As I have said before, I love the Jags. I am, however, not a supporter of the business that is Partick Thistle Football Club. It is appallingly run. I have no faith in their ability to increase the fan base and lead the club forwards. I will be surprised if season ticket sales exceed last season. Off the park we are going nowhere. As a Jags fan, I write this with a heavy heart.
