How far do crowds need to fall until the Chansiri acolytes realise the damage he’s doing to the club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that was like a health drive as well, drink and smoke less and improve your health by paying more to watch Wednesday finish in the top 6. Improved mood and improved fitness. In the current climate it doesn't look good. The ticket prices are the same but you need a few drinks in order to stomach the football that we are serving up. = pay high prices to watch football that puts you in a bad mood and your fitness suffers as well. Need more than a few drinks watching Wednesday at the minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everythings top dollar,Real Madrid prices for a shrewsbury future,a massive spend thats nosed dived in one game,,,,as can happen if you plant all your eggs in one basketcase. The chairman gave us the option to pay lower prices for inferior players,without ever considering the outcome when those higher value players became inferior themselves once the race was run,his own words have backed him into a corner with little room to manouvre and no more hiding places, For the 1st time in its history the club no longer owns its own ground,its supporters can little afford the entrance fee,and its players cant be bothered to put it right,couple that with the fact the other mob stormed past us,29M inside their allowance over 2 seasons,and tore the league to bits and now sit less then a handfull of points off the champions league! Chansiri needs to reflect on his time in charge and where its taken us,were going backwards,and hes running the club,or ruining it Agree with everything you’ve said and I’d add he’s probably the most divisive owner currently in English football. Other clubs with unpopular owners (Newcastle, West Ham, Man Utd) their fans are nearly all combined against the ownership of their club. But with DC there’s still a proportion of fans that continue to back him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks utter rubbish and has got basically everything wrong . Only an utter baron would defend him, yet some still do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely It would be better to drop prices and fill the stadium up a bit more? It's not like you place is small We are a joke mate. This has been the same since the chairman took us over.. there was a lack of uproar as we were winning at the start and the multi year season tickets sold well. The season tickets offer a fair price... in my opinion not much saving on what a ticket price should cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 As said earlier how can Brentford charge £23-26 but us almost twice as much. Probably swap most of their squad with ours too, and they'll soon have a brand new stadium too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also taken decades to get to where they are (with very little expectation from their fanbase). We have a fanbase that demands instant success at all costs. If Brentford went down it wouldn't be the end of the world, they'd carry on doing business their way and likely get back up in time. But we don't (and haven't for my lifetime) had a plan.
