@owlstalk Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 PRICING OF TICKETSNobody wants, needs or likes the tiered pricing of football - Scrap it and go back to one simple price for going to a football match. Announce it at the start of the season and stick to it. That goes for season tickets and pay on the gate.I dread to think how many fans have given up going to the games simply because its just too convoluted to find out how much it is to go to a game these days and to buy a ticket MEMBERSHIPThis has always been a ridiculous pointless exercise. Scrap it. Get rid of it. For big games where it goes on fan loyalty go on season tickets first, and number of games attended/tickets bought throughout the season for the next layer. The sales of tickets are recorded and so it's easy to sort a spreadsheet of that season's sales by the 'number of games attended' column. Do ticket stubs if you have to. But let's not pretend that this membership thing is needed or a good idea. Scrap it. Scrap it now.FOOD/CATERINGIn this day and age it's absolutely criminal to be served up such dredge as catering. Note I've not mentioned the pricing at all whatsoever here. I'm talking about the food and drink you can get at games and the (lack of) quality of it. It's crazy. It's 2016 ffs. Don't mess about tickling this issue. Steam in and flipping SORT IT OUT. If the caterers aren't going to start selling our fans proper quality items then it's time to simply flip them off and get someone in who can. But stop beating around the flipping bush with it. GET EM TOLDWEDNESDAY PLAYERSort it out. Get it sorted. Fix it. Sort it out. Get it sorted out. Make it work. Make the company that produces it make it flipping WORK. Complain EVERY SINGLE DAY until they do. Make their lives a misery until it's sorted. Take them to court. Sue them. Whatever it takes. Just SORT IT OUTFUN/GOAL MUSIC/PLAYER DAYSGoal music - FORGET IT and never ever mention it againPlayer days - do them every two or three years not every two or three games ffsSinging section - get it sorted out and try it. Stop discussing it. Just get it trialled.Any other fan organised 'fun' - make sure it's properly organised, prepared, and delivered, having gained the support and buy in from everyone from the players, chairman, fan groups, forums and Facebook groups. Just plan it, organise it, sort it and try it. Those who want to will join in on the day Those who don't won't. Neither side should whinge at the other.REPLICA SHIRTSDead simple this one. Get the replica shirts for next season ON SALE IN THE MEGASTORE ON THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON so our fans can wear them on holidays and during the summer like they want to I'm sick of us beating around the bush on these issues. I'm sick of reading stories of fans forums and steering groups that sit and discuss these issues year in year out year in year out.Time to just sort it outThanks Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenney Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I agree with most of the points. I think priority for away/cup tickets shouldn't go with season tickets. Just a free for all. Tickets go on sale to everyone at same time. Were all equal fans that want to go. Why should one person with season ticket get priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 If Blackstar is Neil I'm gobsmacked at his post, feels like he's actually having a go at the WEDNESDAY establishment ! That said, for me he's got it absolutely spot on ! - can't see most of it happening mind, but it should...... WOW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Membership is a good scheme. That should stay. No No it isn't Nothing you can say to back it could beat 'simply let the season ticket holders have the benefits and then prioritise the pay on the gate fans via ticket stubs etc' Simply NO REASON for a membership scheme Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I can't argue with most of that The membership possibly - but that is only because I would enhance the benefits of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
