AISA WTF IS GOING ON AND DO WE ACTUALLY CARE

Post by Herd »

Whilst joining this crew more to keep an eye on them than wishing they would do anything for me , I have long wondered WTF do they actually do for my membership money.
The Answer has usually been for me not a lot but this season they have surpassed themselves in keeping the members in the dark.

The once weekly e-mail that touted those cuntz on the away ticket scheme who used the site to sell their unwanted tickets to Blackburn or Stoke whilst cherry picking the good ones so that none of us can get away breifs except by paying through the nose for them finished some time ago and yesterday they sent out a letter saying that because of 1 person quitting their whole activity has ground to a halt.

The only thing I ever knew them to do was twice yearly go to the management and brush shoulders with whatever shyster of the month was in charge of fobbing the fans off,and report back that they had met with them.

Oh yes they organised a few wDinners (more cash )

Serious Fan issues like poor standards of policing,food,merchandise etc were always swept under the carpet .

My question to all of you is What did AISA ever do for your money and is it worth them continuing.? ? ? ? ? ?

Im genuinely interested,I'm not against them but I've always never known what they do.

I asked this question before and got no answer. And the fact is people continue to badmouth Redaction when they are just an atmosphere group and get a hell of alot more done than AISA.

AISA should be the ones dealing with problems with ticket prices, food, police at games etc. But they just hide under the emails and nothing gets done just fancy annual dinners... :roll:

weird one this...had the same email off them. why didnt they just put a small message on their website a few months ago to let their members know instead of leaving us in the dark? their sites been updated like normal all season. always got the impression from them they thought they were above normal gooners and thats when they were fully running!

I got a few home tickets from them a couple of seasons back.

They were always quite helpful to me.

Mr 666 I agree ive managed to get a few off them myself and its been a massive help. One person did that his name was Paul M. and I have to say I always found him OK .
However that isnt or should not be their raison d'etre,ticket facillitators !

Again I've no hatchet to bury Im just curious of others perceptions and experiences !

Good question, I've also met Paul Matz, a nice guy, but AISA what do they do? Hmmm.... I've been a member now for several years, and I agree, they should be more pro-active than they are, especially with issues regarding the shareholding. I also agree they should be querying the merchandising and catering issues (price, etc) at the stadium.

Wasn't there a time when they said they were going to get a share for the members, several seasons back?
