They've complained about how badly managed the club was and now that the current owners are trying to run it as a business, they're getting moaned at too. I think Ms Brittan et al have sat down and considered it for a long time to work out what's the most they can charge without pissing too many fans off, whilst also selling them as cheap as they can realistically afford to. That's why they're more successful in business than most of us. (Obviously we've some senior captains of industry on here, so that bit doesn't apply to you) This year's ticket is cheaper than last years. Last years ticket price could have got me a cheap week away all-inclusive somewhere warm This year's price won't get you a weekend in a caravan. It's all relative. At the end of the day an adult and an under-18 can watch games for the combined pittance of £11.91. Jesus Christ, they might as well open the doors for free and fuck off home until the money runs out. Absolutely spot on sir. I hope we can reward Sharon's faith by backing this very fair offer with similar numbers to last year, whatever division we're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I would guess that if we stay in this division we'll shift 6k-7k season tickets, if we get promoted 9k-10k. Iaminanyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2021 Can't grumble at all. Don't know what was expected. The club has had to carry on paying wages despite obvious income dips. Some cuts no doubt but wholesale furloughing was impossible as football has been allowed to continue, as I'm sure we're are thankful for. One thing is for sure, we won't have made huge profits to fund large drops in season ticket prices, and our owners aren't billionaires. They are however appreciated by staff and liked and respected by fans. They certainly seem to "get it" and have brought fans, the club and the community together- did anyone see the feature on us, Everton and Leicester the other day? We had the choice of refunds but chose to leave the money there: don't quite see the point of doing that, then expecting loads back. After where we've been I'd rather have these owners and another season in league two than some boom and bust merchants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen anything about this anywhere ? Apart from smart people who signed up via DD and cancelled it; therefore they wouldn’t have paid for the ticket but then now can get a ticket for 2021/2022 for a discounted rate ! I think that you are right, Mr Petchy, the option of refunds was for 2019/20. The club were clear in their literature that there was no possiblity of a refund for 20/21, so caveat emptor.

Folk did so safe in the knowledge we would miss games, but for greater good of our club. Doesn't add up that they would do so, and then subsequently complain about the level of discount.

He fell asleep and the taxi took him back to his house near Hulton Park. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Folk are getting the discount and the actual price/subsequent cost per game mixed up. Its not the fact that it is relatively inexpensive, it’s that those people have not been fairly rewarded. Two different things. MMW if the dross served up pre Xmas had continued then they would have done more. Edited May 5, 2021 by captainmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 People will always find fault with it and not everyone can be catered for. Personally very impressed and hopefully people will back it (which is seems they have done). we all wanted a sustainable club and this is my they are not being dished out for free. hopefully a decent summer recruiting players for a serious push will show we are on the way forward. well done BWFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeBWFC Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I haven't had a season ticket for a number of years due to the number of games I can actually get to, saying that with iFollow this season I have really got back into watching us an at these prices I will probably look to buy one, but as I still won't get to go to most home games are there any ways I can donate to the club to offer season tickets/tickets to those less fortunate? I know I can donate to the club in otherways, but want to make sure it goes to something like this. On the discounts you do also have to factor in iFollow, season ticket holders got this without further charge for all home games, which equates to something like £210, couple this with the discounts now offered and for single adult tickets this means it cost £24 or £87 extra for last season. Yes this diminished if you buy more than one ticket but for some last season would have seen a profit over watching every game and paying separately. I know ifollow isn't great but it was the only option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 My issue isn’t with the price of a seat per game compared with other clubs, non-league, cinema, pub, etc. It is decent value. The cost isn’t an issue for me, I am fortunate as I can afford it My view is that some ST’s such as myself who have supported the club for donkeys don’t feel as though a £35 discount is fair when we paid our money upfront to support the club when it was most needed There are different views and the club has to balance these off and only time will tell - if they get 8 tho, then they will have made the right decision Back page of BEN today “Whites offer fans reward”. That’s not how I see it and a more balance view of this debate would be to look at the other side. The BEN has taken the press release from BWFC and simply cut and paste Iles says inside that we were given a 10% discount as promised. I never saw that mentioned last year. He also says we were offered a refund but that was for the end of 19/20, we have never been offered a refund on 20/21 its really important BWFC keep as many ST’s on board as possible. I think FV have done a great job so far but why could we not have been consulted like we were on the fans survey with regards to the 19/20 refunds I’m sure there are other long standing ST holders who feel the same way but whose view isn’t been heard either by the club or local media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
