An Open Letter To Stadium Management

Dear Stadium Management,
I quite enjoy attending a number of events hosted by the stadium.  But tonight, I would like to give you a massive f**k you.

During the time when you don't have your heads up your arses, you may have noticed over the past week or so, people have been selling bandannas to raise funds for the child cancer charity, Canteen.  You may also know the fever lubs this charity and have made it an annual tradition to sell, on behalf of canteen, a particular design that includes the Phoenix colours.

So when myself and a fellow fever member walked down the concourse trying to sell said bandanas tonight, were we stopped, and then ordered to discontinue selling because of an order from stadium management.  After I explained the situation, highlighting it was to raise funds for a charity, I was again ordered not to sell to patrons. 

Now sure, I realise you have rules to prevent every man and their dog from selling products on the concourse, and we didn't get prior approval from you to sell them there.  But surely you could have looked deep into your heartless, grey hearts, and turned a blind eye.  Surely it is little skin off your snouty noses.  So f**k you, and go get f**ked.

Yours in angst
2ndBest

P.S. I hope you die from cancer

That is disappointing, but your final line is too low. Wou're trying to fundraise for cancer, you should not wish it apon anyone.

Yea Dale, Agree with the sentiment, but perhaps the last line doesn't need to be there.

Statements like this undermine the entire letter. I agree with you, but don't shoot yourself in the footShowUsYaNix2010-11-04 14:12:44

Did you have any ID on you identifying yourself as an official seller of canteen bandanas?

Wishing cancer upon a group of people for doing their job.

Classy move.

Allegedly

^ This. For all they knew you could be some random spiv in a YF t-shirt knocking out an armful of bandannas and pocketing the cash.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Agreed.

thoroughly commend your fundraising efforts!  well done and 'nuff said on the words etc.

Have you been able to sell through 4K or Bencher on game day?  Or through the Phoenix or RYOS shops?  just a thought.. if I see you, I'll buy some!

Obviously my final comment wasn't serious. It was in jest and in homage of our dearly beloved Parkie (RIP) who told a certain councilor to go and die in as similar open letter rant.

Jag - the bandannas are packed in a Canteen plastic slip with $4 written on the side of it.  Considering Canteen knew exactly how many they handed over to us it would be pretty hard to rip the system.  And anyway, it is not as if they raised it as an issue.
