That makes no sense. If we go up it will be even less Saturday 3pm kick offs.
That makes no sense. If we go up it will be even less Saturday 3pm kick offs.Only way I’m renewing is if we go up. 7 Saturday 3pm kick offs all season has ruined it, the odd mid week game is fair enough, quite enjoy it under the lights etc , but the scheduling has ruined it for me. Not the clubs fault I know. But the football on a Saturday is part of the weekend routine for me, I’ve got enough going on in the week.
Nice one, cheers CVDJust edited my post with a link to an article mate
We are renewing x4 from Hampshire also. The midweek games can be a stretch getting home past midnight but still worth the effort.Me and my lad renewing. The non Saturday games kill us living in Hampshire but it is what it is. We love going so make the effort. His first ever game was our last in the Premiership so he's desperate to see us go up.

Increase is bound to happen. The same staff working in admin or behind the scenes hourly rates would have gone up in line with nmw (or salary reviews) and add in employer contributions pensions etc and other costs passed on from other stakeholders. Therefore the cost is passed onto the consumer (us) to either ensure same price points or make more of a profit.Why does Doug need to increase prices? When is the new TV deal coming in? He said that would change the way clubs look at ticket prices.
It's called business.This is money grabbing Doug King we’re talking about. No chance of a freeze - fully expecting at least a 15% increase and abolishing the cheap JSB offer

Well, I suppose we won’t be cheering for an FA Cup run next season since that’s impacted 3 or 4 Saturday 3pm KOs.
I don’t really understand why people are so inconvenienced by early or late KOs on the weekend. I understand the frustrations with Tues-Weds night games because the travelling is killer if you live outside of the midlands.
I think the cheap JSB prices will definitely go. Will still need to cater to our future support base though, so will be interesting to what level increases are made in that area.

Surely the viewing figures will be tiny if they’re showing EFL games at the same time as PL games.
Can’t imagine many people deciding Preston v Millwall is a better option than Man Utd v Liverpool
Also going to impact other sports. Blaze try and schedule the majority of their games for Sundays at 5:30pm and if they are at home on a Saturday it’s in the evening so as not to clash.That's why I think we'll see Sunday evening games as potbellypig mentions in his post above.
Like to chill on a Sunday evening and get ready for the working week so I'd find a Subday evening kick off a bit of a pain in the arse but it will be what it will be

Imagine Cov rugby prefer not to clash as well.
Going to be near impossible for clubs like that to schedule fixtures to avoid clashing when our games could be anytime from Friday evening to Monday evening
The price hike for 1 adult and 2 kids to stay in block 15 this season was huge, but that was partly due to one of my kids being too old for JSB this year. Hopefully it won't go up too much. As a side note, I can't work out how they will fit 10 EFL games into a weekend on the TV that they've said they would. Friday 8pm, Saturday 12pm, 5.15pm and 8pm, Sunday 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm and 8pm, and Monday 8pm? Unless they double up on games but surely that defeats the object of it.
There was an article recently highlighting that a number of Prem clubs want kill off season tickets - they can make more money selling game by game,See this nonsense all the time. Let’s say we sold 20,000 STs at £350. That’s £7million. About one third of what we received from ONE player sale in the summer.
Now Doug could set the STs at £250 each and still net £5million in sales. That £2million is not going to make our break our season at this point (and there’s no chance he reinvests all of it anyway), but a saving of hundreds of pounds would be massive to a struggling family.
Granted, it’s not just Doug & Coventry, most clubs in the top two tiers massively overcharge. Premier League clubs could afford to let every fan in for free every game - ticket sales make up a tiny fraction of their income.

In the premier league ticket sales are a small percentage of turnover. For us it’s about 1/3 of our turnover so it is a big deal. You can’t include the sales of players last season in to the debate as they won’t happen every year.See this nonsense all the time. Let’s say we sold 20,000 STs at £350. That’s £7million.

Inside the Premier League-wide ticket price hike

About right, too many people bought the £50 kids season tickets on a whim. Empty seats in it every week.kids prices have to increase as do adults in the family zone - too many empty seats there (Even for yesterdays 3pm saturday kick off)
i think £125 kids and £350 adult us much better - so still getting dad and 2 kids for £600
You realise we had to sell Hyam to Blackburn for peanuts not long ago to get us out the shit. If you believe that £2 million is insignificant, then it's you that is talking nonsenseSee this nonsense all the time. Let’s say we sold 20,000 STs at £350. That’s £7million.

I agree about FZ.More than £500 I reckon to
They need to sort the family zone out so it’s actually families. I still don’t understand why adults get a discount. Just have a cheaper kids ticket and adults need to buy with a child.
Hopefully more tickets where a lot want to actually sit (near the away fans), will mean it’s less of an issue this season.
