POTG have been been treated appallingly with nothing to entice them to go .In fact they have been driven away by the prices Now.. If the momentum of season 1 had been maintained with promotion all this issue around prices would have been buried BUT that’s not the case. We have gone the other way Suddenly due to failure and a pandemic prices are a massive issue . Fans are disgruntled ( even season ticket holders) Now there lies a big big problem. If loyal die hard season ticket holders are disgruntled What about POTG fans who have felt like that since the prices rocketed? Well they aren’t disgruntled because they don’t care anymore. They have been priced out for years and they certainly ain’t coming back to see league 1 football unless there is a very substantial reduction of POTG Completely agree. It's a 6 hour round trip for me so POTG the only realistic option as I can't attend every game. I've been charged £36-39 a game to date, told if I can't afford it or don't want to pay, don't attend. This doesn't make me feel welcome. It was a case of Chansiri saying he's investing money, so should I. However, my money is hard earned and limited, I wasn't given millions by my dad. Hopefully POTG prices this season will reflect some common sense. I want to be part of the club and feel welcome. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I return to the city generally is to visit family. I've been put off by the POTG ticket prices when I've gone so just done Park Steels or other Non-League clubs instead! It was £50 membership for cheaper tickets. Not worth it for someone like me And I resent stumping up so much money for a ticket because I didn't pay for membership!

No mate it really wasn’t .. suggesting in their for credit to be redistributed to those who struggle from those not really needing it. fact we have 3 cup competitions to play in this rounds likely to be £10 a match so that credit could see larger crowds for these games — really positive approach by the club to allow credit to be used for home tickets. Prices that on the whole are healthy .. slightly more than last time in the division a decade ago! Allowing for inflation thats a reduction on Milan prices. looks at the positives! That and football back open on the 6th August. see I go games. And to put it into perspective itis 180 Euros for a cat 1 ticket at the group stages of the Euros .. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I've got family in the area too. I looked at membership but wasn't worth it. I don't like football enough anymore to go anywhere else, if I stop with Wednesday, that's it. In truth, I always promise my daughter we go to the first home game and we will, ticket availability permitting. How often we go thereafter depends on price. Chansiri can rip me off for one game, or offer realistic pricing and encourage this customer and his daughter to attend 6-10 games over the season, buy overpriced tat from his shop and overpriced beverages etc on a match day.

I guess positive topics are not allowed, but negative repetitive posts can be allowed to duplicated all the time - if they support an anti owner agenda. Poor move by admins on the site, very disappointing. Your topic on the season tickets being released has been merged into an existing thread on the season tickets being released.

Animis Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 DC and the club's historically benchmark was the 2015-2017 promotion push prices which were one of, if not the highest in the Championship. These prices have barely moved since 2017. A reduction now, in L1 is hardly a case for celebration or congratulations. Measure these prices with the other L1 clubs when they are announced and we can really see the value for money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Just renewed for my seat in the North Stand and will use the credit for cup games.

Agree. I can understand the need for caution and some control, where necessary. However, if restrictions are removed on 19th July that includes social distancing as far as has been advised. Therefore not sure how the government could impose restrictions on attendance without the necessary legislation (which we've had, but is ending) to back it up. I'm not against some measures to keep people safe, but don't understand how attendances would be limited in August if unlocking goes ahead in July. I'm sure someone will be along to educate me shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought they should do say 75% to point holders with the remainder being a lottery linked to membership/ST numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
