Would be great if you (Joe is invited too obviously) can come along. If you let me have details I’ll certainly try. Work in Swindon (cough, spit!), so will need a bit of time.

1bristolcity Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I am sure if ST's are not taken up en mass, they might reconsider the pricing policy, but big new stadiums come at a cost, as does a successful football team knocking on the door to the biggest league in football, we need to attract top players and they come at a cost, so you really have to pay for it. A Season Ticket still represents great value, if you really want the Old Third Division days without all seater stadiums awful food and beers, and a team that doesn't inspire...there's always the other lot.

Wilksi Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 15 minutes ago, Blagdon red said: We are meeting the club next week to the extent that we have invited Mark Ashton to attend our scheduled meeting on Wednesday. Matt Parsons has already confirmed that, as he has done since starting his job, he will be there. We don't yet know whether Mark will attend. Speaking personally, not on behalf of the SC&T, I do think it would be a good idea for everyone to consider delaying renewal of their ST (if they intend to do so) until AFTER that meeting. There is nothing to be lost by doing so and perhaps a lot to be gained. Thank you for this. What is the reason, if you personally think fans should hold off, that the SC&T can’t support this option? It it would make a huge difference if they published a response saying this advise. The club so so far are refusing to do anything and time is running short.

As said all this comes at a huge cost, if you want the club to flourish and prosper, (well cut losses actually) then we all need to get our heads out of the sand and get our hands in our pockets.

So lets have a blanket price rise. And a statement saying we need to increase ST revenue by x% for the following reasons. How difficult is that for someone who went to school, SL/MA?

Again, presupposing their approach is the only way to increase revenue. Very few people have argued against raising revenue - its the HOW they are doing it, by disproportionately hitting some sections and age groups. The reaction of the majority says they are wrong. Simple. Lets see how much bad feeling the club are willing to tolerate, especially if our form continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute bollox. Raise prices equally across the whole stadium. Pandering to the Day-Trippers is closer to the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Great that SCAT are trying to arrange this meeting with the club to discuss this, but the reality is; unless a decision maker agrees to attend it will be a waste of time. If they wheel out the usual faces then 'comments' will be fed back to people and nothing will come of it. Hopefully SCAT are able to put enough pressure on the club for them to wheel out the big guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
