That might do for some but not me. I've explained to my little boy why he can't have it and understands it's not a reflection of him, got him on the path of valuation. No meltdown about it, I see the product, I know the price and I make a decision but it definitely should be on the agenda. It's more expensive than last seasons adult shirt and arguably more than this seasons adult shirt when you consider the VAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I am a season ticket holder but cannot make any night matches or Sunday matches, wanted to raffle off the games which I cant get to with the highest bidder paying directly to the Rainbow charity, this would be done on trust as I will not receive any money. It would not be in my or anyone else's benefit to give out my client ref number as this may be used by unscrupulous people. The club say that any sort of transaction with my season ticket without their consent would be illegal. So it means as it stands my seat will be empty not only for the opening match but all Sunday and weekday matches, which is a waste. Could you ask if there is a secure way that I can give my seat to a fellow fan (not a friend) when I am unable to attend. Reason I cant get to the matches is work and travel time.

There is a time and a place. The time for this was when things weren't progressing on the pitch and progressing in the structure of the club. Throw down your concerns here, maybe they can be passed on by the steering group, because god knows they seem to need some help doing some steering. I'm wondering if one of them insists on standing up the whole meeting. Edited July 16, 2016 by salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I'd rather we didn't rock the boat too much. I'm prepared to have a shirt that I don't like for a season if it means we have an owner investing in us and getting us back to where we belong but I would like to know his logic behind charging £42 for a televised Sunday 4pm kick off game.

Maybe he's going for the kind of fan that's not you, constantly flipping whinging about it. I almost feel it's a shame you were gifted a bloody seat.

Guest mrbluesky Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 One simple question for me is "what is the reason for high match day tickets?" I`m sure he`ll give the honest answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philby Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Agree with a lot of what has been mentioned already. For something different. Are the club happy with the state of the pitch one year on? Will the issues at the end of last season be avoided. Will the first team having to train on it have any negative effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Would be interested in the role that the commercial manager will have at the club. Will he be mainly dealing with transfers or looking at the bigger picture, kits deals, off season commercial incomes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as simple as that. I swear, if some people weren't gifted a free seat, they'd not turn up and still whinge.

PEARSON Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 3 hours ago, StudentOwl said: You're misrepresenting the argument on two counts. Firstly: These are the costs for the opening day fixtures for this season. Do you think it is right that we are charging 25% more than the second highest chargers in that list of fixtures (Derby). Because in no planet is that OK. The average cost of those other games' cheapest tickets is £25... we are charging 68% more than that. Is our opening Championship day product worth 68% than the average Championship product? Putting all pride for Wednesday aside, is a justifiable and fair price to watch Wednesday 68% higher than all the other games in that list? Secondly: Going on last seasons' prices at Leeds, you're wrong. Getting a ticket in advance as an away fan for a Category A game at Elland road cost £37. Furthermore, when buying on the day of a game, only the best areas of the ground in Elland Road would have cost £40+. We're in a situation where now even the worst view in the ground is going to cost £40+. Thirdly: Since when has "Well Leeds did it, so it's OK" ever been something that's said on here with actual sincerity?? I am absolutely astounded that people are defending this. 68% more than the average price for Championship games and 25% more than the next expensive ticket, for a team based in one of the poorest areas in the country. If this label had anything other than "Wednesday" attached to it you would all be laughing and/or outraged at how utterly stupid that pricing is. Great post. Yet some people will still not admit there is anything wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 As the contract with Sondico is in its last year. Can we have adidas but with the original logo. It would look fantastic on a retro shirt next season for the 150th celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I think it adds insult to injury to have to fork out at least £42 for a seat - and then have to put up with that atrocious, and euphemistically named, 'band' on top . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Didn't DC mention the other day that in light of the European vote that everything had to be reassessed? The Leavers might get him chucked out of the country. Dam these foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
