I wish he'd commit to winning a few headers!

It was scary tonight the number of conversations going on around me about people not renewing. Loyal fans that would normally enjoy buying.

Bearing in mind they are already the few that are still attending. Who will be left next season?

The club hit so wide of the mark with their pricing and Suhail's untimely reminder during "the interview" that season ticket prices will continue to rise throughout the phases..... completely idiotic.

Post of the year so far!

Bolton have sold 14,000 Season Tickets in their Early Bird Phase.

Let that sink in.

A family friendly club with a positive atmosphere in League One. An Adult + 1 Child ticket is £309 behind the goal.

I live 5 miles from Middlebrook and there’s always so many kids wearing Bolton kits in the local area. They’re that keen to get to games that my sons Under 10’s Team cancel games when Bolton are playing.
 

They’re obviously doing something right. Suhail should hang his head in shame and resign.

For an adult and an over 12 here behind the goal - almost 500 quid… be pushing 600 by August.

Exactly - the equivalent in the Blackburn End costs £438 at current prices.

To be fair, the Riverside is cheaper but still £338 so more expensive for a very poor stand.

It seems the only strategy at Rovers is not to attract new fans but to fleece the ones remaining. I’ve already stopped taking my kids to games due to a poor matchday experience and rising prices. 

“Not a penny more” increasingly seems like the best option 🥀 🐔

It's the only course of action which may achieve the goal we all want.

As good as something like the "Pasha out" banner is, the chances are Venkys will hear nothing about it.

They will definitely hear about poor season ticket sales.

I posted the below in December on the Transfer thread, I am certain many many others could see it all coming. There is simply no reason other than blind loyalty for buying a season ticket. There is nothing remotely ambitious about the club.

 

I do feel the upcoming January transfer window represents a watershed moment for our beloved club. John Eustace is clearly getting the best out of our squad and his managerial stock is no doubt on the rise. I assume like most managers he will feel that whilst he is being backed he will continue but lets be honest attractive managerial vacancies will pop up early in the new year and that's the test Venkys I feel will fail. The window represents a realistic opportunity to bring in 2-3 additions to add depth and who knows where the season may end. I am not suggesting 10-12 Million will magically appear but if we spent a third of that it would give us the best chance in years to at least make the play offs. I fear a couple of cheap loans will probably mean when injuries kick in we fade into mid table and all the momentum is lost.

I hope I am proved wrong and of course its the hope that kills you.

Personally think the damage for next season is already done, they got it wrong and they've scared away thousands of current season ticket holders.

They will have a shock when they come to look at the numbers mid May. Only it wouldn't shock anyone with half a brain.....

It's not like they can lower the prices when a few hundred have already renewed.

Complete and utter morons in the boardroom.

[roverblue]

I saw a couple lob their tickets on the pitch at half time and walk out. Telling the club haven't been putting out the propaganda about how well the sales have done so far.

Still, the worst thing venkys ever did was listen to people who told them that lowering ticket prices would sell more tickets.

According to them at least.

Adam Catterall’s (TalkSport Presenter and Rovers Fan) Father-In-Law said he did just that at the Boro game, on a call to the radio station. Not exactly good publicity!

Lowering ticket prices has to come with a positive family matchday experience. 

It simply doesn’t at the minute and all at the club are not aligned on it - an example from the Wolves FA Cup game with a steward “stealing” Cunha’s shirt thrown into the JW Lower Tier to a group of kids including my nephews and taking it down the tunnel!

Why would anyone want to bring their kids in the current climate, even for a quid against Millwall on Good Friday?

I honestly don’t want to bring them and my own kids back to Ewood again until Venky’s and all associated with them leave our club.

If/when the worst comes to the worst do we think for one minute they'd then decide the time was right ?

Would they #### they'd raise prices again probably 'we've only got 9k fans so lets have every penny we can from them, we'll not sell 10k even if we halve them'.

That bullshit position was taken by them years ago.

[Forever Blue]

How long after they put them on sale last season did they do an update on numbers? 
 

Just wondering how many we’ve sold?

'We're on track to hit our targets...' will be the most that they'll admit to.

[Mattyblue]

Last year they were crowing after a week:

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24355221.blackburn-season-ticket-latest-impressive-first-week-sales/

‘1,200 were sold in the first 12 hours, the highest first-day sales in nine years.’

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Doubt they will give any figures due to potential poor sales...stage 2 price increases to look forward to though!

The pure genius of it 😲

It's a major own goal from the club. They're a commercial disaster.

If you were in touch, you'd sack the lot.

[Mike E]

Genuinely when they were so excited about the early announcement, I thought they’d finally listened and gone for ‘£150 all over the ground to celebrate 150 years of Rovers’.

Nope.

[Tomphil2]

157,000 people now in the borough of BBwD and a football club that used to average c22k home fans until this ownership began it's reign of nonsense.

Always one of the best supported clubs in England from its locality but now can only manage 4k full adult over 23 season tickets.

Yes they are a commercial disaster, the people are there the fans are still there as certain crowds at Ewood show but they don't matter anymore. The club has given up on it's own fans in favour of kiddies and fleecing its remaining hardcore, what other commercial managers in the country would ignore what it has on its own doorstep just so it can guarantee one level of income from c10k people every year ?

Absolutely shocking but they just throw their hands in the air 'we've done all we can'.
