Let's be right, the BBC extort money legally and then pay the likes of lineker fxckxng obscene amounts while at the same time expanding their extortion ring to include little old ladies who can barely manage on what they have. I do sympathise with anyone who this effected in terms of listening to games (I was amongst them) but giving into the BBC would have lead down a slippery slope and I'm proud our chairman stood up to the thieving conkers. How many other clubs took his route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.flem Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 People love second guessing everything on here. The whole Bruce situation happened less than a month ago. He may have had this holiday planned months, his kids probably looking forward to it too. His family should always be his priority. Who's to say he still isn't working as well, he'll have a phone. I'm sure he made sure contingiency plans were in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever think that the second guessing comes from no one knowing what is going on. it was only 7 months ago that he announced we were up for sale - what happened with that - are we still or not - it was never clarified. we know bullen is managing us on Saturday but don’t know if that’s because he’s getting the job or not? that would be a good one to start - “bullen will take the team whilst the club looks for a new appointment”- that would remove one bit of uncertainty straight away. i don’t dislike the bloke personally but high ticket prices appointment of lukuhay putting club up for sale turnaround of advisory staff / executives the seeming inability to commercialise normal revenue streams - boxes / advertising / kits / sponsorship necessity to sell the ground to recover from poor management of expenditure. ........All means I don’t rate him as a chairman/owner.

No amount of playing with words will change the fact that we are where we are in terms of the pricing structures in this division. There are cheaper season tickets in other areas of the stadium 10 hours ago, rickygoo said: You haven't paid for a ticket for the Barnsley game. Your ticket is for the whole season. For which the Barnsley game is included. I agree that our matchday prices are too high. However, they have been too high for many years. Before Chansiri we were far from the cheapest in the division and yet we literally never spent a penny on a transfer fee and weren't attracting players with wages either. We had a bottom 6 budget for many seasons in which we have been at this level since 2000. At least he has tried to invest in the team, the facilities and rebuilding the almost non-existent academy. He has never hidden the fact that building a high base of season ticket holders has been his intention and he has achieved better numbers than all of his predecessors in the past 20 years. In his 4 seasons with us he has funded a team capable of a top 6 finish twice and a further top half finish. How many times had we managed that at this level in the 15 seasons before him since PL relegation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes being a stand out means you're wrong. I'm not sure how much if anything Chansiri screwed out of the BBC but it was a misguided battle. And if you think an organisation that is rolling over to tickle the Tories' tummies is left wing then we'll agree to differ on that too. All opinion of course.

The rhetoric that comes from the BBC is always left wing.

Chansiri's stand was pretty shabby I thought. I can see why people like him after all the poo we've had over the last 20 odd years. But there are some fundamental things I just can't go along with.

So you think the significant increase in season ticket holders has come from completely new fans or do you think his drive has persuaded a fair few POTG fans to become season ticket holders?

You can have a different perspective on different actions but when it's the same thing it makes you look like...well I'm too polite to say.

I have no idea. A mix I guess. He's made a business decision - ST good. POTG - not so good. Other clubs have chosen different pricing strategies.

The Government does. In real terms the TV licence fee has gone down since the 80s. If football had done the same you'd be paying less than a tenner a week to get into Hillsborough.
