I’m not exactly Alan Sugar but they’re gonna need to sell about 23 shirts per fan to break even at that rate. Not saying that it makes economic sense - just that it shows how far out of step with reality we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally struggle with the cost of keeping our 3 kids coming, and they are aged between 21 and 8 (I know, I have no right to critises anyone else's breeding habits!) But 4-11's by the forest website £10 for a full season ticket, or half free with junior membership (£25). I work with red dogs and sheep shaggers and have boringly talked ticket prices at length. I was under the impression for £25 red dog junior membership, your season or half season pass came free? Plus not to many 23 year old couples have kids age 4-11? As noted, I've no agenda supporting our prices, but the example you quote suggests you have? Our prices are dog poo I don't think anyone would argue against that.

DC’s gamble took us to within 90 minutes of reaching the Premiership and the most exciting year of football I can remember for a very long time - we are currently in a mess but so many fans seem to have forgotten very quickly how very close he took us. Bad advice has a lot to answer for. I really don’t mind the prices and would pay more if we were playing the football we were in that first season but won’t be renewing as things stand, but I still have to give DC credit for that season and hope in time he can get it right.

I think people don't mind paying (to a certain level) if the product it there. I don't know how Forest can actually run the business based on those figures. £270 is the sort of price you'd expect at Burton Albion - 15 years ago. It's cheaper than half season tickets at Burton this season. https://www.burtonalbionfc.co.uk/news/2018/november/1611-seasontickets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup tickets away at Bradford. I was there too, I was one of the idiots who revelled in taking their shirt off on a cold January night at Derby a few years ago and a month later set off to Swindon at 5 O'clock on a Tuesday night, to get there for the last 20 minutes. I'm certainly older now and a bit wiser, but as Bill Shankly hinted, to some people this game we follow is very important. A religion, their main focus of the week / month / year / life. Is that being overly romantic ? Edited December 9, 2018 by Sergeant Tibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term gain, long term pain that many on here warned about when the pricing structure was brought in. You still have to get context in this. The additional revenue that said system is likely to have brought in (if it indeed has) is probably less than the combined wages of 2 players currently "Not being selected" In the context of our costs and the shortfall topped up by DC it is not significant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 9 hours ago, Sergeant Tibbs said: Has there ever been a time when the club has been so disconnected with the core fan base. We've got a manager telling us to face reality, at the same time the club are trying to sell 1/2 season tickets in the north for £325 Laughable or just downright disrespectful ? 325 quid ! It's outrageously insulting, and taking the piiss. After bleating on for three years about the the fans backing him financially, and you get what you pay for, it stinks big time.

Your original point would have been even stronger had you used Forests actual prices. Because then your young couple that would have knocked out two kids by the age of 17 would have benefited from full season tickets for; 2 X 18-23 @ £100 = £200 2 X 4-12 @ £10 = £20 So £220 overall making our prices seem even more daft. Granted it requires a solid commitment to early parenting, but fair play to Forest for having a better run club than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
