Can't criticise the media team for this one. In practice, they could have created some news stories and social posts last night and scheduled them to go live today, but there's nothing they could have posted that wouldn't have just wound people up even more.
Shame for the DSA, though. Did a fantastic job to get the coaches sorted for the rearranged game, and then promptly shoots itself in the foot by getting on its high horse about this.
It is pretty ironic that their statement was also the first thing they'd posted since the end of the game.
Cause it is not their job to post things. They are essentially the fans voice. The fact that people are shitting on a group of volunteers who do more than they should do should probably get of their hairy arses and do it themselves. They are human and fans and are pissed off like a lot of us, but to disrespect them is utter shit and shows how fucking shallow our fan base generally are. But when Lewington's gets closed down so people can't get their overpriced watery piss beer that they so desperately want who is it that they moan to? When you wanted coaches to get to games who is it that you go to? Cop on a bit.
They are not the voice of the fans in any way shape or form. They do not speak for me personally, and I have seldom met anyone who is part of the DSA who gives a flying fuck about what I think or what would benefit me at the club or the people I go with. Not all, but the vast majority of people who have ever been associated with the DSA have done it for their own benefit and to be able to legitimise their one-upping of other fans.
And now, it's worse than it's ever been. Their twitter page at the moment is just a channel for Franco to use to spout his personal views and he uses it like a personal page. The DSA has for the vast majority of the club's history only looked after who it wants to look after. Not to mention he was sat in the terrace whinging about our fans most of the evening as well (because I heard him).
It isn't their job to post on behalf of the club. But there's no reason they couldn't post anything for 20 hours either. They were quick enough to tell us all that the game was off before anyone else knew after all.
WellDon willing Lewington's into existence was just for his own self-aggrandizement then and not because as chairman of the SA at the time, to make the matchday experience better for the fans?
