Northern Red Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 The fact is that, as much as people moan, the club know that most will suck it up and renew, including some who are currently very vocal about not doing so. Same as it is every year. Though I do wonder how many new ones they'll sell. Tinnion being on the promo is just weird though, it would be even if he was currently unversally popular. And it'd be even weirder if Manning wasn't. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do know is that whenever I look at the South Stand all I see is loads of empty seats and people advised there are no tickets for sale in that area. I'm sure there's a solution in there somewhere. Yes, somehow stop them sitting, standing in the Dolman or Lansdown. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartleysbeard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 8 minutes ago, elhombrecito said: Yes of course we can renew there. But by paying more than 10% extra for me, or more than 90% extra for him. Which is scandalous. And yes we could move to Upper Lansdown, and be absolutely miles from the pitch, away from the people I've been sat with since the South Stand opened, and still be paying more for the privilege than I did this season in the South Stand. Ok, I see it what you’re saying now. It’s unfortunate for you but I’d argue the £55 for a child ST which includes a free shirt, was far too good a deal. It’s attracted people to buy them without genuine intent for that seat to be filled every match. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do football ops people end up on a promo! This is awful, Manning too at the centre of it all, go with a player instead like Pringy who deserves it. Seriously bad PR!

Bit of an administrative nightmare but maybe bring in a loyalty system where the child's ticket attendance this season being over say 70% (please people don't get too hung up on this number, I made it up) gets you the lower price for the following season whereas the selfish git whose niece attended once pays quadruple for a child ticket? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The move in kickoffs is likely to really impact me though as I run a grassroots team and as such next season will probably be a trial run. The balance will be between losing seats which I really do like and have had for years versus reduced games attended (and I always factor in not being at 2-3 games a year) and what that does to net price. If the football is as it is, I can see 25/26 being very messy for that reason for a lot of people. It really is make or break for them.

It’ll be like Japanese Water Torture to sit through his “football” but I’ll renew mine and the kids. Doesnt mean I like the regime. And my micro protest will be to leave it until the last minute. But by god, it’ll be a slog. I suppose at least if you go to the games you don't have to listen to him. I hope the improved match day experience is 'improved'. How I don't know?

Yeah, the TV deal is an added potential tipping point and I'm not sure how widespread the awareness is about it, which the club haven't yet done anything to aid either (though I suspect they're not alone amongst the rest of the EFL clubs in that). As Silvio says above, next season may well prove to be a trial run for many, as people buy and then find games being shifted all over.

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 7 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: I do think there will be a reduction of sales next season although if you read this thread we'll be lucky to sell one..........will be interesting to see where we end up. I reckon sub-13K is very likely, just a case of how much less. All down to a handful of people, and I exclude Liam Manning from that list tbh. A lot less imo - I think you're hugely underestimating the mutiny we're about to see. It's been rubbish entertainment down there for many years (average 8 home wins per season in the last 9 seasons?) and I think with the diabolical treatment of NP and a less than inspiring replacement this is the year fans finally follow through on their threats not to renew by actually doing it. So many fans are pissed off with Bristol City FC and the continuing dreadful decisions that drain all hope and I wouldn't be at all surprised at a mass desertion by several thousand. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 21 minutes ago, JBFC II said: I was told it was at around 60% a month back, figured Sunday would have dropped that number. Regardless, it's not great at all to look at, the club had to do something to address it South stand includes the corner which is almost always over capacity. So you need to factor that in. There are a lot of under 19s under 22s etc in the stand as well. Some have had STs since being 5. This will drive a lot of them away. There will be a lot of unintended outcomes to this..

I'm pissed off with Bristol City's hierarchy, that's for sure but I hear the same talk every year and this forum magnifies the discontent tbh. Not saying it's impossible (the person I meet down there is packing in) but unlikely to be thousands imo. Many people go to football for more than the football (which is just as well given the total shite we endure week in, week out).

Hartleysbeard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 How much do we expect fixtures to be moved from Sat 3pm? I’ll be one of those trying to juggle attending with other commitments like coaching a grass roots team. If there are more frequent Sunday fixtures, I fear I’m going to lose the value of being an ST holder. That said, I’m usually able to shift my tickets to friends when unable to attend. Much easier to do that when we’re playing well of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I dont understand though, is if an adult buys a childs ST just to get a shirt and a seat next to him for the remaining 20 quid or so, why would he not take a mate or family member with him? The stewards take no notice of adults going in on blue lights. I will always maintain the majority of the empty seats are SS ticket holders sitting elsewhere.

Redinthehead Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Quite a hike for me in the south stand with two kids tickets. Think it’s very odd to attempt to get more pay on the day in the South Stand in this way. As people have suggested on here before, if you want more pay on the day/less gaps from ST holders who can’t attend - give us a way of releasing our tickets for sale and chucking us a few loyalty points in exchange. Gets you both rather than people questioning whether they want to renew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.V.F Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 The club quote the following: Adults start from £390 (£17 per game) in a newly expanded Family Area next season, while the popular South Stand is £425 for renewing adults (£18 per game). Well, the South Stand prices are not "£18 per game", it is actually £18.48 per game. If it was "£18" per game the total price would be 23 x £18 = £414 (not £425!). I know and appreciate the numbers have been rounded, but why not quote the real actual cost per game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to do that when we’re playing well of course! 5 out of 12 games are being shifted each weekend. So I'd assume that a fair few of our games that would've otherwise been 3pm will be moved.
