I'm fortunate enough to be getting in the over time that funds a lot of the stuff, so I get a free pass on the sorting of. But however it's done, we will be back as soon as the government allow. Mrs Anus sounds like a good lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsMoveOn Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I only go to certain away games due to my job, but if I was a season ticket holder at this moment in time I’d be demanding my refund, and I wouldn’t be putting another penny into Chansiri’s pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Me and my son will definitely roll it over into next year. We miss our lads day out and we will still go with the hope that we will share some great memories together from games we might talk about for many years to come. Ultimately that’s what it’s about - everyone loves to reminisce about “those” moments that never leave you and that’s even better to share them with the ones you love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish those memories you share were against better sides than Forest Green Rovers. So annoys me how much our fan base is being sold short.

And that’s nearly 4 years ago. Even against Man City at home we only got a 20k crowd and that was with them filling their allocation Thanks, you've emphasised my point perfectly.

You'll get the odd one or two who cant afford it after the pandemic or who have got out of the habit (although they will probably frame it as a protest). It's not about one man, its not about the football, if people went just for the football we'd have no season ticket holders. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I am not setting foot in Hillsborough until DC has gone. I've not missed a home game for over 40 years (that we've been allowed to attend). I want the £280 I am owed, and that is it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all added to the angst to some of our fanbase........ if and when we have success again(whichever league we're in) the crowds will come back and sell out for crucial games.

If they're not going I doubt I'll be able to swing it going to the match on my own. So my choice is get mine and theirs with the credit and go if I can convince them to go. That said I feel it's reached the point where I need to register my protest and boycott until DC puts a club manager structure in place and steps back from the day to day or failing that fooks off. The current running of the club has sucked any enjoyment I had when going to matches. It's soul destroying and a toxic environment to place myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Bought a 5 year ST. Reyt pleased with myself... Not. Would happily take a refund but for the fact I meet the kids at footy. Only plus point about going or potentially going again given recent seasons... As has been muttered by Reading Owl... 'It is the hope that kills you' At least I was able to go in the 90s. Just hope the kids see similar one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 This roll-over business..... Chansiri is saying he can't pay the players cos he's had no income all season. But if we roll-over this year's season tickets to next season he'll have no income then either. Just more outgoings as we have to pay for policing and stewards etc The only new income will be a) people having to pay for the credit they used up on ifollow - that's only £10 a game from those ST holders who've bothered with ifollow b) people getting season tickets who hadn't already bought one for 20-21. Really? Would you buy a season ticket in these circumstances? c) pay on the gate. I suppose if we make a good start in League 1 some of the lapsed ST holders might start trying the odd match but until then I can't imagine many wanting to cough up on a regular basis d) income from the sales of our best players...oh wait, the only ones worth anything are being given away So... another 12 months of minimal income (minus 5 million in TV money) So much for us being the rich kids in League 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvin Parsnip Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 After 30 odd years I’m not just going to stop going because of one man. I know Chansiri said our money means or pays for nothing but that’s nonsense and we need to keep going to help finances- - I’m not good at maths but 15000 season tickets at an average of say 350 quid a pop is 5,250,000 which covers the loss in TV money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Probably do more aways than in previous years. Get to see us play at some novelty grounds, maybe POTG in home areas, far more often, so getting tickets not an issue. No need for an ST at S6. If we think it's a rip off now, does anybody see reductions after relegation? I'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
