Dear Carlton Football Players and Facility.
this year we are celebrating our 150th year and you have chosen the hashatag to be #UNITED! WHY? Today at the Gabba, local support and cheersquad members who have made their way up to support you this weekend, atteneded a light training session. the fans (approx 20-30) were given a particular seating/viewing area where you trained right in front of. at the end you walk straight off, no thank yous, no waves or thumbs up NOTHING...THIS IS WHY MEMBERSHIPS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE. no love for the fans. YOU TRAINED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US it would of taken 10 minute to sign the young kids jumpers and get a photo with your supporters, not to forget thanking cheersquad members for traveling all this way just to support you as well as provide a banner!! Yall need to take into consideration the fans as without youd have no careers or club!!!!!! #UNITED #takealonghardlookatyourselves
I reckon this is a beat up!
Would the players be informed that "approx. 20-30" supporters are sitting in a particular area and should be acknowledged at the end of training? I think not.
I would have been happy just to have a seat from which to watch training. Being a supporter is about supporting your team, not being pandered to by players whose focus should be on preparing for their next game.
