Season Tickets

This is more or less what i am suggesting, although my £10 per game season ticket is another 15% rise, we are starting from a fairly low base. How long did the £149 price run for. £230 for a season ticket is still well below many teams in our league. Also how many owners are actually pumping money into their clubs in league 2, now the national league is a different matter, sheer lunacy. One of the big clubs in that division will surely end up with egg on there faces.

 

I'd agree that our matchday 'experience' is probably in the top 20 or 30% in the division, given that we get to watch the game in a superb arena with some pretty decent views of the pitch.

Aside from that though, the atmosphere has been flat for the vast majority of the season, most away teams bring next to no fans which doesn't generate much of a 'big game feel' around VP and beyond on the day and in the run up to the game. Our league position, the league we're playing in, the running of the club, questionable signings, questionable personnel amongst other reasons mean we've pretty much lost our identity and there are so many empty seats which just give a dour feel about the place on a matchday.

Compare this to when we were pushing at the top end of League One, or on our cup run(s), the whole City, VP were buzzing, pubs were full and buzzing.

At the moment everything about the club is just flat and it cannot be argued, surely, that the current matchday experience is pretty damn shit.

 

I suspect many of us are paying more than 10 quid a game already given the true attendance figures.

 

The last two match experience has been right up there despite the results

 

I’ve been to 4 games so far, so whatever that works out per game

 

£50 a game

 

Can not remember how much us 25yr paid this time

 

I guess when the cost of product is so low you can justify wasting it.
If the cost was double would it make you attend more or not buy at all?

 

Not a budget issue though. It was a manager that didn't show shite from shinola

 

No, most expect Rupp to pay for it.

 

Exactly my point. It's only the football that spoils it. Pay more, buy better players now we have a manager with contacts, and that will change.

 

The match day rating is just guesswork isn't it? My match day is spent hauling myself to my uncomfortable plastic seat with the minimum permitted legroom, knowing that cramp will be setting in very soon. I've got my flask of coffee because if I buy anything from the kiosks my kids don't eat for a week. My pre-match entertainment is watching City 'warm-up' that ends with that clappy thing the players do that's supposed to engender some togetherness with the crowd but I find fake and hollow. Half time entertainment is a man wearing a bandana forking the pitch and if we're really being spoilt the sprinklers come on. This week we were treated to some distance figures on the pitch with a microphone making indecipherable noises. I knew one of them was Edihno only because someone had read that he was in town for some charity match. I didn't know one was Duxbury until I read it on here when I got home. The PA has been like it for years the club are in denial about it. I disagree about opposition fans as well. I was at the Exeter game where their fans never shut up the whole 90 mins. Still ravaged by cramp, I have to keep my wits about me down Midland Road where crowd management entails putting people and fast moving cars in the same area. With any luck my cars still in one piece and I can make it home safely.

Depends who signs them Dave. Under Adams, Trueman, Bowyer, Stuart, Collins then absolutely not, collectively they couldn't have picked Messi out of an under 13 line up.. Under Sparky, who knows. He's a draw just to play under him. It will be interesting to see in the summer for sure.

 

I rarely get to all games due to work commitments. If it was a lot more expensive then I would reconsider buying but need to to keep my seat

 

We knew Adams was going to sign players 'who needed a chance', it's never been a secret, and that's what we got.

You're right, they have mostly been terrible.

But as you say, it's NOT a budget issue, and I don't know why we have a thread here talking about problems with our budget, to be honest.

 

£199 for the standard of football weve seen this season is expensive. Appalling product on the pitch. Hopefully now we will see some positive change. 15k fans at £199 is surely a strong budget to rival others in the division. We keep hearing that it’s about quality of recruitment. We simply got this wrong with the style of footy we’ve tried to play. Get players in to suit Hughes brand of football. We should have enough budget to do that since the majority of players are out of contract anyway.

 

Still a lot less than I pay
