Dick_Turpin Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 28 minutes ago, Portia said: Chansiri's first full season saw 22,641 average attendance, the second season saw 27,129 average attendance. A 4,488 increase, this wasn't across the board. That first full season is really interesting. We played the best football we've played in many years, we qualified for the play offs and got an average crowd similar to Dave Allen levels. The reason? Rob dog pricing I imagine reducing what should have been a booming POTG figure. Subsequent rises were driven by a season ticket increases as STs were the only way of seeing Wednesday regularly for anything approaching a reasonable price. You increase your average crowd at the risk of alienating or even diminishing the wider fanbase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daavies; Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2021 I can't afford it right now and there is no way on earth I'm paying extra for waiting until Februrary to renew like normal. I'm not being financially punished for not being able to afford the money upfront with a few days notice. Its a disgrace. First time in 18 years I'm not renewing next season, more out of spite than financially. This is the straw that broke the camels back for me. I'm sick of it. I really thought we might have turned a corner in the summer. Guess I was wrong. #ChansiriOut. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will see this as unaffordable due to the close proximity to Christmas and some will see it as perfect timing for a present. You don't have to buy one before Christmas anyway, I'm sure it stretches until January and then you'll still be able to buy one right up to next season. With regards to affordability a seat that cost me £455 three seasons ago now costs £365. Chansiri has his faults but he can't be accused of driving fans away when statistics show an increase in active fans since his arrival. For example the last time we were in League one we got over 16K on a Saturday against MK Dons, this season we got over 18k against MK Dons on a Tuesday night. We are league one now. That's like buying a Volkswagon one year then five years later buying a lada and saying, "but look how car prices have come down." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for me is that if you can’t afford to pay for one before Christmas, after been given 4 days notice, you get penalised and have to pay more for your ticket.

Whats the increase in attendances across the whole of football in the period you’re discussing though Without context what you’re suggesting is meaningless if you’re holding it up as some great achievement if other clubs are doing the exact same and it’s a trend across most clubs Plus - you’re not taking into account the massive sales pitch if a bigger brighter future (which many bought season tickets on) that actually turned out to be relegation, embargoes, free transfers and not refunding our own fans Of course attendances will go up if you make promises like that But they will also fall once you’ve been found out and people aren’t as gullible to it anymore Play fair here. Show us the stats m, the trends, the data and the current actual attendances (we know of many season ticket holders gave up even going to games in recent times) 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower average currently than the first season you quoted for him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay after December and prices are increasing to £415. That means its an extra £50 if you can't pay it all outright within 4 weeks. There's 3 people in my family, all who can't really fork out that outlay right now, so that means the club are trying to fleece us for an extra £150 collectively because we need to wait until January payday at the earliest. Its an absolute disgrace. This might be the worst thing he has done to our club. This is hitting me in the pocket which makes it personal, and quite frankly, I'm not accepting it. Screw him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
