Striggy Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I know this gets done to death every time prices are announced, but it is the opening home game and will command a higher price. The club (Chairman) could be called robdogs and any other such insult you can sling at them, if they were charging these prices to generate bigger profits for the benefit of greedy shareholders, but that is no the case is it? The Chairman said he will invest as much as he can, but we as fans will have to do out part, and the best way to do that is to invest in the club by paying slightly higher prices whilst getting to watch better football (last season excluded of course ). We could go rattling tins at Rotherham's ground I suppose but that would be tinpot, literally! We can't surely expect a rich sugar daddy to keep feeding us and give nothing back in return? An unpopular stance maybe, but just my humble opinion. Bring on the season, lets get cracking. "nobody told me there would be days like these!"

Ticket prices have been the highest in the clubs history but season ticket sales and attendances have been highest for years. Same with replica kits With this in mind how can anyone say the fans have not backed the Chairman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob 13 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Really feel for the fans who have to pick and choose the games they go to because of financial issues. These prices will make it even harder now and with membership prices having their pants down can see walk ups dropping by 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Fail to see how extortionate match day prices will convince people to buy extortionate season tickets. I'm no marketing guru, but that model doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation, yes. As per my previous post, we are on the cusp of a big issue. 000's of 3 year deals are due for renewal in March, and another season like the one just gone and DC may be going into bat with Boycotts mother in laws celery stick.

The point I am trying to make is he is not robbing or fleecing us to make money for himself, or to pay large dividends to greedy shareholders. He has set out his structure to invest as much as he can in the team with the aim of promotion to the Premier League. We have attracted a better class of player than we have for a long time, some have worked out, some have not, and we came close, but ultimately failed. Money, investment and dreams cannot guarantee promotion, just ask Villa. We all know what the score is, and although this season we might have to trim our cloth a bit, we need to stick with it.

If you are wanting guaranteed success for your money, and the Chairman's investment then i think FIFA or FM computer games are they way to go. Life's not like that, he set his stall out, and had a good go, but fell that little short. We now need to consolidate and get ready to go again. The alternative to the fans being fleeced (or doing their bit) and if FFP would allow, would be for the Chairman to put more and more of his own money for little return, but then again these days it seems that everyone wants something for nowt, for someone else to pay.
