wendyredredrobin Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Boring football, Poor win ratio, sliding down the table and higher prices. You can see where this is going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 31 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Key dates here: I’d urge everyone, even if they are renewing, to not do so until the last possible minute before the deadline. We’re kind of prisoners to this shitshow but it’s better the money is in your account until 23rd April than theirs and it’s the only small protest we have! They won't be able to cope with a last minute dash in such numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 They haven't read the mood. Expect sales to be really poor. At least 3000 won't renew. Can't see many new 'customers ' jumping at the chance to get a ST either. I can see the home game on a Wednesday in November vs Blackburn looking particularly sparse. These games are a. Up against Champions League and b. All on TV anyway. Sod all potd there... When people realise that there will also be more Saturday lunchtime/ Sunday lunchtime/ Friday night games as well it can only lead to people nor renewing. Club have taken a hammer to an acorn to resolve issues in South Stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's full how are the club and I quote the main site: "We have made a number of changes to try and increase matchday attendance, particularly in the South Stand by capping the number of Season Tickets to enable more match tickets to be made available here.” It seems they are doing this by massively increasing prices for under 12s in the SS to encourage people to move to the extended the Family Area in the Upper Lansdown Stand?? 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! It’s almost as if it’s a rather unsubtle ‘stuff you’ statement from the Club. Well fine. Let’s now see what these two maestros deliver between now and the end of the Season in order for them to have the headline billing on the Club’s most important promotional poster of the year. No pressure chaps. I will be more than delighted if you deliver, starting Saturday. 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: 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 Has your son’s ticket gone up that much because he’s now in a higher age category?

Numero Uno Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Just now, Silvio Dante said: 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. Exactly this. If I can't make a game due to TV Scheduling then I can't make it. I accept others have a different view but as you say it will be a relatively small number overall. I am going to see how it pans out......if the scheduling is ridiculous then I won't bother for 25-26, simple as that. Looking on this thread we'll be lucky to shift a dozen season tickets as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Just now, BasSavage88 said: Only if you **** off to the upper lansdown I mean, it is the family section and gives a very good view of the pitch. When you compare to other clubs in the league it's not bad at all (£200 at Middlesbrough, for example). Realistically, this keeps cheap season tickets for u12s while also hopefully making the South Stand a bit more than 60% full next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 For people that didn't abuse the offer this is a kick in the balls. For both tickets it's increased from £440 to £530. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Just now, Hartleysbeard said: Has your son’s ticket gone up that much because he’s now in a higher age category? No. It's because the club have decided that all under 12s should **** off up to the Lansdown Stand, whether or not the people they sit with have been happily sitting in the South Stand since it opened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, Leroyfromthestart said: 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 They think that they're moving you to the Lansdown but actually they're pushing you away.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 It's an incredibly strange choice of image. 7 people in the photo, only one of which is a current first team player. Is it normal to have a big picture of the club's technical director on such a post? Surely the club know that Tinnion and Manning are relatively unpopular figures within the fanbase right now, so why make them so prominent in the advert? We seem to have used this as an opportunity to double-down on a couple of unpopular appointments. Very odd. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
