Yes pal. I get this but if you’re paying up front fora show you’ve not seen and your support improves the show , surely you are of value? football fans are part of the owner’s product and at the same time part of his market. The lower down the leagues you go the more important fans become . They’re a bigger part of the revenue stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It was a very strange thing to say.... It's unfortunately more evidence he doesn't understand how football works. It would be unworkable in reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Chansiri doesn't believe in season tickets but he apparently believes in tradition. So why did he change our colours to Ipswich kit? And why did he sell 3 and 5 year season tickets? I was happy with POTG until he put the prices up. I've now got used to watching us on ifollow for £10. Saves me loads of petrol money. Last season was the first time since 1958 that I didn't see any league matches at Hillsborough. And it didn't bother me. There's life outside football. Will be interesting to see what crowds we get when we can go back. Well under 20k is my guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 We've been getting well under 20000 for ages. Just adds on the non attender S/T holders and freebies. Hate it when I go to the match when there's about 15/16000 in the ground and the "official" attendance comes up at 21/23000. I think every team should show the attendances of people who actually go to the games. Apparently Man City are one of the worst offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear05 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think a big part of the problem is that Chansiri is a complete idiot. If we could only find a fix for that, everything would be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 A tradition that’s been part of football for how long? Why does DC feel the need to always have to do things against the grain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF all clubs attendance figures include their total number of season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobness Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but the title of the thread is a bit click-baity, isn't it? A bit surprising given who the OP is! Does DC actually say he wants to scrap season tickets, or is he just opining that in principle he's not a fan of them? I suspect it's the latter. Consider how he's also not a fan of FFP, that doesn't mean he just doesn't follow the rules. Oh, wait...

Guest Hornsby Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Again, why not do Derby's Ryanair model where you pay according to scarcity. Early bookers would get on Kop for a £5 , ground nearly full, more merchandise and booze, grub sales etc. Equally, Blades at home next year may cost late buyers £100 for a South Stand seat. But not many of those games for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
