That was generally seen as a big success. We were enjoying our best season in years with a huge feel good factor. We would get nowhere near that any other season including this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Isn’t it renewing time very shortly for ST’s? If the EFL issue hasn’t been resolved, good look to our marketing team to sell it to us to buy one. I can also see a price rise too, considering they were held at the same price last year. Feel like this probable points deduction will be the straw that broke the camels back and the uptake will be way down on what it has been. Added to which the sheer amount of dismay and empathy that is clearly evident in our fan base. Edited January 1, 2020 by Shifty Powers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a price rise by business logic because of the multi deal I don’t think there was one this year however and proves what a total plank DC is when it comes to matters like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something needs to be done to get more people to experience Hillsborough. Maybe not today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support this club receives is unreal Nearly 2k for Brighton as well after Christmas, watching the second string is ridiculous The away support and 21k+ season ticket holders have to be applauded - sadly it seems they are taken for granted Wearing very thin for me now.

The only way to get part-timers like myself** back through the gate is by reducing ticket prices permanently. **because of the ticket prices, I am now a part-timer. I went to more Bradford City home games last season than I attended Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loyalty of our supporters leaves me in awe sometimes, I admire the qualities of the people involved - going to watch us at home every other week isn’t a walk in the park. Yes, our crowds have been similar over the last 30 years. But I think there are a few important points to consider: 1) Thirty years ago football crowds in general were lower than they are now. Our average home attendance of 27-30k in the early to mid 90s was up there with the highest in the country. 2) For the latter two of the last three decades, we’ve been utterly crap. Crowds have been understandably low. 3) The fact that we have 15-20k extra fans that turn out for big games means our support is potentially huge. Not many clubs have this volume of floating support. The current ridiculous ticket prices are stopping this floating support being tapped into to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
