BasSavage88 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 2 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: Unfortunately it's probably because of selfish gits who buy a kids season ticket so they don't have to sit next to anyone bar the two or three games the kid turns up. So youll get a load of kids who wont go to games now instead of 5/6/10 times a season. Genius 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySLO Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Jerry - as you’re here can you please ask as part of the renewals that the club illustrate the likely impact of the new TV deal on timings of games. A lot of supporters not on here won’t be aware that the expectations of Saturday 3pm will be in jeopardy and it’s really unfair to ask supporters to renew without giving them full details of the possible impact. In fact, it may even be argued as being against fair sale processes. I'll see what info we have been given at this point. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Fete Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 No thanks for valued support, nothing around exciting new season ahead, nothing around incentives or the new TV deal I’m honestly staggered at how badly our marketing team or similar must be So so poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 14 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: In % terms that is (South Stand) Adult- 10.39% U19- 23.84% Taken as a whole. 14.66% Rounding may move the dial up or down 0.01%, but anyway. I think adult ST'S make up a minority of total ST sales, so this would skew the percentage increase by customer toward the higher end of the scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) Say the same every year but I really wish there was some recognition of fan loyalty whereby a sliding scale of discount is offered relative to consecutive years you've been a ST holder. Also - really dont understand the reduced prices for over 65s. Most of them have far more disposible income than someone still bringing up kids and paying a hefty mortgage. I said most, not all, before the old duffers get on my case...... Edited March 13 by 54-46 6 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I was nailed on to renew, despite the current on the pitch situation, but a £40 (over 10%) increase has made me seriously considering not renewing for the first time in 25 years. Not to mention my son's ticket going up by over 90%. What an absolute joke from the club. One very angry fan here 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius To be fair, kids can still get a season ticket for 65 quid, with a free shirt, in a different part of the ground. I would imagine there will be a very small negative affect on the number of kids getting a season ticket. People complain constantly about the number of empty seats in the south stand, this is one way to address that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 10 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: I will renew, the last season of unconditional renewal for me. Five or six years of uninspiring football and treading water is plenty and it's time to make it all a bit more entertaining imo. Time for "Customer" mode now!! I've only stayed for 130 minutes in the last two home games as it is........but if Liam can get his players in, do some work on the grass and make the football worth watching then happy days for all.

Youll now have a few 100/1000s of kids who wont be wearing the kit and wont be going to games so they can sell a couple more tickets on 5/6 games a season. There will be loads of parents who would think **** it for 50 quid ill get a top and 10 games a season for the little one.

formerly known as ivan Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 You’re all getting mugged off with those increases, especially in the south stand. But, and I’ve said it a few times before, good luck to you if you see value in paying those prices for this brand of football under this leadership. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 8 minutes ago, Davefevs said: added price increases in red. u12 South stand the big jumper! I guess they are the empty seat holders on the whole. Now there is a choice of paying a premium price and leaving the seat empty or giving it up. Either way the club wins, and by doing this people in other stands can have smaller increases. Lets face it £50 for a ticket and a free shirt was too cheap and it was abused. The price increase has possibly freed up some seats for much wanted POTD and brought bthe SS more inline with other stands. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroyfromthestart Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Easiest decision I’ve had to make in a long time - irrespective of the bull/lies being fed this season by our owner/board, a 20% increase on my 2 season tickets in the south stand for me and my daughter. I hope those that wanted season ticket holders to be moved out of the south stand will now take up our empty seats. As a former employee (before BS), season ticket holder for 25+ years and fan for many more years this is a very sad, but at the same time a ‘feeling of relief’ day, to detach me from this commitment and enable me to pick and choose what I do next 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I’d suggest the bold thing to do, as I appreciate things may not have been finalised, is to allow a “cooling off” period for fans - I.e fans can renew now but once the TV stuff is more firmed up, they get a limited window to hand back and have a refund. In practical terms very little fans would take that up, but it would be a very good thing to do PR wise. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
