Me too, I was shocked at how high their prices seemed. They must feel there are some disenchanted Rovers fans in Clitheroe looking for a new club!

[gumboots]

It only costs me a fiver a match at clitheroe so I'll stick to that till Rovers get rid of venkys. And when rovers aren't at home I'll go to clitheroe too

Hope that's claimable for people who've already renewed! Would save a few quid on a new shirt.

Agree it's a good idea though.

Its about time they came up with incentives for season ticket holders i would think it is linked to your season ticket

Great idea and not before time.  Reward schemes for paying supporters at football clubs should be mandatory.

Did you read the first paragraph?

"All 2017-18 season ticket holders are automatically enrolled into the worthwhile scheme and will earn Club Cash on all home league ticket and retail purchases."

Breezed, was more of a rhetorical one as I assumed they would do that.

It is a good deal. It's taken far too long to happen though.

[because of boxing day]

Still undecided.

Although there are some "green shoots," the owners record suggests we are still in a "smoke & mirrors" environment.

Marketing Dept efforts inviting me to buy season ticket before 1st July include a mail drop by post to home address and text message are a step forward but I will give BRFC that same 14 days to convince me that my financial and emotional commitment will be reciprocated by the Club

[Leonard Venkhater]

Won't get fooled again!

[Cherry Blue]

Went down for mine today, can't stay away, lad said sales going better than same time last year.

[Mattyblue]

Only issues in comparing with last year is that

a. They went on sale earlier this summer

b. People will be buying earlier as the early bird offer (version 2) finishes in a couple of weeks.

However I get the impression that sales won't be a million miles different than last season- admirable loyalty again after 7 years of unrelenting misery.

[RoverKyle]

I bought my first ever Rovers season ticket yesterday. Moving up to Liverpool in a couple of months, so I jumped at the chance now that I'm back in the North West.

I can understand why people are deciding against buying/renewing, considering the shambles we've become as a club. However I'm Rovers and football mad, so there's nothing else I'd rather be doing on a Saturday afternoon, no matter how good/crap we are.

I actually think we will find it easier to shift tickets this summer than last. Although the level of football is lower the chances of winning games on a regular basis is higher, and it will always be easier to sell tickets to watch a winning team than a losing one.

Last season 99% of supporters were expecting a season of hardship and struggle. It had been quite bad under Bowyer and Lambert the previous season, to then see Coyle turn up as manager and further demolition of the squad was the final push some needed to not renew. It is very difficult to sell season tickets to fans who are expecting nothing other than relegation and despise the manager.

This summer the majority are expecting at the very least a push for promotion, the majority seem happy with Mowbray as manager, and so far the only signing we have made has been an impressive one.

Bolton's attendances rose substantially despite their relegation. If we start the season well and get into the promotion shake up I'd be very disappointed if attendances weren't higher than last season.

Unfortunately,this loyalty is the oxygen for those who are destroying the club. I always remember this Shakespeare quote from my O'Level English Lit.

Mine honesty and I begin to square.
The loyalty well held to fools does make
Our faith mere folly..

I don't think so !!

 

The majority may be hopeful this might happen but are expecting anything but.

The chances of a promotion challenge are nil.

We can probably look forward to Administration, Relegation and Depression.

 

Another prediction like the Elton concert being cancelled

On paper we should go up but the tactics of Mowbray and his league one record don't bode well
