It's best to fight for things in life. 30 minutes ago, home and away 1988-2000 said: however it's best to just leave the admin team to sort things out, they know what there doing and have never let us down before! Although I have every faith in this website, I can't imagine BTTB alone has the bargaining power to get Network 7 to keep the repeats on the air. Therefore please sign the petition. Doing something proactive is certainly better than not trying. Shannon Found Skeletons may not have gone the right way about it but we must stick together and try and keep the show on air.

Not going to respond to the Manchester comment, disgusting to even bring that into a discussion about a TV show. Skylover did a great job setting up that petition. I hope people will sign it and will also contact the Network on their own as well. Good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 What ways are there to bring more exposure to the petition? I've already shared it on a number of forums, Facebook & Twitter? ETA: It's not getting much support, I hope people do sign it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, we can't rely on BTTB alone, they don't have the bargaining power at all. I hope they do too! Other ways to bring exposure? Hm.... you could request some of the H&A cast retweet. Not sure they would, but worth a try. If they did, the message would get out to a lot of H&A viewers. I'll have a think, do some mind mapping and see what I can come up with. It's awesome you are doing this hard work Skylover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yeah I tried tweeting some H&A stars but no response. Maybe you could try on your Twitter account? Still trying to think of more we could do. ETA: I think a letter is the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Found Skeletons Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yep, I agree. It's a shame they make it so difficult to be contacted by email, but this is obviously the reason why. TV companies don't like receiving negative feedback on things like this, as it all goes into their annual performance review and negative vs positive viewer satisfaction ratio. A lot of people who would otherwise get in touch by email won't bother writing a letter instead, and they know this. This is something else I learned in my job that I didn't really do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost two people that I knew in it, I'm starting to get my head round it now though. I just think life is too short and as much as I love Home and Away what with 1996 happening to be my all time favourite year ever, I just don't think it's as important!

I agree, life is too short not to fight for things you care about. There's always 'what if'. 1996 is your favourite year. I haven't even had the chance to watch 1996. I'm hoping people, whether they believe in it or not, will sign the petition/contact 7 at least in support of the other members on here. I'm sorry to hear about your losses in the attack. Will never understand such acts of cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're entitled to that opinion but it doesn't mean you have the right to tell others not to talk about something. Obviously everything in life is on a scale somewhere between not remotely important to extremely important/vital. Doesn't mean we can't be passionate about things because other unrelated things are higher on that scale. Sorry to hear you lost people. Must be really hard. I have lost people in other circumstances (who hasn't?), but not like that. But I'd never use it an excuse to make people feel bad for talking about unrelated things. Hope you manage to cope a little better each day. Step by step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 It's important for us all to be united as H&A fans, they could bring the show back. We just have to fight for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
