2021/22 Season Tickets (now with poll)

I think the issue is the club don’t know what the government restrictions will be come the start of the season so they are selling them blind, just like we will be buying blind

 

I think the reason it dropped to 60 was because of complaints that it was 65 when women could retire at 60. Issue was just after that the retirement age for women then moved upwards. It was probably decided to just leave it there rather than constantly messing every 6 months as the state retirement age gradually creeps up

 

Indeed. It doesn't stop at 66 either, younger people have to wait until 67 or 68. They just need to decide on an age and stick to it.

 

If you try and book a holiday in this country or hire a caravan or motor home, you'll find yourself paying a lot more than in 2019. Holiday companies or individual landlords aren't holding prices because of the last 12-18 months. As for the investment by Rupp, he's backed successive managers who've totally mismanaged his money, I wouldn't blame him for tightening the purse strings and making Sparks raise his own funds.

 

Yep just read this morning that the holiday companies say expect holidays to be dearer this year they've had a hard 12/14 months they are making the customer pay more because of the limitations with regards hotels, flights ETC.
If Stefan is not prepared to increase the player budget then it has to be funded by extra sponsorship or a rise in season ticket prices as I've said I think the coming season would be a bad time to increase the price, but as I also said is I am lucky enough to be in a position to pay any increase, some may not be.
Ryan said the club hope to have better finance with regards sponsorship, which he will know all about.

 

I suppose there’s never a good time to increase prices but the definition of insanity and all that.....Where I agree with @Fordy117 is we need to change the mentality. Completely rip up what we’ve been doing for the last 10 years and start acting like a club that wants to move forward. At the moment and certainly under Rhodes, it’s been about limping from one season to another, high turnover of managers and players, poor off the field services etc, etc. All very amateurish. Hopefully with Sparks we can start to act and perform like the professional club we’re supposed to be.

 

Blxxdy hell that’s a false statement didn’t we have five years of progressive improvements including promotion a major cup final a great FA cup run and two tilts in the play offs to get I to the championship I don’t think even on here there will be anyone who wouldn’t accept that for the next five years

 

Has he?

He certainly didn't back McCall (or McCall certainly didn't spend it ) and I doubt Vernam, Crankshaw, Watt, Canavan etc are costing a fortune in wages.

Let's also not forget the huge sell on fee we are receiving for McBurnie and the fact that it was his negligence that has led us here.

 

Depends if it's prime Irish beef or imported Ethiopian

 

Its actually a 33% rise !

 

Suppose it is a cost/benefit decision and the club have decided to stick to that age, maybe they are following a trend across other clubs?

 

Perhaps we should do what those brands have done and go "online only". Boohoo or Asos could buy us. It would save a lot on stadium maintenance and we could play home matches on grounds like Manningham Mills, whilst upgrading the Ifollow package to a premium level with multi angle cameras and real commentators. The future of football !!

 

Whilst accepting your general point, fhat's the past and no use to the future. Its just like the election results today, people vote with their feet to the ongoings right now.

 

Read yesterdays T&A. That gives the biggest hint possible that prices are going to go up, stating the majority of the 6,000 responders have agreed to a price rise. If that happens then I have no complaints at all as the the club have at least sought opinions on it and had a very healthy response.

 

WHU is 65

So playing devils advocate, if ifollow was to continue with the same terms when fans return, you could actually see away teams limiting away match tickets to 500 and instead pushing fans to ifollow.
That can’t be right and is the reason why the home club should get 100% of the revenue from ifollow passes.
