is really irritating, all fans who had ST's last year have had a price increase, they are loyal and sucked it up.
But you fail to read mine that they don't need to to increase last year's revenue. Anything to keep your little narrative going tho hey?
I wouldn't take it on a couple of days in. Larger organisations would have different levels of sign offs and potentially have to onboard them as a new supplier which can take time. Not saying we won't struggle just think it's too early to tell.
This loyal fan
Corporate had been under-priced for years. There is a simple solution however, if fans think it's overpriced, sit somewhere else.
I am merely pointing out the flaws in your opinions. You clearly object to the idea they could make more revenue or you wouldn't be arguing and being so defensive when you are pulled up on it maybe you should give up.
Depends on your financial system and if you are in an industry that is regulated. Majority of companies would need to load CCFC as a new supplier. I'm assuming you have been in SMB's for your career.
I could've sworn there was a bunch of whining about kids' tickets too, so not sure where the idea everybody else happily sucked it up has come from.
If we did sell the boxes then quite categorically and unarguably the strategy would have been proved correct.. from a commercial/ financial point of view at least.
But new ones potentially could, I've worked in FTSE 100's and regulated organisations where loading a new supplier would take a MINIMUM of 2 weeks. It isn't a stretch to say they wouldn't be able to turn it around in days. Again not saying they definitely will sell just saying its a bit daft to call victory after a couple of days.
Very true, however they didn’t try to harangue the club & hold them to ransom to try and force the club to give them what they felt entitled to
Well the club did end up doing what they felt entitled to in that case...
You are ridiculously blinkered on this. Say Jaguar did want one it would take them at least 2 weeks to get through the procurement cycle. Coventry Building society the same. I would say severn trent but they probably wouldn't be allowed with their governance structures. Some companies only have monthly sign off on spend above specific levels they can't all just bang it on a card because the director/owner wants one. You have a lack of knowledge how larger companies work I can tell you know I'm not reaching at all. I will say I have no idea who will be lining up to buy but a few days in doesn't prove there isn't.
If and no extra revenue so what gain what that be?
Some larger enterprises may not have aligned themselves with the club because of the toxic relationships between club owners, council, stadium owners and fans. Very different now. For now.
His interview the other day seemed to suggest he wasn't looking at that but wanted the current customers to pay more
I'm not getting defensive maybe slightly frustrated at your previous lack of acceptance that it may take organisations more time to sort procurement. On companies willing to spend the money that is going to come out over the next few months and could well fall flat on its face. What I don't see is how we are different to a lot of other clubs selling their boxes for the prices they are. Again value for money aside, more that there are companies out there willing to spend it. When Doug was interviewed he did talk about improving the offering overall but again not sure how that aligns to other clubs. I do think the SISU debacle will have put off some businesses being seen to align to the club will be interesting now they have gone if that improves I know if I owned a business it would have made me think twice about publicly being associated.
I think it would have been daft of him to come on and say we have upped the price to turf everyone else so we can deal with other companies...
It is naive & stupid in the extreme to think that he’s not interested in new business and just wants existing boxholders to pay loads more
