Saint George Posted 6 June, 2013 Share Posted 6 June, 2013 So lemme get this straight......Within a week, the mongboard resident 'No life misfit' has gone from reveling in the glory days of tough hardman soccerball violence with post's that are concluded like.......... "It's difficult to believe that as a city and club we could have gone from being the most terrifying away day in England to a stadium with dancing dogs and fancy dress. Some might call that progress but I wouldn't be so quick to agree. I for one am proud of my Southampton brothers at the reputation we had in a very different time and era." To a limpwristed bedwetting, handwringer .....Sobbing his eyes out because the club made an honest mistake that was rectified within 24 hours? "Disgusted"...bwaaaa.....

BlakeySFC Posted 6 June, 2013 Share Posted 6 June, 2013 Ok just to clear this up and put it to bed once and for all. It was me that enquired by email about Turks and my fathers disabled season ticket. His circumstances had change he was getting attendance allowance but because of his health declining he had to move into a care home. I asked by email that because he no longer gets any of the benefits listed in the clubs policy for disabled season tickets what documentation do I need to provide for him to renew for this season. I got a standard reply of if he doesn't get any of the benefits then he will have to pay the full price for him and his carer. I emailed SDSA and they agreed with the club. So I emailed the club again more fully expressed my displeasure and hoped that we could work together to sort the situation out etc etc. Then this morning the ticket office phoned we had a short discussion and the situation was cleared up. Looking back I think that maybe I should have phoned the ticket office and discussed the situation in a more personal way then by email. But I must say that apart from this occasion the club has been 1st class in the way they have treated my father and my mother before at St Marys. When my mother was being treated for cancer and had to leave her seat because it was to cold or to hot in the sun and she took shelter under the stand the stewards always asked if she was ok. the same with my father and to answer a question posted earlier someone else couldn't go in his place because the stewards show a personal interest in him and ask my sister is he ok when he is not there. The Stewards do get slated at time's but I must say they have been outstanding in the help they given us in regard to my father. before he was in a wheelchair we would drop him off right outside the ground but at one game he couldn't manage to walk into the ground to his seat so one steward was sent off to get him a wheelchair and another got him a chair to sit on, told us to go on in to the ground so we don't miss any of the game and that they would bring him in when the wheelchair arrives. which they did, and had a wheelchair waiting for him for the rest of the season. So I think from a lack of communication a bit of a storm has blown up, but all parties have come together and it is now sorted. So Blimey, all this hullabaloo was purely over an e-mail reply from the club, jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Saints is one of the few constants in his very troubled existence, and something that brings a certain and welcome 'normality' to our relationship. The fact that Saints offer concessions to 'disabled' customers (many of whom don't work, can't work, and despite tabloid headlines live on very limited benefits) should be a cause of pride, of the club doing 'the right thing', to all fans. Anybody that thinks concessions for disabled fans are 'an entitlement program (sic)' is living in the dark ages.

But it is all to do with prospective as to how you react to different situations. From the outside as you said a balanced person would discreetly and privately deal with the club. That is what happened, I sent three emails had two email replies and a phone call from the club, we discussed my 3rd email that contained more detail of my fathers situation and the matter was settled. If the issue being in the public domain had anything to do with it I don't know. As for screaming from the rooftops, wailing and gnashing of teeth or posting your displeasure on a forum on something that has an big impact on you and your family, being viewed as totally disgusting and disgraceful behaviour all depends on your prospective. When for as far back as you can remember you and your family always went to watch the saints play, you can remember walking down to the dell with your dad as a small boy, stopping in the shop to get sweets. Then when you were older getting the bus to town meeting your dad at the lord Louis pub by the bus station and going on to the dell. Getting chips up in Bedford place before getting the bus home. Standing outside the dell all night with your dad waiting to get your tickets for the league cup final in 1979. Enjoy the early 80s remembering golac his favourite player. Then in their retirement both my parents Enjoying the new ground how they could sit and enjoy SMS together, unit my mothers death in 2008. How we convinced my dad to continue go to watch the saints, because he didn't want to without her. Then over the last five years watching his health decline, seeing that he was being to struggle, not understanding why he was looking after himself as he once did. He stopped going out, slowly began to lose his mobility would have falls more and more regularly, ended up in hospital more once. How just taking him out became a real performance just getting form his flat to the car. but the one constant in all of this was that we always took him to St Marys no matter what. Yes it is hard getting him there, physically lifting him in and out of the car. But it is worth it because it is where he wasn't to be watching the saints.. So yes it my be a bit of an overreaction but it depends on perspective, and human compassion and fellow feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Saints as a club are regarded as one of the best around with regards to disabled facilities etc. I don't think there was any admission by the applicant that they didn't qualify by the rules, they were however unable to prove they qualified by the method they'd used previously, which was no longer applicable, but common sense (a change of address to care home and, unfortunately, the nature of the condition itself) should have shown they were still eligible and that should have been part of the initial response from the club. If the club had maintained their "computer says no" attitude as originally displayed, they'd have been subject to even more criticism, but they still deserve a little of the displeasure at the intransigence initially on display. Hopefully they'll have learned from it though. And much as the home facilities are good, the oversight on selling disabled tickets online for away matches - when the customer is already listed as disabled on the database - is still far from acceptable, and unaddressed.

Yeah, sure he could have not said anything, and probably wouldn't have if he'd known it was getting resolved via another method. But at the time the criticism was justified. Fortunately, and I have to say for me a little unexpectedly, the club did the right thing and acknowledged that there was a legitimate case here.

Turkish Posted 7 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 June, 2013 (edited) Ok in hindsight maybe I did over react a little, if posting something on an Internet forum is an overreaction but thats another story. it was an emotive reaction to what I saw at the time as the club making life unnessasairly difficult. End of the day my dad is a big reason why I'm a saints fan and Saints are a huge part of my life. My brother summed it all up pretty well in his last post and although some of the stuff he talked about was before I was born, I'll never forget my dad taking me to my first game v Everton in 1985. Maybe now he has little quality of life I'm a little bit sensitive and over protective, which has other had suggested is perfectly normal given his condition and quality of life he now has. For those that have had a pop at me on this thread I hope you never have to watch not one but both your parents slowly deteriorate in front of your eyes, maybe if you did you might get it. End of the day it's sorted, the club reacted to whatever it was that spurred them to change their minds and come out of it well. It's win win result. My dad gets his season ticket, the club looks good.

Saint_clark Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Seems to me like there's overreactions all round. Sounds like the original email to the club was poorly worded (saying someone no longer receives their benefits will obviously raise a red flag), and the club sorted it as soon as the full picture was presented. So Turkish slightly overreacted to a misunderstanding of a poor choice of words, and everyone else has overreacted at his overreaction. And even now I'm overreacting by reading this much into it.

stug76 Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 I think you need to also separate the two things Stug and get over you obsession with me. Read the whole thread and see my comments if you think I was relishing the situation or if I was enjoying having a go at the club. In fact you'll find on numerous occasions since yesterday morning I praised the club, don't let that stop you though you weird obsessed freak. :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano6 Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 So did we ever get to find out Turkish's real name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 7 June, 2013 Share Posted 7 June, 2013 I think you have to separate out the two events, it's obviously a great thing that Turkish' dad can get to St Mary's and the club seem to have acted, given the chance, as you would expect in this respect. However, plastering the story over social media, bad mouthing the club before it had been properly discussed, is a pretty **** thing to do. Almost if somebody was relishing the situation to try and make a point? Why are you so obsessed with Turkish's posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 7 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 June, 2013 Why are you so obsessed with Turkish's posts? I had a little look at his profile earlier and every post he's made since the 27th of may have been about Me, odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 8 June, 2013 Share Posted 8 June, 2013 I'll never forget my dad taking me to my first game v Everton in 1985. Turkish best wishes to you and your family, my father died last year after suffering the awful disease for 12 years, he had Parkinson's and DLB. One of the things we had together was football (he was as Plymouth fan) and I still think of all the games we went to, the special ones big and small. The 85 cup run was great, I would listen to the draw at school and he at work and each round we were hoping we would draw each other, but it didn't happen, we both got through to the semis and both got beaten. I know a few posters on here have been through the same. I will end this post with a slightly funny story. When my dad was still driving we went down to Plymouth to the match, it was a hair raising journey as he really should not have been driving. It was August time so the roads were packed and my Dad was getting more and more agitated as the clock ticked closer to three. We got to just outside Home Park and were hit with other jam, we then heard the cheer as the teams ran out and my Dad went mad, he screamed turned the wheel to the pavement, floored the car and dumped it on the side. We went and watched a good game, when we came out we noticed that he had parked the car in a flower bed half destroying a big bush and it had police tape around it and was being guarded by two coppers. My dad told me to wait on the corner, I watched as he walked towards the car more slowly than usual with his stick, he then showed the police his Parkinson's card. The police pulled back the tape, helped him in to the car and stopped the traffic whilst guiding him back on to the road, they then waved him off. That was his last trip to Home Park, I tried to get him down there for his 'last game' but he had lost his bottle, his last game had been and gone and we didn't know it. I went down there the other year for the fans reunited game in my Saints shirt and an old bloke came up to me and thanked me for coming, I'm not ashamed to say I just stood there and burst into tears, he must have thought I was a nutter.
