If the instruction allows them to decide in-house, they aren’t closing their income stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if bars open, fans have a few, compliance drops and shortly after restrictions get increased. Must be really difficult to assess the best way to go.

Benny The Ball Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Could be some good news here - Being reported in Tomorrows Daily Telegraph that Premier League to bail out the EFL Clubs https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/09/23/premier-league-will-bail-efl-cost-strict-conditions-expected/ Premier League will bail out EFL... but at what cost? Strict conditions expected on support package worth up to £250m Any rescue package likely to be limited to underwriting lost gate receipts, with EFL clubs needing to provide clear evidence to that effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Argh got a couple of paragraphs in before the paywall triggered! Any mention of Premier League U23/B Teams in there? I remain hopeful the tinpot trophy is as far as they'll get but the tinfoil hat side of me still worries they're destined for league football at some point.

We are in discussions with the EFL about iFollow and how it could be enhanced and it will remain available whilst supporters are unable to return to the Stadium. Not sure where the dig at Colchester is in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane57 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 That's the thinnest thinly veiled dig that was ever dug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 With our numbers paying for iFollow and the Season Ticket holders paid up hopefully we will be in a good position this year. Be good if we could keep the good will up next season and folk pay again. I imagine this will be more difficult going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted September 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) FA Cup draw tomoz, Conf North teams who aren't playing as they are "elite sport" are in it. Potentially Colls draw Chorley but at theirs it's behind closed doors or at ours there's 600 on. Edited September 24, 2020 by Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 Did I say, a week before season started, that one of the Rochdale White was advised against buying full priced tickets as there were no guarantees of seeing a game this side of Christmas despite the current hope was for October. He was told, if he wanted to secure his seat, buy kids tickets and then upgrade later. So his 2x£50 for a season’s worth of iFollow equates to my monthly outlay.

I think he bemoaned the fact that we sold a couple of thousand iFollow passes of which the first 500 went to them (less efl’s cut) and the remaining 1500 + (also less the EFL cut) went to us. His point was that had it been an open stadium and we’d sold 2000, all of that money would be theirs less the 5% commission to the away club.

jeep Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I don't think the Colchester chairman was criticising BWFC, more about the system in place set by iFollow/EFL? I also don't think Shazza was having any kind of dig at Colchester, she's far too classy for that. I read between the lines that she was praising BWFC fans that had purchased STs and also the away iFollow match passes, and in a way encouraging them to keep buying the away passes.... I may be wrong though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm quite happy I paid full price even though I had no wage coming in at the time to help the club out, but each to their own.

Members Rudy Posted September 24, 2020 Members Share Posted September 24, 2020 Our owners literally saved us from going under and being no more, buying my ST despite Me knowing full well seeing us in the ground this year was a long shot was the easiest decision I could have made. And paying £10 a game to watch it on Ifollow is still cheaper than what I would spend on a match day FFS we’ve got a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think most folk fully appreciate what the owners have done and if people can write off season ticket payments fair play however goodwill will only continue for a certain amount of time not forgetting last year’s payments written off like I said other day no football this year most won’t mind but going further payments will get scrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
