The questionnaire put in the public domain by the club alluded to higher prices being reflected in higher standards on the pitch. Whether that is intended or not, how can it not be a misleading statement? Depends how you define it I suppose, was it defined? And alluded seems a little spurious you can make it say whatever you wish. I wish we could charge £15 - £20 a game and maybe we can, but it would lessen our chances of promotion.

SiJ Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Enjoying the curry analogies. What a sorry state of affairs though. There is a lack of kormacation from the club. Really fear the worst on Wednesday, reckon the final score could be naan-nil to City. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have been better in the season 2016/17 but in the last 3 seasons (apart from the away fans) there is barely any POTGers at most games Well our average attendance in 16/17 was 27,129, in 17/18 it was 25,995 and 18/19 it was 24,429. To say that there are barely any POTG is nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interpretation that most would draw from the question is that paying higher prices will result in a higher quality product on the field. Therefore it is misleading.

Funny old world sometimes. But you wouldn't use that a business plan to get promoted. Mccabe has tried for years to make a success of it and then out of nowhere he gets lucky. No one will convince me that he brought Wilder in, to get promotion to the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't have covered the entirety of the wage increase but we would have failed P&S had we not done it. It didn't work, but it was close to getting us promoted. In hindsight, it was probably the wrong call, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. By what percentage did the transfer fees and wages go up by? How about in pure monetary terms rather than percentages. Still reckon it's a drop in the ocean compared to the rise in outgoings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leagues are littered with clubs who have thrown money at it and not succeeded. I do think he has to rethink his ticketing policy as no one is going to buy into it again. How he does that is another matter. With the club selling Multi year season tickets until something like 2035 with the guarantee of the best price per game the club has given itself very little wiggle room with the ticket prices.

Absolutely, I was only joking. It just appears right now everything they touch turns to gold. I completely agree with you, anyone who says it was a model to follow is delusional.

Mr Farrell Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nothing in the OP's post that is even slightly suprising. Just further evidence that DC is a disaster and the longer he is here, the worse things will get. Just glad more and more people are seeing the light.

They won league one at a canter, finished a respectable 10th in the Championship, went up automatically the next season, and this season are more than holding their own. You don't ride your luck for four seasons. They've managed to do this while keeping ticket prices down too. Detest them. UTO FTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still reckon it's a drop in the ocean compared to the rise in outgoings I don't have exact figures, but the rough workings are 6,000 non ST tickets per game at £33 per game. That is £198,000. Multiply that by 23 home games and you get £4.55m, an increase of £1.4m vs £23. Even with the falling crowds, we still got 5,000 extra compared to 13/14 - 15/16 too. That is most definitely not "a drop in the ocean". Edited March 2, 2020 by Minton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
