Title: Statement from Warrior Nation Board of Directors
Post by: royalian on April 12, 2006, 08:59:35 AM

Hello all again:

Due to recent inquiries, it is necessary that this statement is issued. First of all, the fact that 600 tickets are available to WN members and their friends and family, is as a result of exorbitant telephone bills incurred by calling TTFF and their many offices and officers to secure tickets, numerous emails and countless nights of reduced sleep to get a system designed and working - all from volunteer members of the BOD and Regional Reps. It has been our pleasue to serve our members and our love for Trinidad and Tobago football that has made all of this possible.

It has been our aim from day one to see our members benefit in any way possible. Regarding the ticket prices for the Peru game, all tickets are TT$300.00. There however is a processing fee, that covers the charges incurred by the WN to make tickets available to members. As a non-profit org. this is evidently not a money-making venture. Any excess collection, if any, will be applied to one of two things, support items (flags, banners, etc.) or Youth Development. With no sponsors, everything is made possible by member contributions, donations from devoted benfactors and processing fees. To protect our members from losing out on tickets if our organization is seen as the easy way to avoid having to "text and pray", and to keep within the TTFF mandate that our tickets be used for our members and not the general public, we instituted the inclusion of a WN Tshirt for WN friends and family, since we will all be sitting together at the game. Anything less, will severely inconvenience WN members, and erode any benefit to be derived from paid membership. At any rate, WN friends and family are in fact getting the ticket at the same price, and for the extra cost will be provided a WN Tshirt.

Remember, we are just a choice for persons desirous of attending the game against Peru. One can always go with the alternative, submit a text message and if selected, purchase the mandatory four (4) tickets, even if you plan to attend alone.

Unfortunately, the BOD is unable at this time to please everyone, since local Customs and Duties, still charges to bring kits and supplies into the country.

We hope the stance of having paid members benefit from the hard work being done behind the scenes, and not persons wishing to exploit our network, is recognized.

believe it or not, we have paid members complaining that it is unfair that their friends can't pay the same price as they are paying as members.  ??? can't please a trini. I thought that is why people joined, to get exclusive benefits.

So all they have to do is get a jersey?

I would have thought they would have to get full membership.
I guess you'll being diplomatic but people will always try and ask for more.

Look here...we eh want allyuh waggonists friends freeloading.  Make them get full membership cuz it go have plenty more jersey they will have to buy in the future.  And no they cah use old jerseys for the future. (just my opinion...and the jersey they getting should be a lil different...put a lil mark to know is not a member...like a W  :devil:)

Allyuh is trouble  :shameonyou:

But we are a democratic body so Warrior Nation members feel free to express yuhself once yuh eh fall outta line.
I done talk meh talk.

When do the baby tees and kids' jerseys come out?

And what is the cost of extra jerseys for friends (if a member buys 3 tickets, he has to pay for the three Trinidad Peru tickets and two extra jerseys, right?)

Post by: skins on April 12, 2006, 01:11:28 PM

Once question for the Board of Directors.

Since Customs and Duties charge the club to bring kits and supplies into the country, have you all ever thought about getting it made locally. This might work out nice because as bigger the group gets, the more it would cost to bring in items....

Ofcourse.. That was first considered.. However, given the time frame in which Kits had to be accessed, and the quality and standardization considerations, it was in the best interest of the members for the kits to be shipped ASAP to T&T..

Please do not spend any warrior nation money on bringing T shirts into the country.

All we have to do is buy a big grip and pack it up and let a man take it down with him when he heading home.

Let us use cost cutting measures where possible.

I think the WN organisers are simply superb. I'd been having problems signing up, then paying membership and ticket dues, though I'd been a silent online follower since September last year.  Thanks to the WN folks, who gave me extra PMs and emails they sorted it all out. Great site, fun message board, devoted followers... makes being so far from home quite bearable!!!

Post by: weary1969 on April 12, 2006, 10:09:38 PM

All who have a problem with buying the jersey just text your way to the game. You might end up giving TSTT more money and never get a ticket. I am convince that the closest God came to steupsing is when he think about trinis. All you take stupidity to new levels.

Title: Re: Statement from Warrior Nation Board of Directors
Post by: dcs on April 12, 2006, 10:14:18 PM

Ok lemme ask dis cuz I didn't read the details of that text and pray headache.

Is it that you text once and your name is entered or is it that your actual text is entered?  As in the more texts you send the better your chances?  I hope is not the latter cuz that is realllllll madness.

Even if is only one entry per person I done see people going and text plenty more than once.  I suppose the money going to the players?

If that happens, then they would also have to drop the price for us, which means that you will be refunded the difference.
