It’s coming home to roost. Yeah, I was thinking that if sales tank (which is likely) they can just announce "early bird offer extended" and try and dress it up as some sort of huge concession on their part. 1 Quote

Popular Post Mattyblue Posted March 25 Popular Post Posted March 25 (edited) Behind the goal is now the most expensive lower tier in the ground - another cynical cash in as they see that it is heavily populated with long standing ST holders whose loyalty can be rinsed (as well as the gimmick of a few rows of safe standing). What a disgraceful bunch of people we've somehow ended up running/owning this grand old club. Edited March 25 by Mattyblue 16 Quote

arbitro Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I have read through the announcement several times and nowhere does it give prices for the Directors Box. 2 Quote
JHRover Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Does anyone reckon Steve Waggott or Sohail Pasha have ever paid for a season ticket anywhere in their lives? Quote
MB Rover Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Guess we know what’s funding Maggott’s pension pot, snake. Quote
rovers11 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Absolute no from me. I couldn't care if it was a fiver for a season ticket, the utter contempt the owners and board show the fans year on year means they won't get a penny from me. The team will be made up of below par loans and freebies next season, and a bang average manager. There are better ways to spend a Saturday afternoon imo but I respect those that will be renewing. 9 Quote
Waggy76 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Looking like a few away games and the Sky fixtures from the settee , next season. Venkys Out ! 3 Quote

They have targeted seniors for a major price rise. Is that because we have a lot of gullible seniors who are season ticket holders ? 1 Quote
paullarrygher Posted March 25 Posted March 25 150th anniversary and they've done nothing to mark it. Offer the first 1000 season tickets at £150 or run a draw to get a £150 season ticket and offer a small discount to anyone who signs up but not successful. Quote

Large sections of the fanbase are either really fed up or absolutely furious with the way the club is being run. Then they stick these prices up with a jingoistic promo video. A target of 4400 season tickets being sold is absolutely embarrassing for this historic football club, can't believe they've even said that on record, every other club in Lancashire ( + probably everywhere else) will be pissing their sides laughing at us. There are probably several clubs in league 2 shifting more than that. How can Washa and Paggott be openly announcing that. Didn't the club have almost 20k season ticket holders when the the Wankys bought the club? What do Pasha and Waggott have to say about that? Could someone ask them directly what their thoughts are on that at next forum? These Jokers are more out of touch than I ever dared think possible.THE perfect Storm is brewing for next Season.They couldn't be trying harder to push fans away. £400 in the BBE...£50 increase!😟 Edited March 25 by SIMON GARNERS 194 3 Quote

dallydally Posted March 25 Posted March 25 This is why I didn't renew last season. They are clueless. Vote with your wallets everyone! Quote

Polky Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I wonder if we’ll hit 3,000 season ticket sales next season? I can’t see it happening at this rate. 1 Quote
RevidgeBlue Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Come on everyone, that's not the spirit. Get your hands in your pockets! Emmanuel Dennis doesn't sit on the bench or in the treatment room for free you know! Quote
TugaysMarlboro Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Was Elliott Jackson at the back of the queue when they were handing out brains? The headline figure is that there's fifty quid off at the riverside. That's the headline figure is it? I wonder if he would be willing to pay that price for a ST if required. Quote
Hullrover Posted March 25 Posted March 25 2 hours ago, Herbie6590 said: Thought experiment…fans who want to renew, do so only in the Riverside. The other 3 sides become ghost towns. How long before the TV gantry returns to the JW Stand 😆 I think all 4 sides will be ghost towns. Headline figure for Riverside looks good and is the one that may well be quoted by press or comparison sites. Rest is a PR disaster with largest increases reserved for young adults followed by seniors. Would be surprised if many move to Riverside, possibly a few families where adult wants to save a bit. Might help to hit the numerical sales targets, although not helping towards the financial targets. No indication of walk on prices either, which will increase presumably to punish those who decide not to renew. And don't forget to factor in the fact that the division will lose 2 or 3 Darwen End sell outs, to be replaced by 3 that will be lucky to sell the half the lower tier from the Prem and 3 from Div 1 that will certainly not need the top tier opening. Who will be Cat A next year? Nobbers, one of the current top 4, Wednesday? Will I renew? Yes of course. My JW outer gone up £36 or 12.7% but I get my state pension in July and I want an A ticket for Wrexham or Wycombe or Stockport or Luton, provided they are on a Saturday at a sensible time for train travel. I will get to my usual 15 Ewood games so will probably be paying around par for my tickets. Saves the hassle of buying individual tickets. I fully support anyone who takes a different view though and want rid of the owners as soon as possible. Quote
