My lad was lucky enough to be picked end of last season. Ground tour, meet both sets of players, programme with signatures, play on the pitch before game, walk out with favorite player, photo in centre circle with captains and officials and tickets in south stand. All in all was a great day and something he will remember for ever. Some on here will still say it’s a rip-off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Well done to the 10 clubs that don’t charge, keeping with the original ethos of being a club mascot rather than who can afford to be a club mascot Why oh why junior members / junior season ticket holders are simply not drawn at random across the season I don’t know. These young people together with young people who have generally been dealt a sh it hand in life should be the mascots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to draw at random from junior season ticket holders as my lad was mascot for a game against Ipswich about 10 years ago at no cost. Obviously stopped doing this now then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club cant afford to give a young un a match ticket and some snap before the game , summats wrong. There is no justification for changing kids to be a mascot.

Everyone has a choice whether to be ripped off or not. Those who pay it clearly think it’s worth it..... their prerogative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which price is extortionate......... the VIP package at £500, the standard package at £200 or the free one at .... er .... £0?

Seems like something for everyone there! To anybody with a reasonable view of things, both the VIP package at £600(not£500) and the standard package at £240(not £200) are extortionate. But if your happy with those prices that's your prerogative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To infer I am blaming the club for having to impose VAT is just a bizarre statement by you. I wouldn't know if there is a waiting list ( not sure you do) but that's not going to alter my opinion that the costs are extortionate. I'm going to leave it now; we'll just have to agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Dupowls Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 It’s outrageous. 20 games at £200 plus the odd £500 is a measly £5k per season, or to put it another way, 1 days pay of many of our better players (£35k per week). Bit more if there are several mascots. Once a mascot you’re a fan for life.....it should be free. Things like this go down very well with the fans. When you look at many of pricing structures at the club they make absolutely no difference to the bigger picture (or dent the wage bill), so fill the ground like today, take more in food and drink and get the kids in, they are the future!

This is the type of bizarre financial strategy this regime has run since the start none of it stands up to scrutiny if you apply the equation of just what does the OTT price get you a few weeks of urby ; a small percentage of Abdi's medical bill ; a contribution to melo tram pass ? the amount wasted and I mean 100% wasted is far and above anything gained by charging ridiculous prices for everything but in so doing affecting the connection between fans and Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
