Carlos Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've thought about this; if they change the way they sell, introduce some additional incentives and also made the prices reasonable, I'll have one. I also want assurances that people who stick by the club will be rewarded for their loyality. If on the other hand they sell them in exactly the same way as they have done before: no real price reductions as you are getting more games, after all or just expect people to hand over their hard earned cash then not a fcuking chance.
Horwich Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 For the last couple of seasons there hasnt been a real benefit in buying a season ticket. Last season you saved ?2. This season will have been slightly more.
Sweep Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 For the last couple of seasons there hasnt been a real benefit in buying a season ticket. Last season you saved ?2. The only real benefit of having an ST as I see it, is that you get to sit in your same seat each week , with oyur mates etc. Next season, if we are relegated, and we are playing in front of 12K-13K people, this won't be such an issue. I would imagine we will be down to c8K ST holders, which will be grim. Go down or stay up, they certainly need to reduce the cost of the ST's I think
Carlos Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 The only real benefit of having an ST as I see it, is that you get to sit in your same seat each week I've sat in two places this year, one near a total prick who spent the whole game slagging off Anelka (hope he's happy now) and one near some prick who feels the need to give a running commentary on the game. iPods at football are the future.
Bigtoe Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've sat in two places this year, one near a total prick who spent the whole game slagging off Anelka (hope he's happy now) and one near some prick who feels the need to give a running commentary on the game. iPods at football are the future. I've been sat in and around that area in ESL a few times this season...and have to say seeing one or two same faces becomes rather dull and boring...I've preferred it much more moving around the ground each game. Especially the 30 odd year old turd burglar sat behind who does nowt but try and be a comedian for 90 mins...singing a circus clown song when Nolan gets the ball...first time I laughed....the 30th time was not amusing.
little whitt Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 club card ?25 then ?5 off all games will work out cheap as chips poss cheaper than ST

globaldiver Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 i do believe thats a must whether its in terms of extra discount the following season, or first dibs at bigger game tickets (ie the beginning of the loyalty scheme that should've been running years) Indeed there should be a feeling that if I stop being a ST holder, I'll have to start again from scratch. The longer you renew, the cheaper it gets, so by the time you reach retirement (if you're that lucky), you'll be at 1/2 price for good.
uriah rennie Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 i will be there more or less every game home and away
superjohnmcginlay Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Season ticket holders should be offered an big insentive after this season, say a dropped price kept at the same for 2 seasons regardless of divisions.

Think is Carlos you know the BWFC computers don't go back more than a couple of years so you could have renewed your ST like me for more than 10 years and get no more recognition than for someone who took one out for the 1st time this season.
armouredfrog Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I must admit this is the first time as a season ticket holder,due to financial restraints.?459.00 and what a season to choose to shell out. Getting to every match has been a struggle due to shite football and a crap matchday experience.I'm taking a couple of mates and our kids on saturday,taking advantage of the ticket offer and hoping that the company will make it a better ordeal. The last couple of games could decide whether or not I renew with my lad of 5 in tow.
Juan.Kerr Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Aye, I'm in. For better for worse, for richer for poorer.
Krimzon Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Nope not this year...probably not any year until I get a job that doesnt dictate what and when I work. I had a season ticket for 10 years between 1989 and 1999 and for the majority of the times there was only one reason to get a season ticket. To have a decent chance of getting a ticket for the "if only" 3rd round cup draw, and even then I spent my fair share of nights stood on the forecourt at 3 a.m. on a freezing cold friday night/saturday morning queueing up for said tickets. Back then it was my lifeblood. Like most others, Saturday afternoons and Tuesday nights was the reason I breathed in and out. Now , whats the point ? I can get to almost any game that work allows because sell outs are a thing of the past. I dont do away days cos If I can't get to the home games I can't justify going away (UEFA Cup excepted but those days are gone also). I will get a membership card again because I will probably go to more than 6 home games and so it will have paid for itself but a season ticket wouldn't and I can't afford to waste my hard earned. What I don't understand is people who can afford to and have time to go, not renewing their season tickets on the basis that the formation/style is poo. Who cares ? I go for the buzz of seeing my team win regardless of how they play. If I wanted to watch the best football in the country I'd be joining those phucknuckles down the road.
