The Parramatta Eels are under fire again for lack of fan interaction. A member, Matt Butcher from Griffith and his eight-year-old daughter Ella made the seven-hour trip on Saturday for the Cowboys game. Petrol, accommodation, tickets and meals set them back $800.
The member sent me an email last week which I passed onto the club. All they wanted was an opportunity for a couple of autographs and selfies.
I forwarded the email to Josh Drayton, the Eels’ boss of communications. He told me he would contact the family … but didn’t. On Sunday morning they travelled home understandably disappointed.

I watch a lot of Youtube vlogs and a few of the Parramatta supporters were recorded getting pictures and autographs signed by the players.
