    It's how it's always been, the current fan base is on the back of the Richmond years then the Parkinson years. It's how any club will grow.

    This would work perfectly and doesn't annoy ST holders who renewed after the deadline (unless they are idiots).

    @Bronco@Bronco you're right. Based on where we are in the league pyramid the price is reasonable to the product on offer.
    Cheap season tickets bring in the customers and builds loyalty. This in turns helps the club in the bad times. Last season proved that. Despite being absolutely shite 13,000 people still committed themselves to the coming season. And that was before the new signings and the feel good factor came back.

    I think that proves that by getting fans in with cheap tickets works. Going to watch City has become ingrained enough that even in the bad times people will stick with the club.

    Incremental increases if we're successful and progress up the leagues is fair enough, because in theory your offering a better quality product. The club can still keep it affordable because offsetting the lower price is the increase in tv revenues.

    Between now and the start of the season the club could target the circa 5,000 stay aways. They're more likely to respond to the renewed optimism and take up a season or flexi card at current prices.

    Don't be surprised to see a few ticket and merchandise initiatives with the new appointments, the commercial side of things will be a lot more proactive in the future.

    I think you're giving the casual sky sports fan too much credit.. They don't want or care about watching Live football.. They're happy to sit at home and watch football on their illegal stream, spending £90 on a premier league shirt claiming to be the biggest fan in the world.

    Just to be clear it isn’t me thats mentioned cheap season tickets for potential new season ticket or flexi ticket sales. The point as you have alluded to is targeting a a potential new audience in what was a record crowd.

    And yet despite their possession Liverpool scored two deflected goals and a penalty and with two separate teams lost the second half

    No chance of this happening, probably cost the club money in season ticket sales. Those who paid full whack will demand parity and then match day sales will reduce.

    Flexicards still available for casual fans.

    A bad move by the club if they did this.

    I notice at Guisely they had decent toilets when I went in later there were young city city supporters playing football in there. They had lots of paper towels all over the floor, making it a right mess. I told them to get out and that they were a disgrace. Fortunately they didn’t stab me!

    I agree with that, no use having deadlines otherwise. But don’t forget this clubs whole ethos now is cheapest football in the league and thats based in virtually giving them away. Thats how we attract fans.

    Again i agree with that but thats what happens when you drop your product price, the pile it high and sell it cheap. It gets bodies through the door but does limit you somewhat in the future if you have some success. To be fair i think its a fair price for league 2 football, which at times is no better than non league.

    No, the programme was very much about Stephen Darby, the people who know him and Liverpool, plus a bit about the new away shirt which City wore for the match. Nothing about City really, no fixture list or ticket details.

    Always felt that a ‘half’ season ticket to catch the Christmas market was a sensible option.

    Pitch it at just under £100.

    There are 11 games from 1st January so at under £10 a game, not prejudicing those who bought at £149, yet still offering a great deal.

    If the club could sell 500-1000 and do well on the pitch, then they are more likely to stay with the club the following season.

    I get where you are coming from but for me offering a cheap season ticket now would be a kick in the teeth for anyone who has paid full price then you'd get people not buying at full price in future seasons as they expect it will be reduced late on.I agree that we should have offered something to attract some new fans whilst they were there and caught up in the moment when they are most likely to buy a ticket to come again. For me the best option would have been to offer everyone that attended a discount either on a specific match or a few options of matches that way you could offer it as something for new fans and also as a "bring a friend for £x" to season ticket holders that way everyone can benefit and nobody should feel short changed.
