RumbleOwl Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I have no horse in this race, as I have no intention of buying either at the early bird price or the later, higher, price. From an objective viewpoint this looks and feels like a cash grab. He could just of easily set the price freeze in February or March as normal and there would probably be more uptake than there will be in December. So we're left with the question as to why he's doing it now. The only logical reason I can see is that he needs the money. It's no secret that he didn't pay the players for several months, but not only that he didn't pay the office staff either. Threats of a(nother) points deduction looming and no money in the bank the best way to get cash in up front is to sell early season tickets. The repeated assertion that it's for "the loyal fans" is rubbish. He could easily reward the loyal fans by another route. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A balanced view would be asking why we are feeling the need to front load cash into a business by selling season tickets for the next season (that nobody can use till next season) just four months into a season 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they can moan and whinge because something isn’t perfect for them. Chansiri has the fanbase worked out and it’s sad to see. Can you explain how its a deal? A "deal" usually involves some form of incentive such a discount or gift. There's no such incentive here, only strong arm tactics of buy in the first 5 days or the price goes up considerably. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘price freeze’ isn’t set in stone you know ITS YOU THAT SETS THE PRIZE FREEZE DATES CHANSIRI He takes us for absolute mugs and actually gets away with quotes like this because not enough people read it then analyse what it is he’s actually just said Look again at this quote Its unreal when you analyse it I must have missed it when loyal fans asked him to bring forward ST sales to BEFORE Christmas. Chancer using the term " loyal fans" makes my pi55 boil. ALL fans are loyal, not just his precious ST holders. Yet again he is having a dig at supporters who for whatever reason don't or cant buy season tickets. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, so it. or you don’t want it or can’t afford it. So don’t do it. Simple. Some fans probably can't take advantage because they're waiting to be refunded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Von shabba Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 As I see it, the issue here is the timing of it, given the his past dubious history. Why December for a short period and not February for a longer period, we're not half way through the season ffs. This could have an adverse effect, it has with me and look at the comments so far. It will be an incentive for some and that's a personal choice but given his history, can't help thinking it's more than it is. The guys's his own worst enemy but it's out there now and some will take up the offer, not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) If, as a lot think, its a cash grab to cover costs...Its not gonna get any better is it? Its going to carry on, get worse and end in the inevitable. This is the bloke that got us relegated through financial mismanagement, Its not simply affordability, its a bloody worry I'll buy a season ticket. In fact If chansiri had come out up front and said Wednesday needed the money..i would have got it Friday I'm blaming him for the things he's bloody responsible for..No buggers making stuff up Edited December 5, 2021 by asteener1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because DC's history with us as a club and his relationship with the fans has been a glowing friendship. I wonder why people have an aversion to him, don't trust him and don't like him in charge of the club. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren’t giving him money, or taking money away in the form of a refund, he questions your loyalty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Even if it WAS well intentioned to let our fans buy next years season ticket just four months into this season it was an absolute CLUSTERFUCKKKK of an execution and a TOTAL PR DISASTER And still doesn’t explain lack of finance options when launched Either way - total MESS Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 All that reads like the price is going up regardless of what League we’re in? So why would I buy next week to get ‘League One prices’ when the price is going to go up a week later regardless. And then up again next year. His argument about it being a reward is flawed by the incremental increase this month. There’s no justification for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says so on the official site in the small print of the recent ticket offer that season ticket prices for next season will increase according to the current standing of the team Not sure anyone spotted it but it’s right there on the SWFC site 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
