Trigg has tried to mend that bridge but the only way back is to be successful and win games.....too many of the old punters remember the clubs love for Corporates, Pokie kings and cardboard entrepreneurs...and the disdain of man in the street members who were treated with contempt by the likes of Elliott etc...
Pies and Dons have always encouraged the working man to the club and never turned them away and thats why even in bad times they stick fat...
people also make excuses when things arnt going well. not being or ever likely to be a corporate member i dont expect he same level of treatment that corporates receive. during my many years of membership i have never felt the clubs disdain of my involvement - but then i knew exactly what i was buying and did not expect more. to many are dishonest and will make up a reason for not supporting without honestly saying they are fair weather supporters or tightarses.
