dobxal Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Someone I know on Facebook has put on that there was 70 booked in to new function suite tomorrow night and they have had a phone call tonight to say it's been cancelled. This club and its situation is getting worse by the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonLatics Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Are you surprised by this? It's clear to everyone that the stands not finished... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's clear to everybody that the management of the build and the timing of the fitting out has been terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We need new owners along with a complete board clear out ..........this lot couldn't manage a piss up in a :censored:in brewery!!! Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy or The Marx Bros couldn't have done any worse, the untold damage caused by all this will not become apparent until ST time next May. I thought we had employed an events manager to promote the facility and attract new business.....what a diamond geezer he must be.....wouldn't be surprised to see a resignation shortly.....whether it's his fault or not he must be mightily pissed off. Just think that the same board are running our football club.....it's no wonder we are in such a mess!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsrblue Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't think we can blame this particular cock up on Corney or the board, at a guess I'd say it was down to either the Events Manager, Rob Smyth or Commercial Director Mark Moisley.

Lee Sinnott Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Are we sure this was the case? Came back from a meal about 8.30 last night and the lights were on in one of the conference rooms and it looked like there was an event going on...

Probably nothing to do with the stand being unfinished... Probably double booked! Wouldn't put it past this lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_blue Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Not sure this is true....a friend of mine is heading to the club now to help set up for an event tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetramfixer Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I walked the dog past there last night and there was definitely something going on .. lots of people arriving and a number of ladies in posh frocks .. maybe a double booking ? Isn't there 2 function rooms .. so maybe 1 finished, 1 not finished, so unfortunately they have been cancelled??

Hands on Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The thing that confuses me is that if they have finished the function room why have they not shouted this from the roof tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Definitely true I'm afraid. Got a text about 9pm yesterday. We were having our Xmas party there tonight. No idea who or what is to blame but bad news all round. Heard a party last night was stopped in full flow? We've been offered a free party later on this month or in Jan if we want.

So the 24/7 income from the North Stand which is predicted to cover the losses of OAFC Ltd is already being discounted to freebies. Quite honestly you couldnt make it up to be this incompetent could you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yea will be a double hitter as we will still be paying people appointed to run/organise events that were appointed...be lucky to be straight for the start of next season at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Absolutely dreading next Friday now when ours in in there. The bosses sister in law was there last night...or shall I say wasn't as they were alledgedly turn away at the door, ended up in Indish instead. Could this get any worse for our event centre.

yarddog73 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Someones probably fell down a lift shaft or something, clubs run by amateurs from top to bottom, the repercussions from this and the long term effect on the buisness are the more worrying aspects of this whole sorry mess, why dont they invite the disappointed guests to the club pantomime on the other side of the ground it normally starts at 9am on a Monday morning.

singe Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 LEaving it this late, and a dififcult opportunity to book another event so close to Christmas is appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
