Robben Ford Discussion

[Daved]

Hi, all.
I originally posted this in the thread it relates to, but then decided it is important enough to warrant it's own thread.

Dal (Robben's manager) wrote me today explaining that he has registered on this forum so he can address some of the management issues that affect the fans, but is having problems getting the board to accept his posts (a problem I, too, have been having recently and have just written the good Captain about) and asked that I post the following for him:

==========================
Daved,
I just registred for the forum and still cannot seem to reply to anything.

If you don't mind would you please post a reply for me to the people who are upset about tour dates being posted late.
Please let them know the following:

In the past we used to post dates as we got them in and verbally confirmed them, this was a problem for some because sometimes dates have to change or venues do not want it posted until a certain date among many other reasons.
We just try to keep the whole thing moving along and adjust to the situation.

So now we have a policy of not posting until we have a confirmed contract, this is to avoid people being upset because a posted date is no longer happening due to no fault of Robben.
This type of thiing happens a lot at this level.
There are times when even with a confirmed contract a date needs to move.

As we wait for contracted dates word gets out early and people react to it. This appears to make us look very slow and not concerned.
We only want to transfer confirmed information and do our best.

As for the person who was upset about the UK dates, we are very sorry but we would rather try to give correct information even if it appears a little slower than everyone would like to get it.
The UK and Denmark dates were all confirmed, received and forwarded to the web master the same day you wrote your concerns.

FYI:
We are in the planning stages of a European tour for October 10 -November 21 this is the date range but it is too early to post any thing as it will change up until a few weeks before the tour starts in some cases.

Dal

Daved:

Thanks for passing on the information from Dal. I hope that Cap. Kirk (Dave H.) has seen the message from Dal to address any issues with getting him registered and functional.

OK, now I hope we (the Frenchies) will be on the list for the Autumn tour, if it takes place
