The only way to make that**** Jon Lansdown and his BS cronies pay attention is by hitting the club in the pocket, hopefully short term. Therefore if you are potd don't go. if you are SC then you can afford to miss one match, and the empty seats will get media attention if enough stay away. If you have bought a ticket or dont want to miss a game do NOT buy anything from BS whilst in the ground. I will try to spend £30 on natch in Bemmy instead. Wish me luck.... Good luck!

CotswoldRed Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Aside from the question of renewal, I estimate that this year I have spent around £400 on food and shop purchases at Ashton Gate. Next season it will be £0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlborough Red Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 A simple idea for an effective protest at the game on Saturday that every ST holder will be able to join in. As the 29th minute shows on the screens (last day for renewal of your seat for next season) All season ticket holders stand up and wave their season ticket in the air for 60 seconds and Boo. Demonstrates we are not happy with the pricing strategy , linked to the fact that we will not be renewing our ST's until the last minute (if at all) . After that , cheer on the Team for the rest of the match for a much needed 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 We upgraded the stadium so shut up and pay, move or leave. What it feels like. Again nothing about the drastic increases in parts of the ground. Ok 15% this season. How much next? Why not increase gradually? Or will prices be frozen the next couple seasons? All relevant questions unanswered. I will probably renew but I will not give another penny to that place. Not a shirt, sausage roll, pint or anything and I urge everyone else to do the same. Don’t miss out on your enjoyment because of them just. Just give the bare minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've read the statement but not the whole thread and what a load of old horsecrap that is! No explanation as to why some have a 50% rise, some (OAP's) have a 30% rise while some have virtually no rise at all. Like others, we can afford the rise but it's grossly unfair on certain groups. My old man (OAP) has a 30% rise while I have around 5% yet we sit next to each other. How's that consistent? Really poor Bristol bloody sport IMO.

bs20ciderarmy Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I’m slightly confused, are people actually talking about protesting because the price has gone up? The price of tickets hasn’t risen in most parts of the ground for years! We now have a stadium to be proud of, a team fighting the right end of the championship, money being heavily invested in new players, training ground etc etc. I really don’t see a issue with the rise in price? Lansdown has always said he wants the club to be self sufficient not just him pumping money all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOLLOWING THE CLUB STATEMENT, CAN WE HAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON WHAT TO DO, IF ANYTHING, NOW PLEASE? 'The Club' has addressed some issues - the ones they say they went away from the meeting with - IS IT ENOUGH? The only things we can do immediately are (a) issue a further STATEMENT and (b) consider some form of PROTEST. I am deliberately not making any comment - we want to hear from YOU. If you support either or both the above - please let us know EXACTLY what you support. THANKS! It's Thursday everyone. Time's short. Let's hear if you'll protest inside or protest outside; or if you'll not go. Let's not turn this thread into a series of off-topic comments. Be decisive. I'm for something visual - I like the idea of the Upper Lansdown kids holding up cards/signs...and why not in S82 as well. Lots of photos of this and get it going round as many sites/places online as poss. Yes, the Lansdowns could be hit by us not buying season tickets but, in all honesty, isn't Lansdown Snr losing money as it is anyway (so Ashton keeps bleating on about)? He can afford a couple of years of slightly less season ticket holders. Negative publicity across the internet is more damaging, I would think. Up till now he's banking on this being an Evening Post story at most, and then it blowing over. Look how on here we take notice of and link to stories of fan unrest etc from the BBC site for example. Creating bad publicity (not pitch invasions) is the best option for me. Whatever we do, it should be sustained, not just one game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price rises in some areas are absolutely astronomical for certain groups. This statement and the clubs attitude during the FAN meeting reeks of total contempt for us as a fanbase. They've shown how out of touch they are with football fans, we're just customers to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could chose to move to SSE and watch Bristol Rovers instead but that would be personal choice (obviously I would have to insane). Or you could, if price were the issue, change to a different tariff (stand) when you got basically the same, for less. There are options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is not a good offer is when it is used to justify a £50 price increase i.e. "you're price is now £100 but you still get a free shirt". I think it' unfair to cap at under 12. I reall can't understand that. It should be under 16. Unless they know something I don't about magic money appearing when your kids then 12.

It's a fair question but respectfully it misses the point. The club - and no one else - chose what to set the existing U19/U12 prices at. Even if you accepted that the "right" price was £99, the club shows utter contempt for family supporters in the Dolman etc by inviting kids into stands at one price and then trying to hoist a 100% increase in one go (when they decide they want them somewhere else). The question of what a fair price is doesn't come into this. The real issue is the club made their bed and should lie in it. Not do a 100% about turn engineered to make fans go elsewhere. So it's not a case of what the right price is, but what a fair increase is. And this, quite obviously is not. Especially when the rest of us (me included) are paying **** all increase in the exact same blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
