Dave Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 15 hours ago, Spoons said: But on top of the u12 price increase of £49 my adult ticket has gone up by £68. I have two kids both with season tickets so £168 extra to stay in central dolman is to much. I have sat in my Wheelchair in A10 (Dolman Wings) for three seasons, and next season will be the fourth. Next season will be the first season when there has been a price increase, is this the same for the Dolman Central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive, and others in the 7 seater pay an extra £5 each on top of actual petrol costs, for wear and tear, mileage etc, and the ability to drink and have a laugh. So believe that can understand your argument, but what about games like Sunderland Middlesboro etc, would you drive there and back in a single day fair play if you do.

If you use Supply and Demand Theory which most product firms would use then football is overpriced. Perfect supply demand would see a full stadium every week. For every week the stadium has empty seats then the price is wrong. If the club makes a loss on the value of a full stadium then the overheads are completely wrong. The overheads are mainly players wages so we know and have known for a long time player wages are too high. For clubs to be profitable there needs to be a burst in the bubble. I agree that player wages need reigning in. I get your point about the stadium being full to equate demand, but crowds at a 40 year high suggest that is not “over priced”.

The chaps of Section 82 are all doing so too. We ask as many of you as are inclined, to join us Some may think this affects the team. I don’t. If you are behind it, leave with me on 30 minutes. It’s only a 15 minute protest, you can go back in for the 2nd half. Hopefully this will be enough to not affect the team but to also be enough of a visible statement. Sneaky & Dirty - I’m out at 30. Well done, Harry. Can't make the game on Saturday, but fully behind you and would be joining you in the walk-out if I was there. I hope many, many supporters show their empathy for fellow fans facing dificult decisions due to the social engineering that is going on here and join you by walking out on thirty minutes.

And as many others as like in other stands can do the same. An empty corner of the SS would look good visually. Needs only to be for a minute or two. BS would absolutely love S82 to walk out and never come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 What gripes me is the fact they hold the AG development against us as some kind of bargaining chip. No one is exactly sat here screaming the stadium is shit . No idea why the stadium being better than Bournemouth, Huddersfield etc has anything to do with things...

But why should I pay an extra £68 to sit in dolman central?I was already paying a premium rate and the extra £68 is not value for money. View is great. That's where it ends. Seats awful , leg room shocking, que to leave stadium the longest of all stands,no chance of buying beer and pie at half time before start of 2nd half. The dolman central isn't the lansdown lower central where you have loads of room, quick access out of stadium etc. The only reason I sit there is the people we've become friends with over last 19 consecutive seasons. I'm sad to say I can't justify a Extra £168 to stay there for another season so as the club want they get there wish I've moved to the upper lansdown. If my dad wasn't renewing I wouldn't have bothered as I'm that Angry but it's the only time I get with my old man and the kids together..just a shame the club want to make that experience worse for me. And after all my seven and four year old are the future of the club. To force them to move just so they can sell there premium seat to a POD person is morally bankrupt!!!

We had one ready to go before yesterday’s announcement as the club had initially said they wouldn’t be saying anything until today. If we are serious about walking out on 30 minutes please mention it in the amended statement. It’s bound to be picked up by the Evil Post which will help with awareness and momentum.

If someone only has the budget of £300 to spend on a ST, then it doesn't matter what players we have, as they can't afford it. Personally I couldn't give a toss about how good our team is, I care about this club. I care that some people are being priced out at the bottom end and I value them above and beyond big money signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is that price rises are cynical and way over the current rate of inflation. Bristol Sport have MADE people unable to afford STs. It's not societal or through lack of work. It falls at the feet of Jon Lansdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
