I’m a grown man. I don’t need an excuse. If I don’t want to go I won’t go. Tell you what, I’ve a plan to increase revenue and improve atmosphere. Close the lower tiers, move everybody upstairs and charge them all £400. You in? Or will you be, in your own words, ‘a cunt’?

Traf Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If there's no drop, I expect them to stay the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck of the draw if at home or not. If we're knocked out away in round one, cash the ticket in for a buttered hotdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go in WSU but I want the front row. I don't give a toss that someone has sat in the same seat since the stadium opened, if I'm being relocated I need preferential treatment. Sound familiar?

You could probably get a seat on that row no worries. The year we were moved we were given upper for lower tier price. I don’t see the issue. Anyway looks like they’ll all stay open so all hypothetical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the last home game in a lull in proceedings I counted only 53 occupied seats on the front row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant happen, it means putting a game on at a loss. You have to pay the EFL 20% and the away team 40%. So if 8k S/T holders turn up in a crowd of 10k paying £10 a head, we'd have to send £60k to others whilst taking £20k at the turnstile. And pay all the costs of opening the stadium and any players appearances of win bonuses. We're skint enough already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted February 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2020 Youre up against the logic that will have us selling 5k more STs, 20k more shirts, 8k more pints and another hot dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 No worries. When everyone hopes for an away tie at Man U or Liverpool its to make a few hundred grand out of it, so logically the home team cant be dishing out free tickets to home fans. I do think there could be free tickets for season ticket holders for the Auto Windscreens/Leyland Daf/Sherpa Van Trophy because no club is in that to make money before the final, every club should agree to let S/T holders in free if only to get a crowd in.

Hypothetically speaking if 10k season tickets turn up for free - the club still have to steward police and refreskments costs for the game, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you let 10k people in for free “to get a crowd on” or would you take £15 a man off say 3k folk and reduce your loss to 55k from 100k? if the answer is a no you’ve never ran a business. Which is what Football is and one with incredibly high fixed costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the question to counter that would be how many more ST holders would we gain off the back of it to afford to sub those games? I’ve no idea.

Which is what Football is and one with incredibly high fixed costs. Fair point although we all know you'd be lucky to get 50% of S/T holders turning up given that only about 75% turn up for 8pm league games, probably less. Maybe a nominal charge of £2 to season ticket holders (its only ever £5 for non S/T holders but its a gesture and for a family of 4 may be the difference between going and not going). I wont be attending anyway until Prem youth teams are removed but that's another discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
