I think you've added the wrong URL, this link is about the Swindon area

Do we know that this is a new trend?

I'm curious by a couple of your points, where are the club saying they are prioritising POTD? It's more beneficial to them to have the money in the account for the summer etc than sporadically getting different numbers per match. Again, you talk about capping season tickets, this isn't anything new every club has had to make a minimum number of tickets available to non ST holders for a long time. They certainly won't be capping them at a lower number than what we currently have sold this season. I'm confused by the last paragraph, how will those not attending spend any money? There's no evidence a ST holder spends more or less than someone who pays on the day

Judging by sale being confirmed as over 12k today, it would seem people are happy with parting with their hard earned money

Sales confirmed as over 12k, there's not the impact so far That's incorrect, it's already been confirmed that when the fixture list is released it'll show all the TV slots up to FA Cup 3rd round weekend So basically up to the New Year's Day round of fixtures

Gavin Marshall is CEO of Bristol Sport not Bristol City who Richard Gould was CEO of

The brutal answer is that nobody really knows until the fixtures are published in June

As I have touched on previously, there are ongoing discussions between the SC&T and club, these will ramp up over the coming weeks and months but will depend on the buy in from our board. One of the items raised already is this In current discussions it has been raised that if if happens it will be from the point of being unavailable to attend the game That is likely to be a team that has a buyback scheme and "sells out" but has unused seats I would say it is a good thing if someone doesn't attend but also doesn't offer their seat to be resold

or those that are aware of the chaotic fixture schedule ahead and are not buying because of that? I still ask how people suddenly think the football is all of a sudden any worse than compared to the vast majority in the past Because meetings discuss sensitive and private information and not for me to disclose

Take your pick from one of these

This advice could save your life..... Or at least your ears

I hadn't realised that he was managing so far down the pyramid

Three play offs, three defeats

Into a minimum of 4 added minutes at the end of the 120

Braintree just gone 1-0 against Bath in the 119th minute

TAKEN FROM : https://thefsa.org.uk/news/football-governance-bill-progresses-to-committee-stage/ Football Governance Bill progresses to committee stage Posted on 23rd April 2024 Last month the Government announced it would launch legislation to introduce an Independent Football Regulator – and that legislation continued its progress through Parliament with its second reading today. The FSA has backed an independent regulator for many years as the Premier League has proven time and again it is incapable of regulating its own clubs – as highlighted most famously by the European Super League debacle. The regulator will prevent domestic clubs from entering such competitions, embed supporter consultation mechanisms within the game and protect club heritage items such as badges, kit colours and stadium locality. There was a broad cross-party consensus on those matters with many MPs making important points around protecting clubs from bad owners. Culture secretary Lucy Frazer said: “Too many fans have been taken for granted, too many fans have seen their team’s owner change club badges and colours without any fan input, or seen their club sell their stadium and upsticks or try to join closed shop breakaway leagues. “There have been 64 instances of clubs falling into administration since the Premier League was founded in 1992. Clearly, not all clubs are feeling the benefits of English football’s global success and something has to change.” Shadow culture secretary Thangam Debbonaire welcomed the Bill and said the Labour Party was “absolutely committed to passing this bill into law and to making it work. It is a once in a generation chance to change the game.” She also questioned the Government’s decision to define parachute payments as being outside the regulator’s remit – something which many MPs pointed out was a significant gap given the impact they have upon the game. Clive Betts MP – chair of the Football APPG and a member of the FSA’s APPG for Football Supporters – described the Premier League as having a “veto” over the issue of parachute payments and called for this to be reviewed at the next stage of legislative scrutiny. “Parachute payments are deliberately excluded from the remit of the regulator. Why has that been done when it is one of the most distortive elements of the current arrangements?” asked Betts. Crouch reports The final word goes to ex-sports minister Tracey Crouch MP, who chaired the Fan-led Review and namechecked the FSA’s role in Parliament today in bringing this legislation to fruition. “It is always important to remember that the Premier League asked the Government to intervene when six clubs sought to join the European Super League. The Fan-led Review was the outcome of that request from the Premier League – in preparation for this speech I reread their submission to the review,” said Crouch. “They thought there could be use for an institution with the capacity to intervene should they manifestly have failed to uphold their rules. Their submission also went on to say, and I quote, ‘Such a body could also set the general principles required for standards for governance and transparency, including for financial regulation; could strengthen the independent operation of the Owner and Director Test; support the principles of standards for owners responsibilities as custodians, and protect decision making over key issues for fans.’ “This Bill is exactly all those things shaped brilliantly to reflect the words of the Premier League itself of what a great regulator could look like – and leaving many of us scratching our heads as to why they’ve spent the last few weeks lobbying to stop the Bill progressing.” Next steps The legislation will now enter committee stage where a detailed examination of the Football Governance Bill will take place. Amendments to the Bill can take place at this stage and the FSA will publish a list of proposed amendments soon, alongside some simple actions that supporters can take to ask that their MP supports these amendments. The Bill itself does have a remit on football ownership, finance and supporter engagement – it was never set up to fix VAR, lower ticket prices, or stop TV messing around with fixtures – so we have to be realistic about what can be proposed. More on that to come soon – and we’ll need your support.

I'm not sure if it is the same data we're talking about. Just to clarify what I know is the % of adults, children and POTD tickets that did not not attend games

I hate to say but it's not been our club for a very long time, we're nothing more than paying customers now I'd disagree people not renewing is solely about discontent - see my reply above As previously mentioned it wasn’t solely children's tickets not being used The advantage next season the cheapest seats in the ground will now be available POTD and not going to waste

I hate to say I wouldn't have wasted your time, you'll never be able to work it out that way Exactly that, I'd say more people wouldn't renew because of the uncertainty of our fixtures If people are simply not renewing because of crap football I'd ask who they think they're actually watching, and apart from a very small handful of seasons in the past 50 years when we did Are tickets back on sale yet? Not really, why is it so important to you that you know how many season tickets have been sold months before the new season staers

Yet Duff, Johnson and Warnock were mentioned previously in the thread but you chose to react to Pearson Right...... I'm off

I do wonder how many on here would have problems if their hard drives were looked into

I know it is interesting to know how sales are going but does it really matter that we don't know?

To be fair to you it does show S. Bell

Just announced Chris Billam-Smith to have a rematch against Richard Riakporhe on June 15th at Selhurst Park, to be shown on Sky

No The other thing I am surprised nobody has commented on is the cost of £25 to keep a physical card after the fall out we had last year
