vulva Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Whichever way you look at it, football has lost the plot. All this talk about prices rocketing up if we get promoted is odd. If people can't afford £50, it doesn't matter if we are playing Bristol City or Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Don't disagree because even on the Kop over 10 months that would be £120 per month - although we have just sacked off the gym as that would have been £130 per month for 3 of us so straight replacement Wish me luck in my discussion with the wife ! Looking on the bright side though with regards to binning off the gym, at least Tas'll be able to give you loads of advice in the 2016 diet and exercise thread.

Animis Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 how does the annual price in say year 2 & 3 compare to a comparable club in the Premiership - Stoke, West Brom etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldGigsChris Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 In two minds on this one. Price increases seem to be reasonable, but even though I've been a ST holder for the last 15 years and expect to continue, I'm not sure I can justify paying 3 years money up front. This doesn't reward past loyalty, it profits people who have the money not to worry about the future saving anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cersei Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 When people are sacking off gym memberships to afford a game a fortnight something has gone very very wrong with all this. DC doesn't get it, he just doesn't. By my calculations, if everyone who bought an ST last year buys one this year, it will generate 1 million pounds, which seems to explain the numbers thy have gone up by. That's 16k STs I have done a rough calc on. 1 million, matias cost 4 million, hooper will earn that in 4 months with us. I would honestly rather see our club survive with maybe ONE less player than 1600 fans coughing up out of a budget to watch football at Hillsborough every other week for 10 months.

WatfordOwl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) The club could do some serious PR work and have these prices as the only ST prices for the 2016/17 season - it's a big wish but would be fantastic. It would undoubtedly eradicate a lot of the negative publicity surrounding this season. The one thing I would say is that there is plenty of pre-warning if they are to follow the same model as last seasons phases, so if it was based on laying a foundation of being fearful of what's to come then this thread alone proves the point that it's worked.

Not SWFC's fault, but football in general. Good luck to those who can afford it and I hope you enjoy it. But I've said before and will say it again, in 10 years football crowds will dwindle as its no longer the focal point of revenue and in today's multimedia society you can see all the highlights within one hour of the game being played.

eckington owl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Which is the p**stake of it all. The least they could have done would be to offer a 3 year deal, at 3 x the price of last years renewal. At the risk of breaking rank, I think these prices are a disgrace. Let's not forget they were hiked up last season. I can only comment on the South Stand prices, but compared to 2 years back, we must be paying at least 25% more. And I'm still waiting to see if existing, loyal season ticket holders, pay the same price as a bloke who walks in off the street. I'm all for filling the ground, but I've spent the last 15 years watching some utter bobbar at times, not rocking up now to watch FF and whichever Carlos Kickaball we sign in the next 4 weeks. 3 years on the north works out at £488, last seasons early bird on the north was £480. Booo, disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Of course things change. But this might give a guidline as to what we might expect if we do go up and advanced sale offers aren't taken.

For the money to go into the back pocket of some random Senagalise international who spunks it on a flat in Greenwich, as he plan his next move to Crystal Palace? Football needs another ITV digital situation, in the Premier League this time, to sort the game out once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlinexile Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Kop 1 year - 415 Kop 2 year - 810 (405 per year - saving 10 quid a season over buying a one year) Kop 3 year - 1205 (401 per year - saving 14 quid a season over buying a one year) Is that right? I'm not sure I understand this one and why you'd go for a 2 or 3 year option Someone explain it to me in simple english Because he plans to put prices up next year and the year after too...

TrickyTrev Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Is this correct? I renewed in the South this season, and paid £505, IIRC. (Could someone confirm). Yet I'm asked for the equivalent of £560 a season, upfront, despite paying for 3 years. Is it me, or is that utterly ridiculous? You paid £505 to renew on the South? I paid £550 to renew on the South... Can't believe I spent an extra £45 I didn't have to!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluey9 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cracking prices when you break them down to a match by match basis. There's no excuses now The prices are out and there's plenty of time to get it sorted. For anybody wanting more than the 10 month finance option, it's easy enough to get a loan or interest free credit card online to cover the cost.
