Red Army 75 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hopefully we will be able to go. Fair play for freezing prices as I see Sunderland have increased their by 10%. I thought there would of been a slight increase. We go again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several thousand lapsed STH's they want to encourage back. Having said that it's a very welcome move, best announce NP asap if they hope for a positive response though.

Plenty of reasonable criticisms of LJ (that you have used aplenty) without trying to pin this on him as well. You're right that I can only speak for myself (and fellow City fans I know) but the prospect of yet another tedious season under LJ was the only reason I decided not to renew. Does it really surprise you that long term loyal fans will have a breaking point when it comes to accepting being frustrated and bored witless at AG, and this will show in terms of ST's sold?

We (or I certainly) didn't know the extent the looming pandemic would affect football medium/long term at the time of renewal. I guess you haven't watched City much live over the last few years Phil so don't realise quite how depressing attending AG had become. Still, we move on now with NP - hopefully.

That's a little harsh IMO, don't get me wrong I've had my fair share of runins with the forum troll but he's probably correct and in reality this is probably about a 2% cut for the club's main income stream as no doubt wages will rise again meaning more loss for the club. One things almost for sure - inflation won't be low this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Here's how to encourage a blindingly good season: results/performance based prices. No one's ever going to do it I know, but I'd feel better if we played sh1te week in week out. My season card price is £529 (centre dolman), so why not give me the option of the following: £20 base for each game + £5 for each win + £5 for each game where we played well (independantly assessed) So I'd be paying £460-£690 for my season card. They'd be risking £70 for a potential £161 return. They can have the £690 upfront and refund the difference (or put it to the next season card) at the end of the year Just imagine having to phone radio bristol and complain: "typical city, not only did they win, but they played well" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon reflection, cynical would better describe your post, so I apologise and stand corrected. I know you 'applauded it': my view was just that you could have ended your post there, rather than add your 'cynical' comment. 14 minutes ago, Nogbad the Bad said: We (or I certainly) didn't know the extent the looming pandemic would affect football medium/long term at the time of renewal. I guess you haven't watched City much live over the last few years Phil so don't realise quite how depressing attending AG had become. Still, we move on now with NP - hopefully. Regrettably, you are correct. Like many of our age, I am blessed with selective memory, so I recall the 'thrilling' matches under the managership of Fred Ford and the early Alan Dicks years just as much as I recall enjoying the Terry Cooper, Joe Jordan and Gary Johnson years. Unfortunately, I never got to see City play live under Steve Cotterill, nor, indeed, Lee Johnson, although modern technology enabled me to follow them on line, as I still do today, but I cannot ever recall being depressed watching City live. As I said, the beauty of selective memory. 9 minutes ago, Pezo said: That's a little harsh IMO, don't get me wrong I've had my fair share of runins with the forum troll but he's probably correct and in reality this is probably about a 2% cut for the club's main income stream as no doubt wages will rise again meaning more loss for the club.

Wheelchair Disabled and Ambulant Disabled. I believe all Blue Badge holders qualify, but hopefully someone here knows more than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I’m glad the club have frozen prices. Definitely the right thing to do in the current climate with many supporters having lost their jobs during the pandemic or simply having fallen out of the habit of going to games. If NP signs a longer contract that’ll hopefully be a boost too after many fans became disillusioned in the last couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
