And at this stage, there is nothing we as fans can do to change the current status of FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 For balance - On the facebook groups the bundle deal has gone down well so far Ultimately how successful this is will be totally down to how many are sold obviously but looks like some fans are taking a glance at it and giving it the thumbs up Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 At least they're trying. Just think they have an awful long way to go before they'll earn the fans trust again. Of course, a few wins wouldn't do any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoSWFC Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I would love to take up the 6 game bundle along with the gold membership... I like to sit on the north.. and would like to have the savings a gold membership would give me, BUT the thing that really gets to me are the megastore savings! What the chuff can you buy with the discount.. vouchers for spend 70 quid and get 20 quid off, fantastic.... wait you can't buy a new replica shirt.. any new training wear? I'd buy a new shirt, some for the kids and use the vouchers but I can't. It's something so obvious but it's what's preventing me buying a membership, shirt and a ticket bundle..

tarn owl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 9 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: Those maths cannot be correct £8 saving over a 6 game bundle? I'm not convinced your numbers are correct £8 Saving for the Ipswich game. On Bundle £100, without bundle £108. So it is £8 for that game. £2 per ticket. £36.66 for us on a bundle. £27 for the pigs against Norwich on Saturday. Not right it is just not right.

Fuzzy logics Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 2 prices for season tickets - £400 regular / £200 concession. 2 prices for every home game - £25 regular / £10 concession. Watch them flood through the turnstiles to spend on food and merch regardless of what's on offer n the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 My own idea, twisted to still shaft me. I work every other Saturday. So while 6 games + before the end of the season, is highly likely. 6 games before December 22nd isn't likely at all. Hope it works out for most of you.

Let's hope that's the case. Not going to happen with this current squad/ negative manager im afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial thought looking at it is that if someone can afford those prices, the likelihood is that they would have been afford a season ticket. Hopefully a lot of people will see a benefit to it and jump on board though, and the quality of football matches the fan's investment. I could afford a season ticket and would loved to have gained the savings one would give me... but the job I have I can't attend all the games. The frustrating thing is the bundle isn't quite doing enough saving wise to make me want to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's in case we start storming the league and everyone then wants to go to more games? Because everyone would pick the obvious games, and seeing as the likes of the pigs game will likely sell out, yet you don't have to commit to the game nearer the time, how would it work logistically - what tickets could you put on general sale etc? Plus, they know they can charge £40 odd each, and it will still sell out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
