Andy Roeser... Stand Up Guy!

and I’ve heard from a few other Clipper fans I know across the internet that Roeser is pretty stand up in terms of returning their messages. However, in my opinion, it doesn’t change that he’s played a part in this franchise’s futility.

Now try this with all other FOs in the league and see who responds…

I posted several weeks ago, that i have had several conversations with Mr. Roeser, if you e-mail him, he will respond to your e-mail and in my case on several occassions,he has asked me to call him, and left his number, and when he wasn’t in and i left my number, he returned my call, the guy will not run from the fans, he will contact you and treat you like he’s known you for years. I’ve had respect for the guy from the first time I wrote a nasty letter to him,and he asked me to call him,so we can discuss my issues. I posted his e-mail address and phone number several weeks ago,and i agree the press and non-Clipper fans look for someone or something to tear down,and they make the Clippers their focal point. I heard John Ireland last week on the radio,and this guy was talking about the Clippers,and for someone to have a radio show,it would appear they would have thier facts straight, and would have done some research,but he spent the entire time bad mouthing the Clippers and players. Blake Griffin is not a real power foward,we’ve never seen him play, he played in one pre-season game last year before he got injured, he’s not big enough to guard real power fowards in the league,he can’t play on the box and take other power fowards down low, and it went on and on,they need to trade for someone who can put folks in the seats,this guy actually said that he doesn’t know how the Clippers survive in L.A. when they are barely drawing 8 thousand fans a night,,as i said they have idiots in this town who make their living bashing the Clippers,but as a Clipper fan, we all know better.

Last year I wrote a letter to him after the loss to Portland where the Blazers were missing half of the team. He was on vacation, but called me a few days later when he got back. I spent about 10 minutes on the phone with him. He then called me about a month later to see how things were going.

I was very impressed with him taking the time to call me, but was still frustrated with how bad the team looked.

I’d rather him not call and the team just play hard.

my season seats out from under me. I called and asked “when do I renew?” and was told, too late, they already sold my seats.

I e-mailed just about the entire organization, from Sterling on down, I was pissed – and I received no response from anyone. No apologies, nothing. I did however get a new rep. who called and tried to get me the best seats possible.

The best seats avail. were about six rows further back – I was never able to move up to where my original seats were.

I have no idea why they are being responsive now. Maybe they feel they need all the fans they can get.

that knows about basketball.

I’m supries that he actually returns calls from fans. It shows that he cares but more important, it shows that he’s listening to what the fans have to say.

Here we are, lots of people expressing our thoughts on this blog all believing that we know best and then we should be very happy that the people running the franchise wants to listen to what we have to say.

I can’t understand how anybody can turn this into a negative.

I want to send him an email saying please don’t trade Blake or Eric I think they can be absolutely awesome together

Please post his email address & phone number as I want to put him to the ultime test.

Will he call Australia????

I also aired a grievance with him a few years ago and he resolved it completely in my favor. He in fact changed some fo their invoicing practices at my request.

Well he emailed me back within 24Hrs answering a few of the questions I had. I have a new found respect for him (not that I didn’t respect him previously).

I wonder how many other Presidents would email back fans.

Next step – I will call him for a chat !
