Season tickets details (28 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

You absolutely proved the point about phones. Phones are vital going to the football is not

people will snap Doug’s hand off for a season ticket in the premier league and you know it

Vile post - have you seen some of yours ffs

We're in the championship, there is every chance we will still be in the championship and maybe for years.


the phone comments was vile tory like bollocks, the same shite they come out with "oh bet they have a mobile phone so yes they can afford gas and electricty"

You talk like an idiot.

You are widely ridiculed as the biggest moron on this forum and believe me that’s not an easy competition to win.

They are jacking next year in the premier league - that’s complete bollox and you know it
Even if we make play offs people are saying they’ll Jack it in and do what?
Only reason people should Jack it in is if they can’t afford it and then mmj’s fund may help many
Wonder how many people pay £40/ month for their phones.
I get the frustration and annoyance I don’t get not going because people don’t want to move that’s bananas

wow, that’s a disgusting post

“Flat screen TV”

I think they should have given the option for parents sat next to a child to retain their current seats next season as a transitional season at family zone prices, I get what they've done but think there should be better recognition of circumstances.

 

[Ashdown]

There’s a few people gonna have Doug King on their mind today

 

[David O'Day]

Give up mate, you are a very small but loud echo in this chamber. Nobody has to move if they want to renew their present ST they can can’t they ?

You've just been proved wrong within30 seconds of posting your clueless drivel.

 

[David O'Day]

“Flat screen TV”

exactly

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I was a bit grumpy about having to move but with the increase I would be mad to stay in the same seats when I can sit behind the goal for less than I paid this year. It’s a shame they haven’t opened more blocks as others have said i don’t want to sit in the corner would like to be a bit more central.

Leeds United

Just for balance I think the club got it right price wise but then massively overthought the jsb situation.

Not selling behind the goal and forcing people to move from there is also poor. Particularly when there aren’t many options given most seats are reserved for season ticket holders.

The price rise for my ticket is fair enough and I can’t complain. However the less said about his interview the better.

 

[SkyblueDad]

You say this, however it's £300 or £350 a season for a parent to take their kid to go to football for a season.

Potentially a tenner a game for an adult and a kid. It's less than 2 pints of the shocking beer in the concourse.

You are correct, what hasn’t been taken on board is in our now materialised society youngsters have more expensive phones in their pockets than the cost of a season ticket these prices are okay and I suspect there will be ways of paying and other match day packages to be announced.

Completely agree.

 

[tskezz]

Forcing the families out of the good areas will enhance the matchday experience for the rest of us at least.

The pricing is generally decent .. they could just as easily made the JSB cost a flat rate throughout though .. I'd have paid 100 for a jsb no issue

 

[David O'Day]

Completely agree.

I agree as well, prices are less than I thought they would be but the JSB and OAP parts have been massively fucked up

 

[SBT]

Match Experience is made by the fans, isn't it?

The recently improved atmosphere in a stadium that many (most?) of our fans had written off as a soulless bowl isn’t a coincidence. You know full well that the way a club is run and the way it treats its fans has a big impact on the matchday experience. Personally I thought that would have been worth sticking up for.

 

[Evo1883]

So we are saying singers corner could become even more rowdy without the kids ..

Then people in what you see as a shitter area have to pay the same?

So if there's shit loads who feel like they have to move, just generate the atmosphere in the opposite stand.

It doesn't work like that does it

It'll be kids mostly so the older people who start the songs won't be there. They'll be mixed in with people who don't want to sing and it's not next to the away fans.

Club have tried to make the north stand noisy before

 

[Saddlebrains]

The biggest thing out of this for me is agreeing wholeheartedly with @David O'Day

 

[Evo1883]

Ah right to continue with your nonsense argument , let's all pay through the nose upto and right next to the 4 blocks in question .. the WHOLE stadium gets shafted

For some fans it's a difference of 6 seats and a stairway , between 50 and 200 quid


You COULD make the adult ticket still cheaper in the family zone , to save an argument Nick.. that's the incentive

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Doug doesn’t pay £40 a month for a phone he just uses yours by the look of it

Touché

 

[SBT]

So if there's shit loads who feel like they have to move, just generate the atmosphere in the opposite stand.

That’s a bit like saying it doesn’t hurt the atmosphere if there’s a massive gap between singer’s corner and the away fans so long as both sets of fans just sing louder.

If you make it harder to let fans sit where they want, the atmosphere is harder to generate. End of story.

Ah interesting you saw it that way it was more a perception value thing rather than Tory lite. Happy to clarify that

I hope I'm wrong but I suspect MMj's fund may not be as popular this season.

When everybody is having to pay more for their own ticket along with an increased cost of living anyway I feel like donating towards other tickets is a stretch.

I'll probably chuck a fiver/tenner in as it's a good cause but it'll be with a huge slice of bitterness knowing that I'm helping someone get their ticket while I can't afford to renew my own.

No, how much they spend on something vital has fuck all to do with how much more they think they can afford to pay to watch football.

Nothing at all and is as I said the same shite tories trot out when questioned on why people can't afford important stuff

 

[Evo1883]

We have a group of about 15 in our block

yeah and didn't joy wack a fair bit into it each year

To be fair, I look at all of the outgoings I have and prioritize and go from there.

 

[Grendel]

I think the big issue is just doing this with no warnings

The OAP pricing is just wrong. Its not acceptable for supporters who are paying that now to have it removed from them. It should have been retained for those paying it and only do the new band ruling to new holders entering the age group - the dissatisfaction vs extra revenue just is not worth it

The centre block pricing I kind of expected and that is probably fair enough

Again making the JSB changes in one swoop is not really great customer relations. Do it over 3 years perhaps but straight away in one instance just is poorly thought through

Premier thing to me is just a way of testing how many will be buying in the centre blocks as I cannot see why they would not pay the extra £20 as adults only fans. Why anyone else would pay it is beyond me.

All in all not great. Concerning interview by King in some respects - seems to have purchased the club with little strategic forethought. Is he really surprised the ground deal was a difficult negotiation? I Would guess the deal we have is poor in terms of revenue and high in terms of cost. It seems to have shocked him - which is concerning.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

So we are saying singers corner could become even more rowdy without the kids ..

I do think it'll go that way, providing they can get the numbers in plus there will be less empty seats. My first impression would be the atmosphere would get better not worse in singers corner.

 

[David O'Day]

and? a phone is more vital than a season ticket so what does it matter if someone has one?

Then you're missing my point then David.
