SPARKS

terry welch · Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:26 pm Post subject: SPARKS STATEMENT

This poll is a simple choice between YES or NO, on the question of whether Sparks should, in the wake of the new DVD release fiasco and the fact it would appear to have been put back yet again to the end of November, make a statement to their loyal fans.

I don't really think they need to make an official announcement.
It would be just nice to have some information from the site now and again.

I think R&R are just as disappointed as we are so I wouldnt need apologises by them

I don't think R & R need to give an official statement really. I know it is disappointing but I am sure there must be a very good and valid reason for the delay. I am sure it is not being done deliberately. It's ready when its ready.

TommyGun...

No one is asking, least of all myself and this poll, for an apology from R&R.
It's about communication. I believe you have may have mis-read the question!

maybe yeah you seemed to be angry on the band(might be the fault of my non-perfect english, sorry)

I was a member in the Damned-board a while ago there was the same problem, a Dvd was about to be released and was delayed again and again.

After a while their drummer posted that the band werent informed about reasons for the delays, they werent even informed that these delayes happened.
Sure a statement like that from the band would be a nice thing but I dont think its neccesary.
That wouldnt shorten the time for us to wait either.

Undecided

A statement would be nice but what point would it serve? Delays seem to be something every band has to deal with. Kosheens tour which should have coincided with the UK-release of the album was on but not the album. Eventhough the new album was available thru Germany!! The album had already been delayed by more than a year

But there is/was an upside: a second UK-tour will start soon, now the album has been released.

As long as something is released i suppose we'll have to wait. I would be something different if stuff was ordered and the release was not happening at all and folks would not get refunds. This does not seem to be the case.

I have voted a big fat NO. As the previous poster says the No votes are so far outweighing the Yes.If this continues to be the case then job done.

210 reads 11 replies, well you can lead a horse to water....., i dont really want a reply from the the boys, but from mr .d , the point im trying to make is/was the official fan club news section need to be more in touch with the fans, r and r i know have nothing to do with delays, but a better form of communication should be used....some news is better than none, even a daft person knows this, unless the are completey stupid !!!!

checking back on old post the dvd was 1st advertised via many .com sources for march then april , may ,june ,july and then oct 1st, to which the goal post is now november 26th,,,,, for 2 months now we have seen the dvd cover artwork by checking all sites... and all this was from .com sources, not the fan club which goes under the title of official, like i said earlier many people do not like to rock the boat, and the purpose of the thread was basically under the thread of communication, which so far only terry welch and 4 other agree, as an official fan club, it would be for the moderators as a polite gesture to bring all fans up to date and even if there is a delay re many reasons (out of the maels hands) share with us news......after all we are supporters of the band.....and have only sparks interest at heart!!!!!!!!.
