MY ONE QUESTION (1 Viewer)

[wince]

Lots of people have talked about they would have give up , but for Mark Robins , so if he is going to be given the tools as Fisher said, why is the early bird finishing the day before we are allowed to sell/ buy players ,surly if the manager is going to be backed (as Tim has said on local , national radio/telly and at the fans forum)why not extend the early bird so fans can see things changing and not charge them extra and thus discourage further from renewing , when Mark Robins starts to take shape his winning team (pre/early season) why discourage the doubters floaters , if he is going to be given the tools, the money as Wembley proofed will follow (that is called business sense ) after all Tim doesn't bluster

[Nick]

The early bird is always extended

 

[wince]

is it

 

[wince]

so why say it

 

[stevefloyd]

Ha ha early bird....Robins

 

[sw88]

It's a valid point. But like Nick says, more often than not they extend it.

 

[ccfc92]

so why say it

Maybe to get some people to rush and buy them, so there's some income over May/June?

 

[wingy]

I'd hope it is on this occasion to avoid the situation last year and all the other years.
To drive the income at the right point so Robins knows the parameters and recruits early, avoiding the scenes of last season and many others where we're recruiting well into September.

 

[torchomatic]

is it

Yes. There are two guarantees in life; extension to Early Bird prices and an Oak Furnitureland sale.

EDIT: death too, of course, so there's three.

off topic SW88 I use to go to 80% till last year away games your updates are spot on and very appreciated

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Yes. There are two guarantees in life; extension to Early Bird prices and an Oak Furnitureland sale.

Always used to be Ciro Citterio in the olden days.

 

[wince]

so what percentage of season tickets holders renew after the deadline to the percentage that renew before ??

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Fair question. Reckon it's as much desperation as anything. Reckon we've got close to our target for early bird season ticket sales for, what, the past 15 years?

I don't know but you would have thought people would have bought them whilst they are cheaper.

 

[wingy]

Possibly 80%/20%?

 

[torchomatic]

Possibly 80%/20%?

Yeah must be something like that.

 

[wince]

That's my point NW, six of us not renewing but if the team started to take shape or the tickets had been reduce we would in all fairness be in , but they haven't shown us what we are buying into and then penalise if(highly unlikely ) we like what we see again no business sense

Nothing certain but death and taxes...and an extension to early bird AND oak furniture land sale.

 

[wince]

Maybe to get some people to rush and buy them, so there's some income over May/June?

That's a fair point but that's what the clubs overdraft is for

 

[ccfc92]

And Oxford and Cambridge will get to the final of the boat race again

small print pretty irritating - if you want to reserve your current seat specifically needs to be done before the 18th May

 

[wince]

LOL thought you saying I was a cu- t

Again business sense

Given Sisu's / Timmy's history , you'd have to question anyone who gives them a penny UNTIL they prove they will back M/R .

 

[rob9872]

I refuse to give my opinion. I was lured in expecting a single question and he had the blatant shameless cheek to ask three.
