Why should I accept that these high prices are are driving supporters away which we will never get back? Why should I accept that these high prices are potentially losing us the next generation of supporters? The kids prices are very good but if parents can’t afford their tickets to take them the cost of kids tickets is largely irrelevant. We don’t have to give super business advice, that’s not our job not matter how patronisingly you put it. We can however give customer feedback that we aren’t happy to which any business worth it’s salt would listen to and implement change. If you are happy with the above, that’s fine but I’m not and as a loyal paying customer and life long supporter I’ll have my say thanks. Widely accepted “they are obscene” by who? The ‘social justice’ lobby on here? ”Driving supporters away”! Record season ticket sales. No one is being driven away. Its the same old broken f*****n record by the same cabal of Swfc bashing moaners. I reckon the ‘silent’ majority are happy with prices and they also accept the other aspects where there is plenty of room for improvement are part & parcel of running any large enterprise. Mistakes are inevitably made! As for customer feedback, if D.C. took on board all the ‘advice’ from some of the half baked experts on here, we wouldn’t have a f*****n club. For right or wrong it’s called business. D.C. set out his pricing strategy, he was upfront how he was going to pitch it and some on here have never forgiven him even if it only affects a small minority. The pricing strategy is only one aspect of the club and as proven in the Wembley year, if there is success on the field, suddenly all the sniping & grandstanding miraculously melts away, If any of them decide to stay away or Follow their ‘principles’ or ‘Boycott’ the club, fine. As with their argument re D.C. (that there are ready made replacements waiting in the wings), well the same goes for the supporters who don’t really ‘support’. Please don’t bang the door on your way out! Edited July 31, 2018 by bigthinrob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know what direction you think we were heading before DC. Under Milan we finished every season higher than the season before. Our losses were sustainable and nowhere near likely to put us in problems with FFP We invested more in our Academy than we had ever done before - and the players that were utilised under Jos last season were the result of that Our ticket prices were affordable, as was hospitality It wasn't overly exciting (far from it under Gray) - but the whole thing was sustainable (And the Fans Forums were set up under MM too - not by DC as you mistakenly said earlier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Chairman and Manager getting unacceptable stick. The Chairman has sunk tens of millions into our club. His strategy hasn’t worked and clearly he has been badly advised but the guy has put his money where his mouth is big time. Luhakay is bring hounded by clueless idiots on the radio about an embargo. Let him get on with coaching what is still a large and talented squad. Let Chansiri get on with sorting out the financial situation. Some people should be careful what they wish for and wind their necks in. We could have a lot worse owners and managers. I run a business and invested everything I have ever made into it, am I allowed an opinion? if I ran my business the way SWFC is run, I would have lost my house. I invested in my business at my own risk for my own gain. Chansiri has done the same but with bigger numbers. I’m not trying to put him down but also don’t understand this idea that he should be treated like some sort of Samaritan or saviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds for the last two seasons are the highest since the mid-90s. if you're talking about upset and discontentment, the atmosphere at Hillsbrough last year was horrible for the majority of matches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 just a thought that's probably been posted elsewhere but don't you think all the silence from the owner and staff has been purposely done until we find out our fate on wednesday and may even be part of the EFL investigation that you cant talk about it so that they cant be influenced, just like nobody knew about Birmingham until it happened or am i talking to much sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to live in the real (football) world. Which now compared to 20/25 years ago is rubbish but here we are. Accept and move on. PS for what it's worth the biggest poo stirrer of all is @owlstalk. For all the arguing and what not that does go off on here, you have a lot to answer for. Having said that when push comes to shove you do show more common sense than others so i'll give you that.

I don’t want any Wednesday to be excluded from watching the team they love. As long as you’re ok though eh? Yep. This ain’t the NHS mate, where tha ones who supposedly ‘can afford it’ carry all the others. This is a privately run business and as with any business is priced according to how the owner / chief exec / whoever, sees fit. Are you inferring by your final sentence that maybe potg prices should be subsidised? Or are you saying that prices for potg should be dictated by the lowest common denominator, ie the lowest price acceptable to everyone. (Charge a tenner & some would moan it should be a fiver)!!! And by the way mate, the reason ‘I,m ok’ as you put it, is that I work my f*****n bol***s off a year after I should have jacked it in so I can carry on with the little luxuries in life, like watching Wednesday.
