I think they are just as likely to grab a pint in north street and buy a Clark’s pasty. They’re only a captive audience for 90 minutes. And they’re more likely to be Bristolian or aware of the amenities around the stadium. Our club shop is absolute litter as well so I don’t think they are spending there. All I can see is they maybe have 1-2 pints on the concourse on the day over what a season ticket holder may spend, which is far less than a season ticket holder over the course They are also only likely to even be there for a glamour match for which we would sell out anyway or a cheap promotional potd ticket - a category A / gold game however the club market it now, or a promotional giveaway such as a bring a friend for a tenner game to season ticket holders. It seems to me we are banking on good cup draws in reality. As a season ticket holder I think season ticket holders probably spend as much as anyone else , I attend the supporters club before every home game and you have a job to get a seat 2 hrs before Ko and I know most people that go in there and nearly all are season ticket holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what we get for the final three home games................if he wins a couple of the next three most might hang around, if he picks up 0-3 points there will be empty seats rattling all over the place. Bearing in mind we have had nothing to play for (although we still might if he loses those three) for a number of seasons and there hasn't been a massive drop off that I can remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The malease needs to be lifted, We need to be quick out of the blocks and in the oppositions face, that should get the crowd going, which in turn should feed the players No more of the trudged boring possession based bullshit, Do that and he will win back some fans, and may even reverse some of the damage done by the higher ups, That or tinnion, Manning and Jr all resign by Monday and are replaced with proven compatance 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite a comfortable looking position in the overall scheme of things I think the next three games decide what happens with Manning, at least in the short to medium term if they go well but if they don't then the hierarchy really are in a big hole. The bloke is under pressure, agree with it or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe how un-interested these clowns have made me feel, taken me right back to the Tony Clueless days I think quite a few will take that view including people who are renewing for next season. The football in the last three home games has been soul destroying to sit through and if we get outplayed by Leicester on Friday I think for many that will be enough.........unless we get to Rotherham and really need to win that match.

Dolman Block B Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Awaiting for the club to announce "A wonderful response by fans as we hit record sales in the first few weeks" Was out with a few mates Friday, all current season ticket holders and none of us have renewed yet! That has never happened before and we all agree as it stands its the committment to watch pretty poor football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fixture list won’t be announced until after the last renewal date will it? If that’s the case anyone in the SS who hasn’t renewed won’t be able do so in the SS will they?

That affects just four games maximum, which while a pain is manageable, with the new Sky deal far more games home and away will be moved. Anyone who has a life away from football could find it difficult to attend far more home games next season when they are altered from 3.00pm Saturday.

Anyone who has a life away from football could find it difficult to attend far more home games next season when they are altered from 3.00pm Saturday. Will be interesting to see the effect of this new Sky deal and not just with us. I would say that on one hand PL scheduling hasn't hurt attendances too much there, on the other hand this doesn't seem like a great reward for Clubs for the potential inconvenience especially at Championship level. If Clubs were getting say another £5m per Year that would cover the risk. £2-2.5m per Year? Not really.

It’s not really about the money though is it, it’s more to do with making a statement. You and the other quick payers clearly aren’t bothered about how the club is being tun and keep sucking it up. Your choice of course, but I can’t see this club improving until fans start showing some backbone and stop rewarding mediocrity. 4 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
