Folk about moaned about the club's perilous financial position for several of the past few years. They've complained about how badly managed the club was and now that the current owners are trying to run it as a business, they're getting moaned at too. I think Ms Brittan et al have sat down and considered it for a long time to work out what's the most they can charge without pissing too many fans off, whilst also selling them as cheap as they can realistically afford to. That's why they're more successful in business than most of us. (Obviously we've some senior captains of industry on here, so that bit doesn't apply to you) This year's ticket is cheaper than last years. Last years ticket price could have got me a cheap week away all-inclusive somewhere warm This year's price won't get you a weekend in a caravan. It's all relative. At the end of the day an adult and an under-18 can watch games for the combined pittance of £11.91. Jesus Christ, they might as well open the doors for free and fuck off home until the money runs out.

FFS, don’t buy a ticket if you’re unhappy. Some whining fuckers around...

If these owners had not stepped in it was a possibility we went out of business 20 months ago. The theatre/concert analogy is not relevant as our football club still had to cover wages and overheads the same way it would in non-covid times. Season tickets are a huge part of the revenue for a L2 club. They could make it cheaper for supporters but then we would not be as strong on the pitch and you would probably be moaning about the team being poor. Make your mind up, either you want a team that can get back up the leagues or you want a cheap matchday experience and probably see BWFC stay in the lower leagues ? I'm happy to pay a bit more for the former but I also understand that not everyone can do this.

£16 a game for me and my lad. anyone thinking those prices are too high has a big cow pat where their brain should be.

Attaboy

Thing is, that notwithstanding, no one had to buy a season ticket. Folk did so safe in the knowledge we would miss games, but for greater good of our club. Doesn't add up that they would do so, and then subsequently complain about the level of discount.

Can't grumble at all. Don't know what was expected. The club has had to carry on paying wages despite obvious income dips. Some cuts no doubt but wholesale furloughing was impossible as football has been allowed to continue, as I'm sure we're are thankful for. One thing is for sure, we won't have made huge profits to fund large drops in season ticket prices, and our owners aren't billionaires. They are however appreciated by staff and liked and respected by fans. They certainly seem to "get it" and have brought fans, the club and the community together- did anyone see the feature on us, Everton and Leicester the other day? We had the choice of refunds but chose to leave the money there: don't quite see the point of doing that, then expecting loads back. After where we've been I'd rather have these owners and another season in league two than some boom and bust merchants.

Aye, it’s a good-un

It's predominantly south asian around there these days and as such probably quieter than when I was a kid. This community may have some questionable ideas on porchwork and a penchant for blockwork over greenery but it's daft (more?) to suggest their presence 'drags' a place 'downhill'... I grew up around there and myself and my peers were little bastards. It's a lot quieter now. I'm not far from there and any 4am door hammering (at mine) would've been ignored or answered with pickax handle in hand. Anyhow, best not to speculate.

Last one probably shimmied out wearing a sequinned glove, threw its trilby across the farmhouse then did the moonwalk. That Ben Fogle did a program with them and she was a bit fresh with him iirc. Her old man mentioned he'd, unsurprisingly, had to have a hip replacement, perhaps he is now relegated to watching and wankin' in a wardrobe and she was sounding old Ben out? He did another one with some statuesque ex-pole vaulter who was involved with some older bloke. They openly admitted they got others involved in 'stuff' he wasn't up to anymore, and it wasn't just archery and tramping about the wilderness they were on about. She really was cracking on to Fogle. In both cases he seemingly demurred - the big posho fanny.

I fully believe if they could make them cheaper they would.

that was more "live action theatre" than anything on television

I would never think you would say something of that nature. Takes a special sort of person to stoop that low you do have to question the parenting I guess if I’m fact they knew he was out. But even so it’s tragic and nobody should meet that sort of ending out on the streets at any time. Society is a worrying place and only getting worse i suspect a varying set of events will transpire as usual.

I paid for my season ticket for 4 months before sadly I had to give it up due to Furlough because it really was a choice between paying for something I will never use or eating, so I do not expect anything back because I did give it up but I did pay 4 months purely because of my love for the club, I am happy to pay full price next season is what I am trying to say

You must be Jeff Bezos with your business mind and time travelling machine to the Coca Cola cup games

Money isn’t the problem great prices but if you have to dick about providing tests & wearing masks no thanks

Nothing good ever happens between 4&6am. Nothing.

I told you that, Spider, you bloody cheat!

I like my women to have at least one of each

Jesus wept. Twenty years ago Rod Stewart would've been clinging to her leg humping away like a little tartan sex-crazed macaque goblin.

One thing we agree on for a change.

Goes upto 100% if we win 😂😎

All religion is complete and utter bollocks. If it all came about now you’d be sectioned for spouting the completely made up, unproven fairy tale bullshit in the matter of minutes. Can’t say I was happy at my kids being told god created the world etc at their school when it’s just a normal school. No he fucking didn’t.

Fuck the red twats, I hope they go pop

Right religion. First off, I have no problem with the community side of it, the hope it can bring and the togetherness for families no issue whatsoever. That being said a few things that bother me. The bible, I think the bible is a book tales to set morals and not to be taken literally. Disregarding science, age of the earth, dinosaurs, evolution. Ridiculous. The Catholic Church run like a fuckin Mafia. Religious martyrs killing people to get to “paradise” Hypocrisy. It’s all nonsense. The world would be a better place without it.

As a means of suggesting people just be good to each other, and to set a basic way of encouraging decent morality, it would be fine. The message most churches I’ve ever been to tends to be “look after each other, don’t shit on folk” Thats ok, you know. I like that. Unfortunately, the rest of it is absolute and total bollocks mixed with a sinister undertone of slavery to a message.

Its all bollocks.
