Hasn't the price gone up a little bit since the last phase though? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time however freezing at the final pre-Christmas band seems fine to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused at the pricing Before Christmas - the one where the club gave everyone 5 days to find the cash - that was the cheapest price Since then they've gone up a bit haven't they?

Manwë Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Phase two was pre-Christmas as per the Julian calendar, just to make sure that every denomination was treated equally. I think they've done it really fairly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otley Owl Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 6 hours ago, McRightSide said: But they complained they went on sale (not the prices) before Xmas and that people would have to pay more after Xmas And now they’re on sale for the same price after Xmas Thats good, no? But there are still complaints. So does that mean it was a good plan to start with? SWFC: Here are cheap season tickets to buy, you have a few days before Christmas to buy them. Some fans scrabble to buy them / can't buy them at the cheapest price / (reasonably) complain. Early January: Oh only kidding, you can still get them at the same price for another week or two now. Fans: err, eh? Genuinely all a good plan, no reason to complain? Great stuff from the club again? Or another mess? I wonder how much all of this is worth to the club in actual money to the club, compared to being looked at as yet another basket case moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it in a nutshell Smacks of incompetence at the very best The only people shouting people to shut up are the 'I'm alright Jacks' In reality it's been a god awful move PR wise, killed a lot of the goodwill built up pre-chansiri's return, and this new announcement just doubles down on it 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think though that the club has got this latest release wrong personally though. Not forensically checked the whole of this thread so not entirely sure that folk are shouting people to shut up. I'm certainly not despite my own opinion on this.

briggowl Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 9 hours ago, WorrallOwl17 said: seems to me like they're freezing the prices from the phase before Christmas? The phase where they tried to pressure fans to part with hundreds of pounds a week before Christmas and within a few days of releasing the prices? So after all that pressuring fans to part with money before the most expensive time of the year the prices are just the same now? Or am i misreading it and got my phases mixed up No that's the same price I paid on the last day of last phase 30th Dec. Hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Easiest way is not to fkin get one , had enough of the shambolic running of this football club, the owner does not deserve the support this club gets after continually shafting us time and again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices aren't the issue - the execution is Yes I agreed earlier on the execution pre-christmas. Personally I'm happy that this release is no better or worse than the third pre-Christmas band. If they'd been increased at all there'd likely still have been flak. It seems to me to be a sort of concession that the pre-Christmas release was flawed.

The damage is already done really having put pressure on families or single parent families to stump up pre-christmas to get the cheapest deal To then turn round today and say 'ha ha look!! we were kidding!!' is a bit pants to say the least Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you broke your back to find the money before Xmas at what you assumed was the cheapest price you wouldn’t be slightly pi55ed that you could’ve just waited till Jan ?
