Their crowds dropped back again to 20k last season, so they’ll soon have less income from having more fans than in 2015. Back to us, do you think keeping our ticket prices among the highest in the division while the standard and investment in the team has been in decline for the last 3 years is justified?

Also consider in that equation 'Loss leaders' on season tickets v fan spending on food, drink and merchandise and not forgetting to include Monday to Friday losses on merchandise if match day spend increases. We were a season ticket family of 8 which has been reduced to 6. Two adult female members have given up not on the pricing issue but rather due to an increasing amount of vitriol espoused by an increasing number of fans who find it extremely difficult to understand that results and performances are not under guarantee ! 2 people who were interested enough to buy season tickets stopped buying tickets because some fans had a different opinion to them?

Let the facts speak for themselves and people form their own opinions rather than pushing an agenda in what should be a factual statement. It is a fans group voicing their opinion in relation to the facts they have presented. What is the agenda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we have investments in the team when our wage bill is 164% of our turnover. Until than % improves, which hopefully will be very soon, we can’t afford to drop ticket prices and ultimately Matchday revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they enjoyed watching Wednesday so much that they regularly bought season tickets but rather than the prices or the quality on offer, it was the voices of a few fans near them that stopped them doing something they enjoyed so much?

The fact that our wage bill is so high is 100% down to those who run the club and they are charging the fans a high price with a low return for their mismanagement.

I might complain, I might move, but if it was something I enjoyed doing so much with my family it would not be the deciding factor in me no longer going to watch my team.

This is just about acceptable, its probably true but its a blanket statement without any empirical data, better to have said "out of 1,000 fans polled 90% felt prices were expensive"... 2 hours ago, SWFC Trust said: treats fans as engaged partners in a collective endeavour and less like a cash machine 2 hours ago, SWFC Trust said: The situation regarding 2019/20 refunds, which is rapidly becoming a fiasco ...this isn't really the right tone when you consider this is apparently going to the club... 2 hours ago, SWFC Trust said: The Trust and its members stand ready to engage with the club on this issue. ...and undermines the final message. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, seems strange to reference it in a thread where we are discussing our high pricing structure as a reason for a decline in numbers. Reasons like this one will be a very small minority in comparison to the pricing which is the crux of the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
