Looks like it'll be a sell-out for the Exeter game... (2 Viewers)

Depends if they have just moved back and the fans making a big deal out of ticket prices being too much although I am sure some may think up new reasons not to go now they can't use the price line.

The club should state now that everybody should keep their stubs and IF we get futher along and at Wembley then the people with the most stubs will get priority.

I agree Nick. I am being realistic in that we won't fill a 32k stadium for this game. There is work to be done with the fans (potential also - which is what the first game back clearly demostrated), and a price drop is a start. A clear marketing strategy for the rest of the season, including a pricing strategy would add clarity to the Club's intentions to build bridges (as mentioned last week) - many cannot just pretend that the events of he last 12 months or so didn't happen, and we are not back to "busines as usual" as before. Keeping ticket stubs for future big games is an obvious thing for them to do and should happen - even cash them in for half price tickets for a league game if we don't make the latter stages of the JPT.

Consistenly sniping at fellow fans for not attending games does not constitute a marketing strategy.

By the way, I think I said earlier that I would be going to the game - makes the 70 mile round trip more bearable now that the ticket is cheap

But I thought ticket prices were the be all and end all? Some people seem to have very short memories on here.

I for one have never said that - pricing is part of an overall marketing strategy (which is what I have said consistently).

I bet you did against Crewe in Feb '13...

Yep. And I'll do the same again.

I've been the same with all cups. Doesn't interest me until we get further in to it.
It's all about the league.

 

[Covstu]

I remember the Burton game a few years back, what a non event that was! Never seen a game where absolutely nothing happened until the end!!

 

[covcity4life]

its early round of JPT, no sell out i doubt. for any club anywhere one would imagine.

doesn't mean its a negative thing.

why are you blaming all attendance dissapointment on the fans and not the clubs cock up with tickets and queues?????

nick you cant just troll because you own the site.

It cracks me up that people somehow resent fans who go to big games that sell out. You know if that didn't happen then they wouldn't sell out right??

People go to big games because they are a good atmosphere. Wembley would have been a bonus but primarily its for a huge game and atmosphere.

Everyone needs someone or something to moan at though don't I.

ticket prices, stadium, atmosphere, signings, all a bunch of whiney little girls

You have missed all of the posts about how the club can improve i have made then?

You can't troll either, no matter how hard you try.

Im a ST holder and go to 75% of away matches , would i not be entitled to a ticket in the regional final without "stubbs"

im too nice a person to troll.

you keep bringing up fan excuses 247, do you really think jpt early round game is an event where this is relevant? burton was a fiver, no one went crazy when that attendece was low. we all knew it would be.

p.s im going to the game.

Nobody was going crazy about how expensive tickets were then though?

The club should have things in place to get them sold as easily as possible. No messing around in the shops, send their website back to the 80's where it belongs and get something that works.

The club shouldn't give fans excuses if they can help it.

i think the fact the club keep making statements about making it more affordable shows that they know their pricing is wrong and fans are right to moan.

I really would love to go but work miles away from the City in weekdays making getting there on time very difficult.

Effing annoying ...

 

[steveo1987]

What if my pet badger is sick?

Haven't seen badger for ages. Is he still about?

Yep, he's about a foot and a half.

If it is a sell out which I doubt it will, once again the fans won't return

That was the best penalty shoot out I've ever seen, well worth the £5 just for that!

They were all great pens, nearly all of them in the top corner. And Murphy's penalty saves.

It's the JPT, people aren't interested in it until it reaches the business end. Watching a glorified reserve game against Exeter obviously isn't going to attract a big gate. But it looks like most people on this thread are just relishing immaturely taking the price cause of low gates as an argument to beat fellow fans with, even though they know that the JPT early stages is unattractive. The sense of superiority from the self-appointed Superfans is enough to make you gag.

It terrifies me when I agree with you...

dont think i have ever agreed with you NLHWC but thats spot on

ahaha great timing

Back when Grendal was called KDuffy, we used to say that if we agreed on something, given how opposed we always were, it must be true. But seeing as we haven't agreed for about three years, maybe we could make that our "thang"??

yeah! there can be no counter arguments if we both agree on something. its now a SBT rule.

And if RFC and Sky Blue Kid also agree with us, the universe will implode.

I think if you are a fan of a club you should be bothered about every game. At £5 there is no reason why 20,000 cannot go.

Gutted. Turns out I'm not a fan then. Anyone want my season ticket?
I've still got a sky blue ribbon tied to my cock too so if you can get it off you can have it.
