Just had an e mail fan survey from the Steelers. They want to know what car I have and am I planning to buy another , if so new or leased. Whats that got to do with the Steelers ? ( I can guess ).

I got that. It's not about Steelers or Ice Hockey its about Motorpoint and how they can incentivise fans to buy from them.

I wouldn't be surprised if other clubs have had something similar as the said company are league sponsors.

I was disappointed with this as it was a misrepresentation. The introduction led you to believe you were being asked about the Steelers or Ice Hockey and it was nothing of the sort.

I think Mr Smith should give his head a wobble if he thinks this is fair use of the email addresses we give the club in good faith.

Thought it might be a chance to air my views on the new Season Ticket “ lounge”, but no, its about moneytising.

I was actually ready to let rip on a whole host of issues if they arose... Thankfully (probably) it wasn't a Steelers.org customer satisfaction Survey.. it was nothing more than a Clickbait Slugging Survey...

I dont recall giving my permission for Spamming emails to be sent to me personally direct from the sheffieldsteelers.co.uk email account... :evil:

Pretty sure the club needs your explicit consent to send marketing emails like this under GDPR regs.

I presume consent will be buried somewhere in the T's & C's for signing up to the Steelers Hub/Ticketmaster/Arena or some other system allowing them to use those details for marketing purposes, hardly anyone reads those thoroughly.

Under GDPR / DPA2018 you always have the right to opt out of that sort of stuff at any time though.

I dont have the disposable income to buy a car from them or anyone else anyway... :sad:
