The poor little darlings, I bet they're crying into their off shore bank accounts. The simple fact as DC has pointed out more than once the boxes aren't paying their way, so he's had to increase prices. Surely the business community can appreciate how capitalism works.

No queuing at half time for a beer, no chanting or pointing fingers at other fans. Executive boxes aren’t for proper footy fans. I have been in Exec Boxes for matches a few times and in all honesty it is a crap way to watch a match. Would rather Wednesday offer competitive pricing for the prematch meal options with tickets in the South. Get the function rooms full and generate some atmosphere in them.

sonofbert2 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Do away fans buy in? To be a bit clearer, do the boxes regularly sell to groups of away supporters? Edited November 14, 2017 by sonofbert2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they even redevelop whole stands purely in order to accomodate more of them 16 minutes ago, mrbluesky said: also thought the corporate side was to bring in prospective sponsors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that after years of getting a very good deal which the club simply couldn't maintain. Some of the corporate fans have decided to walk away which is their choice. Some of them as is their right are now stamping their feet in fustration and are complaining/whinging on social media. Much better for me as I can now gain access to the corporate gangways much faster after the match. Every cloud eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopswfc76 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This thread should have been locked after the opening post. Whats the point keeping it open if people can't post there version of events? If people are just stating facts then nobody can be sued for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 When I look at a conflict situation I always try to see it in the "other man's shoes." I sort of get where he's coming from with this and although I don't agree with his actions or the way it's been handled it all comes down to money and probably more in fact to status within and loyalty to the club. Amidst the selfies and backslapping and the revelling in the new dawn with his new money he probably thought, "Hang on a minute....." He has thrown out the challenge to those lording it up for years in the corporate areas to put their money where their mouths are unconditionally for that right and to "the cause" and when it came to the crunch they hid behind contractual issues and fuckedoff to Rotherham and Huddersfield to act the bigshot. I'm guessing that this is how he may see it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopswfc76 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 But if x amount of box holders were told the same thing it's pretty easy to prove surely also wouldn't every business request details in writing when spending that kind of cash?

I don’t know what the pulled posts said. The libel laws are stacked against ordinary people. Sometimes they can’t afford to fight those with deep pockets.
