RedM Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I know a lot of people 'gambled' and brought their season tickets early, ie paid 1st division prices to watch, what we hoped, would be a championship side by the start of the season. If we do reach the prayoffs I expect they will be more than happy to gamble again. If we don't, I can see many people who have ST's now not renewing and the club may find it difficult to attract new customers. No doubt there will be a price increase whatever happens. I can't think the club will freeze prices as a goodwill gesture. We have had no cup runs this year and if we don't have prayoff games either we will again be told how little money there is to pay the poor players! And don't even think about bringing anyone in! With the work starting to develop the ground next season our capacity will be reduced which again equals less revenue. We don't often sell out but it can happen occasionally. Yes, I believe we are going to hear lots of 'times are hard' crys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see much more or on that note much less either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adult tickets are expensive and I know several people considering being a bit more choosy about what games they go to next season. With mediocre, predictable football and no atmosphere, who can really blame them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will carry on buying my season ticket regardless of how the team does as i have done for the last fifteen years as I'm a City supporter so why would i want to be sat at home on a saturday when the boys are playing at the gate? Of course i get frustrated, angry and dispondant at times IT'S PART AND PARCEL OF SUPPORTING A LOWER LEAGUE CLUB. If you want success every season you need to be supporting Chelsea, Arsenal or Manure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless things pick up (both results AND performances) by the end of the season then I'm afraid that many people will stay away from the Gate next season. I'm afraid that's a fact of life, and I'm sure our board are well aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sinjen Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Season tickets will drop, there are season ticket holders that have already stopped going to games, home and away. just look how our away attendances have dropped. Some supporters have just had enough of the mediocre product on offer at the price you have to pay. With all the usual false dawns, false promises its become groundhog day!

Wont be a great loss as she cant be a true supporter to even consider it, ive had my moments driving back from Newcastle after losing 5-1, from Tranmere after losing 6-0 nbut i still go and will always continue to.

This is a forum where people can discuss these opinions, where mine may be different to yours and the next person but might be the same as the fourth person. I do not knock those that are happy to, bury their heads in the sand, support the club financially regardless of their league position, product on offer etc etc. Far from it, its those type of supporters that will allow the club to continue and I take my hat off to you because your tolerance to the situation is far greater than mine. Your expectations are also therefore different to mine and you make your choice and I make mine, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
