Most liked posts in thread: Season tickets (Now with guess how Many Poll)

Not sure it matters with you whatever the club does to be honest, you will find a negative or something to whinge about either way. There has been enough positive sound bites in the last couple of weeks for fans to get behind. Certainly when a season ticket costs £150!!!! I

'll be very brave and say that this is one of the best value for money season tickets in the UK very easily for the level of football we're at. If you're debating over £6.50 or whatever it works out a home game my advice is not to renew.

I felt the same as you last month about lack of direction, no positive news etc but as I said, they have put plenty out over the last couple of weeks from Julian, Bowyer etc. I appreciate the deadline maybe should go to the end of the month but the fact is we are a business and every business is working to sort of budget and we need to ascertain what sort of budget we have.

Back the club.

 

All my family renewing. Quick chat with people sat around us on Saturday, and they were all renewing too

 

They'll be back when were tearing league two up, you heard it here first .

 

Talking to a lad at work who didnt renew last summer because of the way the club was run by Rahic, he has renewed for next season, so thats at least 1 fan returning despite relegation

 

I note on twitter that Gary Bowyer is ringing folk to thank them for renewing, or encouraging them to renew - what a thankless task that must be...but i hope he rings me. that'd be fun.

 

Nothing wrong, , we really shouldn't expect anything else from Mr Negative.
After the season weve had 12,000+ is a great effort.

 

Unbelievable effort after this season.

 

I wasn't going to VP due to the way Edin was running the club. Didn't sit right with me. I started attending games again in January, I have also now taken out a ticket for the 19/20 season.

 

Not if folk are unprepared to pay it. Getting 15,000 buying at £150 will still only raise as much as 11,000 paying £200 and you potentially lose sponsorship revenue by losing a bigger audience

I’m still not convinced we lost 4,000 just because of the Rahic factor. Some refused the increase too

 

The stadium would be half empty

 

Go back to what was offered season before last, including flexis, and target selling out every single seat. It's an achievable target in such a large city with plenty of time to do it.

 

Sorry, but this is rubbish. Ask the players if they'd rather play in front of 8k or 16k fans in the stadium. They'd all rather have as many fans in as possible rather than playing to empty seats. And if they don't they're bottlers who we don't want in our squad anyway.
Lawn and Rhodes are hard-nosed businessmen. They worked out that reducing ST prices and getting 15-20,000 people in the stadium was good for publicity, atmosphere and revenue (tickets, advertising and sponsorship). Hard core fans like you, I and many on this board would pay double or more and still go regularly, but many people wouldn't and the club would likely lose revenue rather than gain it. Don't you think they'd have put prices up before now if they really believed they would increase revenue by doing so? Bradford is a poor area; the cheap season ticket strategy is the best strategy for maximising revenue.

 

So why did you predict we would be in relegation battles every close season, even as we were were making year on year improvement?

Funny, you weren't describing McMahon as a 'top quality Div 1 player' when he was here.

 

Where you going Salty, North Korea?

 

Why should we be?

 

How is he depriving the club of money, if he's already bought a season ticket?
