Absolutely spot on. Plus our so-called commercial and corporate departments are an utter disgrace and this must also be costing the club a small fortune in lost revenue, the same small fortune that DC is lumping onto poor merchandise, potd prices and ST’s but yet there are still people on here who prefer to attack those who speak out about these prices, just spouting utter bullsh1t about lack of loyalty to the club.

I said next Saturday and good for reading that they charge £20. The thread is about season ticket renewal and not being able to afford prices. Hence my post.

SiJ Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Tell you what... If season ticket renewals do drop (which looks pretty likely going off what we've seen thus far), then the club is surely going have to give ticket prices a serious rethink?! Worrying times.

torryowl Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I think if you have to ask others whether to renew or not and it depending who the manager is then it seems to me your hearts not in it and picking your games is probably a better option .......

Would you be happy to pay higher prices for a guaranteed return every week? Where would the excitement be in that? The beauty of the game - and this league - is that anybody can beat everybody, and we see that week in week out. And that's why most love watching football. I will be there on Saturday at Reading hoping for - not expecting - a win. And I'll enjoy the beer afterwards whatever. Oh and, by the way, I pay over £40 per week for internet/TV and it is never consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleblue Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Season ticket holder for many years , first year of Carlos was a dream, loved every time I came up, cost me about a £100 pounds with fares and food, couldn't make midweek matches as no transport to get back, second year of his tenure was boring, was not going to pay the cost of a Season ticket for this year when I couldn't get to midweek matches, and I thought that if the footy was as boring as the previous year, be better off giving it a miss, I am so glad that I did, watched that snore fest last night, we were lucky, could have had 2 players sent off, passing terrible, tedious. Will not renew until Carlos changes tact, or leaves, would rather the former, but if he wont change then get rid.

Good question. If I were him I certainly would not increase prices to make up the shortfall of income. IMO he needs the fans goodwill more than anything. He will make up the shortfall by spending less on wasteful transfer, having seen what is possible at Huddersfield and Utd. He also should realise that the policy of buying "proven" championship/premership players on v high wages does not work and he needs to mix in the promising ambitious young talent that other clubs seem to uncover.

Game by game tickets for some is the best way to go if you don't fancy the gamble or the price is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
