  1. No, the biggest slap was the one in the face of loyal fans & families who've kept this mob in existence for the last nine seasons.
  2. So on that basis Man Utds would be fourpence & Colchesters £5,000 :noexpression: Try again
  3. Nothings changed because the premise is wrong.We are not competing with Premier League Clubs for ST sales or an audience.Neither will we compete in the transfer market with them, we can't unless SL decides to plough more of his personal fortune into the club and he gives little indication of doing that. Prem Clubs will have to spend about 4-8 times what we will on wages and far more on transfers/signing on fees, so they need as much as they can get.They are reducing prices for one reason-People stopped going and, if prices go up, even more will.The game is being slowly priced beyond it's customer base and £30 to sit in The Dolman to watch Colchester on a wet & cold Thursday night, ain't going to happen. As you say, people may well renew this season or buy an ST because of their excitement or the novelty of Championship Football.Corporate Hosp may well boom due to the attraction of the opposition in the main and that's an area where I have no issue with the club cashing in because those are the people who'll walk away, unlike me, if we're relegated or are unsuccesful. Loyalty may well be a forgotten word in Football-but that cuts both ways as Wigan, Blackburn & Bolton all found out last season.Sunderland previous regime took their fans for granted and lost 10,000 ST Holder last season that they have had to reduce prices to bring back, even on the back of promotion. Forget the TV because if people walk away from the game it will die and, as you have said, that's even more relevant from a lower league perspective.
  4. Villa ARE in The Premiership and a Holt End Adult ST is cheaper than an EE or Atyeo. Oh and as a note to the poster-excellent post-but my ST in The Dolman is £455 (£105 up on last season) and only £20 cheaper than a seat behind the goal at Old Trafford.If I paid on the day it would be........wait for it...........£690..........which is £5 per game DEARER than a seat behind the goal at Old Trafford, based on 23 games The disconnect I've described at our club is becoming a chasm Can I also make a comment about the income disparity that is in some quarters (EP) being trotted out as an excuse for this hike and moreover to explain why Premier Clubs, in some cases can charge less.They have about £29m more in TV Money. Fine, however, they also have far higher wage bills, signing on fees, more staff and spend most of that extra income in the transfer market.I can remember Villa spending £14m on Petrov & Young last season.Charlton spent £11m in the last close season.
  5. DEAR ALL, Well the foreign exiles in particular. I think it would make an interesting read to here how you finished up where you are, particularly if you started out in Bristol.If not and you started out abroad how did you start follwoing City. Not compulsory, just an idea.
  6. So in brief, you're travelling with Bakers Dolphin
  7. I've just worked out that I do 6,000 Miles a Year Coming to HOME games........what do I get for that?? I know, I know LAUGHED AT
  8. Yes, something like three random old blokes pulled from the crowd wandering about the pitch like they've got Altziemers. Also something highly unimaginative...........so that's it confirmed then
  9. Just got the heads up from the coach co-ordinator at Bakers Dolphin for that trip.This version is in English but can be supplied in Polish if required.We appreciate you can't read Polish but that's hardly our problem sunshine, is it?? Membury-Bristol City FC Leave Membury and travel towards London leaving the M4 at Chiswick. Turn onto the North Circular and head North signposted A1 The North. Carry on for appx 400 Miles and you'll see signs for Scotland & Newcastle.......either that or you'll be in the see, either way we ain't bovvered. At this point-PANIC. Ask where Bristol is Find out the Newcastle Airport is your best bet with Easyjet Fly from Newcastle to Cardiff-Well it's to simple to fly to Bristol and you save a quid going to Cardiff and the bridge is free coming out of Wales. From Cardiff follow signs to Swansea where you can catch a ferry around the coast. Arrive in France where you can watch the game on Algerian TV. Please note:You will be required to leave Membury yesterday at 7pm and don't come blaming me and wanting your money back if it goes wrong because delays happen. Remember Our Motto WE'VE HAD YOUR MONEY NOW ***K OFF
  10. Good try but it's not a patch on Peter Carroll
  11. Thought you hadn't been on here much. Hope all goes well mate. None of us are getting any younger and following City doesn't help.
  12. I'm tarvelling with Peter Carroll and I'll be going via Warsaw, then Krakow, does that count?
  13. Just wanted to say thanks for cheering me up
  14. Phillips & Wilks don't even start regularly and LW's off in the close season anyway.I wouldn't be surprised if SP left as well and Cotts flatters to deceive week in, week out. I agree about Brooker & Carey and we need to attract the right players.
