Popular Post Dutch McLovin Posted July 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2023 How do we as a fan base protest again the ridiculous pricing ?? He thinks he had a done us a favour by paying 440 at early bird - that is too expensive. What he has done afterwards is downright disgusting. We need to come together as a fan base and show him this is not ok. How ? 13 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheffWed Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Don't worry you'll get a certain one or two coming round, having a go at you for suggesting something like that. I don't think we'll ever stretch to a protest, as a fanbase i don't think we have it in us, we've had so much crap chucked at us in the past and carried on. I do agree i think something needs to be done, but i just can't see a protest happening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to be able to afford to benefit from the early bird season ticket but I will stand with others in getting this ridiculous guy out of our club.

I care. The first thing that needs to happen is STOP alienating people Stop grouping people into ‘Alright Jacks’ and ‘Core Fanbase’ because this is where you are failing before you even begin We all want everyone on side yet group people into factions This is where your protests fall apart before they even begin. Some people want to protest by staying away…immediately you’ve created yet another divide in the fan base with the ‘stayers ‘ and the ‘leavers’ People want to go to the football. It’s their hobby, it’s their routine, it’s how they socialise and it’s what they do on a Saturday afternoon. By putting them in a box, you’ve failed before you start…. Because people immediately think that these people ‘don’t care’. And while everyone is arguing with each other, the price hikes continue. 28 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having that. I was there on the steps of the South late into the night when we needed to get Allen out, and so were many others.

fpowl Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 He’s seen they loyalty and numbers we turn up in especially last year and gone full on for the fans pocket with complete disregard to the financial hardship many find themselves in He expects the fans to make up revenue for him when he could actually be more tactful in the transfer market and have a policy of selling players or generating revenue himself I know there’s early bird offers and I know there’s ways of financing tickets but this is over the top outrageous pricing from a man who’s taken us backwards as a club during his ownership He says he will sell if the fans didn’t want him but I’d be interested to know what he needs to see from the fans to hear that concern my guess is our season ticket sales will be ok but the POTG sales will be terrible this year and be at least 20% lower than our league one season Sheffield club not seen the premier league for over 20 years and I bet we’re in the top 10 highest priced club in the country including premier league and London the man wants to be ashamed he’s taking the club away from the loyal supporter 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire on that if you want but it won't buy you a mars bar at half time of the Southampton game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
