Is This The Future Of The Reebok?

Football is currently overpriced, I think we can all agree on that. Even MickBrown. And let???s face it, it???s not going to get any cheaper.

 

Those of you that have followed my work these last few months will know that my company were in negotiations with BWFC to buy a private box at The Reebok for a season. Sadly, we could not get them to drop the price to the required level and we walked away. Hence why I???m still sat in the North Stand Lower Tier with the fat gorilla???s that keep trying to get chants going.

 

During a rare lull in my busy life I got to thinking about the future of the Reebok and how it will be effected by the current trend of less and less season ticket holders and ultimately less paying customers. Do we really want to go back to the days of 12000 attendances and huge empty spaces? Of course not, so the only way is to ditch the seats and make the ground one big corporate box.

 

Oh she???s winding us up again you???ll no doubt declare but instead of throwing insults my way why not think about it for a minute. I suspect the majority of Bolton fans don???t spend anything inside the Reebok on matchday other than the price of a ticket. They probably drink in local pubs before and after the match before going home for tea.

 

But what if the only option at BWFC was to buy a corporate package? No longer could you just buy a ticket and then feck off home at 5 o???clock. No, to watch Bolton you would have to purchase a package which would consist of a matchday ticket, programme, light lunch before the game and a main meal after the game. The cost would be ??120 per person. Not only would BWFC be guaranteed ??120 for every single fan, the fact they would be in the Reebok for at least 4 hours would guarantee them huge revenue at the bar and in the club shop. They could even open up a casino or nightclub to keep people in the place ??? the potential is endless.

 

Matchday would become a great experience. No more cold weather, no more rain in your face, no more having to listen to dreary chanting, no more disgusting language, no more abuse, no more poor people wearing Burberry. Just sophisticated people like me wanting to have a good time under one roof.

 

You can mock, but one day this will be the future. And I can???t wait.

No apostrophe here. Your work is on the slide. :good:

Come on HJ, you can do better than that. It???s the way football is going, you???re going to have to get used to it. There???s no room for the old fashioned supporter anymore.

You live on the internet, sounds like a big f*cking lull to me.

 

Other than that, it was shite & I got bored halfway through.

Worst attempted wind up yet.

 

Boring.

 

2/10

I don???t do wind-ups, this is simply a vision of the future.

"no more disgusting language, no more abuse"

 

Why don't you c??nt off you insipid bint?

"no more disgusting language, no more abuse"

 

Why don't you c??nt off you insipid bint?

 

haha I have nearly had a pop a few times today but I remembered your advice on a thread the other day Carlos...basically, to ignore her / it

 

I see you cracked :D

I love the slant you put on things, brilliant :good:

 

but, are you standing on your head while typing and thus talking from your backside? :roll:

 

Just a thought like :pardon:

The only thing i got out of that was i notice you sit in NSL which answers my question to why certain sections looked less full than normal,

bollocks to TV and cost, its because you fuckin sit in there you pleb

 

"kick women into footballs"

"no more disgusting language, no more abuse"

 

Why don't you c??nt off you insipid bint?

This would normally be valid for a warning :angry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But not on this occaision =D>

"kick women into footballs"

 

Please don't tar us all with the same brush. I am embarrassed!

To try and keep this on track, how many of you actually spend a decent amount of money while at a match? I???d be surprised if it was more than the cost of a pint and a burger at half-time.

This would normally be valid for a warning :angry:

But not on this occaision =D>

 

It doesn't qualify as a normal, valued poster :good:

Natasha listen,

 

The comparison you make between ''ordinary'' fans and the corporate brigade does not bear any relevance, since they are entirely seperate entities, and for your benefit here's why:

 

Your ordinary fan is spending his/her own hard earned dosh.

Your coporate supporter is spending his/her company's money.

 

There is a big difference and here endeth your current wind up.

 

And by the way, BWFC probably failed to reduce their price because they spoke to you.

Speak for yourself love. I'm loaded.

Sorry I got bored reading the original post just so I know what I am replying to this is a thread about fat gorllias taking over the world as in Planet of the Apes and making the Reebok into a giant casino as they couldn't get a licence from Tony Blair to build one at Blackpool ? :-k

yep no balls, sorry, your not all bad eggs!

 

maybe its just deepdale dick

perhaps not the whole ground but i can see what she means! :-k

 

if attendances keep falling like this past season then perhaps a more corporate approach is needed!

Varied corporate options available thus keeping the money coming in!

 

At Croke Park (Dublin) they have different grades of corporate facilities available ie big multi nationals like Guiness have a huge box that costs an absolute fortune! but smaller local companies can still have a box all be it much smaller and not as flash!

According to the fella i spoke to at Croke Park when i had a nosy round thats where their money comes from to pay for the multi million redevelopments that have gone on!

not sure how these facilities would fit in the reebok. but the theories the same!

 

Ideally i'd love a 40k half stading and seating stadium packed with passionate wanderers supporters roaring the team home! but as can be seen already corporate facilities is what brings the money in!

 

when you take out the language designed to wind up other posters and over blown statements she kind of has a point!

You???re wrong actually. BWFC have several hardcore supporters that would make sure they were at every game even if it cost them ??5000 a time.

 

Given the choice of ??120 per game or no BWFC the majority of the hardcore will opt to pay.

 

Without the riff-raff and hooligans at the game the richer element of Bolton and surrounding areas will flock to the Reebok, replacing the fans that can???t afford the new rates.

that is the best reason i have ever heard for not allowing women into football games, they just dont get it that is what football is all about, stick to bringing up the kids playing with dolls and prams, and leave the sport to the men.

But you keep turning up sweetheart.

heres my bird i take to the Reebok and sit in the NSL, everyone's after sh@gging her :) planetoftheapes.jpg

Perhaps they should have tiny windows at various points round the stadium so the poor people can get a hint of what they are missing out on and maybe they will realise they are just lowlife and either top themselves or disown their families and try to start a new identity. <_<

 

Or maybe the poor/common people should just be shot so they don't clutter up the streets with their grubby presence.

 

DEATH TO EVERYONE WHO IS WORKING CLASS OR HAS LESS THAN 20 MILLION IN THE BANK !!!

 

Oh FFS !!! =@

It is a good vision for you but people complain about the price now they are not goin to stop complainin if you put the price up to ??120 even with all the extra's you are talkin about it is just not possible.
