BRISTOL86 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 7 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: So everyone relocates to the cheaper seats. Then what? Dolman central is empty while punters are sitting on each other's knees in the South Stand? Come on, there only a limited number of seats to go around in each area. Saying cheaper seats are available is a joke, but they are not available to everyone. Yes it was poorly worded, apologies. Obviously I didn’t mean that everyone who didn’t like the price could just move to the SS and it’s solve everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Turnip Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Welcome To The Jungle said: My question to you would be which is more important? 1) The club, ie your fellow fan who may be priced out next season or forced to pay hundreds more for their children just to stay with their friends. 2) The team and achieving promotion For me it is option one and so therefore if it means lessening the teams chances then so be it. We are a club, which is 'a group of people who share common interest in an organised fashion'. Lets follow the example of our fellow fans overseas and protest and do it properly. I think 1 too. But why does it have to be one or the other? Can't we protest before and after the game and at half time, but cheer on the lads during the 90 mins? I think that would fall under the definition of "properly" done as it'd be structured and organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After being moved out of my seats for 3 of the last 5 or 6 seasons (once from the upper grandstand when the east end lads were moved in there, then from the grandstand when it was rebuilt and then finally last year when we were moved from W11 Lower Lansdown so the club could allow bizarrely for group bookings to sit there) i'm now faced with paying nearly 3 times the price for my kids under 19 tickets in W12. Sorry Bristol City this is one kick in the nuts too many! I've no qualms with my tickets going up from £469 to £499 but my 2 childrens tickets have gone from £97 to £255, meaning my 3 tickets have risen from £663 to £1009. How the club can justify this is beyond me? And to say they want all families to sit together is just rubbish. Football is about atmosphere, passion, the banter with the group of people you sit by. It's not about the singers all sat in one area, or all families in another. I don't want to move seats yet again, even if they are cheaper. I also don't want to be forced up into the gods to watch my football. So it looks like my matchday experience will now be watching it on the tele when all games are to be streamed from next season. Thank you Bristol City. I'm glad my money and loyalty over the last 40 years counts for so much! Only the midweek games will be streamed next year (unless you are overseas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds ridiculous, however.... Certainly has the logic of the Conservatives "stop benefits to encourage people to get a job" approach. What is disappointing is the management collectively decided that this decision ... A) Didn't need an explanation that the majority of fans could buy into. B) Wouldn't create a great fuss and ill-feeling directed at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Can't understand why they didn't put up the south stand by £5 each or something so there weren't large increases elsewhere. Honestly don't think they would lose many fans from the SS by having a quick rethink and rebalancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't think they would lose many fans from the SS by having a quick rethink and rebalancing. Exactly. There can't be a single solution that raises the desired revenue. Nobody wants an increase, but if the increase is one that we all swallow and we are reasonably informed how it will be spent, what's really to disapprove of? Personally, I think the emphasis - when wanting to increase revenue - should be on increasing the number of bums on seats. To date the club have done well here and they could continue this trend. It hasn't been a bad season as such. This is likely, I feel, to reduce attendances, especially coming at a time when there is a air of disappointment about on-pitch performance.

So your saying it’s right that I have to pay £355 for a 5 year old to attend city. Id like some of your money please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order for a protest to hold any weight it's participants must make a sacrifice of sorts. That is what shows that you are serious and you believe in your protest. The miners didn't protest before and after work, but go in and earn their pay during the day. They had to sacrifice.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I see that the 'Media Watch - February 28th' page on the City website has the following media item: "The Post also writes of City's 2018/19 season ticket prices, which start from £15" How completely cynical is this? "which start from £15". Really? I can get a season ticket for £15? Or is this just some City media hack trying to put a positive spin on a shameful decision?
