frank_spencer Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Regardless of cost savings i don't know how anyone can choose to do something else if bolton are at home. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'll probably get an ST as my parents put to for my birthday present. even if i didn't have one i'd still be there.

I'll probably get an ST as my parents put to for my birthday present. even if i didn't have one i'd still be there. i can go to a pub with ?50 watch the match and have a skinful with a load of other wanderers fans( some off here) and have a laugh sat with you're mates,and still have a few coppers left after stopping out after the match. if all people want to do is go to the match then home then its not a problem,but i prefer to have an ale and a laugh after the match.
Hutch Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 If they don't decrease the prices, crowds will be the same as last year A Lancahire derby at 3pm saturday should sell out no problem. Asking Blackburn/Wigan fans as well as our own to pay ?30+ and it ain't gonna happen If we don't reduce ST prices, we will not be able to offer more realistic pay on the day prices A full Reebok would attract better players, all players want to play in full stadiums and as pointed out elsewhere, may have a real impact on our final placing (and therefore TV and prize money) We were very fortunate last season in that we got away with it, we all know that. I was expecting a real revolution during June & July with the major issues being sorted out to take the club forward. It looks like it ain't gonna happen...
Carlos Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 some people on here will say that youre a jcl just because you've not got a s.t. iam in total agreement with you,there's no incentive to go,you won't be the only one not getting one,iam sure thousands of others will be in the same boat,saturday afternoons in the pub's throughout the nation will be busy with people watching there relative teams in action. i'll be one of them and will pick and choose my matches, if that makes me a jcl then so be it. I'm 37 and remember being at a game in Feb 1976, missed one home game in Division 4, been to all the Euro aways, blah blah blah. There are some dicks out there that have spend ?3.99 on a junior ST who roar back at Lofty the Lion and think that that makes them the greatest fan in the world. C'est la vie.

I couldn't miss a home match, perhaps it's just me. Oh and stan if i don't go and say go shopping i find myself constantly checking scores on my phone and trying to sneak peeks at soccer saturday in dixons etc.
Sweep Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 The financial interest you give up is negligable.Also if you are paying each game, you might have an expensive month and find that a big game that you did want to attend - you haven't the money for. If it stays in your account you always end up wasting it on something else. Its like when you get a payrise you always start with good intentions of saving so much of it, but at the end of each month you have always spent it and can't remember what on. No you don't, you might if you're a cock and you don't know how to budget for things.

Zico Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Spunk. you swallow or just swill it round and spit it out?
Mounts Kipper Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I think bolton have got it just about right in freezing prices, the reduction for kids is also a very good idea, we need to encourage the kids to come on board, it is like a changing of the guard out with the moaners miserable and cynical, and in with the young and enthusiastic fan.
Horwich Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Boltons aim should be to sell more season tickets year-on-year. This aint gonna happen with a "freeze". No doubt it will be "spin city" tomorrow

Well you don't support them do you, you just sit in a pub shouting at the telly........

Whilst I agree about getting young kids going, if the prices are too high for their parents, how are they going to get there....and most people don't want to be in the family stand, I know I don't

STAN Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Well you don't support them do you, you just sit in a pub shouting at the telly........ don't do that either. rather watch it at home, or go round me mates and watch it.

Tombwfc Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I think the price freeze (and reduction in the NSL and for kids) is a good move by the club. Half the people who moan about there not being a dramatic reduction are the same that would moan if after slashing prices we ended up signing just Greg Rasiak and John Hartson because we'd got no money left. A PL team and PL players come at PL prices, and ours are pretty resonable.

A PL team and PL players come at PL prices, and ours are pretty resonable. Aye, but as has been pointed out before, minor variations in ST prices which might make all the difference to potential punters amount to sod all in the light of the tv money. ?50 off 15,000 ST prices amounts to a loss equivalent to the prize money obtained by rising just one place in the final league position. The price - and indeed uptake - of the ST will have no influence on the overall buying power of the club. That is a stone cold, cast-iron fact. But, as the last few games home and away showed, bigger crowds can have dramatic effects on performance and ultimately, therefore, revenue.
