The BFC Survey

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 4:27 pm

This came through on email. They want to get to know the fans it says. The bulk of the questions are about race and gender and whether I still identify as the gender I was born as. There was me thinking it would ask what type of pies I like and what time I set off for a match

i suspect you don't understand the term 'bulk', given it's 5 questions out of 18 that relate to race and gender (i even included the religion one to bump the total up for you).

What were the other questions focused on?

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 4:42 pm

I've snapped my season ticket. They have lost sight of what it is to be a football fan.

Do you leave the game early and if so why?

It's appalling - they said it was the annual supporter survey but there is virtually nothing in there that relates to being a supporter.

I saw the questions, i could see the agenda so didn't bother, they don't want to hear from straight, white males after all.

OK let's split hairs. 18 Questions. 10 are personal info/race/gender/religion. Aside from this it doesn't accept answers on iPhone or let you know until you have filled it all in. In the interests of equality I refrained from answering the first ten questions. After all we are all just supporters aren't we ?

I'm just waiting for a third toilet to appear "Gender Neutral/Trans".... its all getting beyond a joke, and it was never funny to start with

You'll regret that when they replace the bloke's bogs with a prayer room.

Seriously though, where's the problem if people want to have a quick pray at half time?

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 6:08 pm

There is no problem and anyone who thinks there is needs to find an actual reason why they feel that way.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 6:15 pm

I filled mine in, with adding everything that I know would trigger the er, "slightly orthodox" thinking that certain people on this board appear to have.

Now if we all do that.........

How often do they have this annual supporters survey.....

I hope they extend the inerest free deal for season tickets to Twixes.

Q...Would you ever buy a Twix?
A...Touch and go.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 6:29 pm

Isn't touch and go something Jimmy Saville used to do?

I'm sure someone would be offended if you grouped those two groups together. In fact let's do away with the kiosks the queues are that long anyway. Put some vending machines in ( they are faster) and fill the space with lots of toilets covering every single type of social, sexual or or religious group we can think of. I don't know how some people would have coped with the old beehole toilet.

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 7:38 pm

Quite sad that some people would like to see fans prevented from attending The Turf by not providing facilities.

Are you frightened that the Toilet Police might force you to use it at halftime?

Maybe in the '80's; no need now, God does whatever Sean Dyche tells him to do.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:08 pm

I might be mistaken but I don't think you can get a meat pie at Forest Green Rovers but you are well catered for as a Vegetarian. We could do this and take it further and offer non dairy twixes for Vegans. I mean why cater for the masses when it might not appeal to a few.

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:11 pm

It is possible to provide facilities for everyone. You do understand that, don't you?

Because it's a football ground not a Church ?

Is that reason enough ?

Maybe the club could stretch to having a bonsai room for tree worshippers.

As bait goes this is pretty poor. Hope you feel you are capable of better. I have little doubt you feel yourself to be clever.

Blackrod proving yet again to be Burnley's most repressed supporter.

"Do you still identify as the gender which you were born?"
a. Yes
b. No
c. I want to talk to people on the internet about it

Thanks for raising awareness. I've now completed the survey.

The usual dick heads on here making fuss about the demographic questions, now there's a surprise. Club just wants to know their market.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Wed Mar 07, 2018 9:02 am

There've been remarkably less Trannies on the Turf in recent years. I blame the invention of the mobile internet and smart phones. That seems the more modern way of obtaining other results.

The clubs market is only allowed to be straight white alpha males.

Make a lot of presumptions don't you? I'm neither tetchy nor a snowflake. Your joke just wasn't funny. Sorry
