Miffed Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The worst thing about it is that once the habit has been broken, its difficult to go back. Im not an expert in these matters but surely its easier to retain existing customers than obtaining new ones? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Hang on If we've only sold 13,000 And if that's 5,000 less than when the season started And we sold 21,000 season tickets last season Then does that mean that 3000 people bought season tickets after the season had begun? I don't believe that for a second 7 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans are, best we've managed so far is to wave a few yellow bits of paper and put up a banner outside the ground, yes its a start but fuckme its going to take waaaaaay more than that to move this clown. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hope this thread doesn’t deteriorate into a ‘let’s bash loyal season ticket holders’ scenario. I guess many were also encouraged by the feel good factor brought about by Danny Röhl and his staff. That’s one reason he shouldn’t consider bailing if he doesn’t keep us up I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fine to acknowledge that it's a tricky situation. People are entitled to do what they like and I think keeping up contact and routine with family and friends is perfectly valid. Personally, I'm not going to judge anyone for that or even expect anyone to justify why they're still going. But we're probably going to reach a stage where the situation changes. Where it becomes clear that financially starving DC out of the club is the only effective way of influencing change. And at that point it will become "are you prepared to fund him, yes or no". Fast forward to this time next year and I can see it being a much uglier conversation. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Mixture of zero investment, no improvement on the football pitch, people hating dc and paying top end championship money or even lower end prem prices for terrible league one football. probably better waiting another full season so then at least we might have an attempt on getting promoted after stagnating again then to do this all again by getting promoted and then back into league one, very fun times under the current chairman. We are another Rotherham 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 If Wednesday do stop up they will probably sell same amount of season tickets as the season. Not sure if people are loyal or daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffWed Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I know it’s numerous things but isn’t it remarkable that 9 years later under DC, he still hasn’t got a clue about pricing. Forget everything else that this owner has done for a second, pricing out fans is unforgivable, he’s killing the next generation of SWFC fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
