Wheelton Blue

The club won't have payment (card/bank) details for anyone who's paid on credit. They'd have to contact them individually. Similar situationfor anyone who paid by card, as Ticketmaster took the payment.

I wouldn't trust this lot to deliver on any 'promise'. As someone who stupidly bought ST's the season before last during lock down, I'm still waiting on the supporter mosaic thing which was promised to arrive in spring. Not that I'm particularly bothered about seeing my ugly mug in public, but it's the principle...

Refunds would be nightmare admin wise. I imagine a good number have taken credit agreements out which would be a mess to sort out with the credit company. I suppose they could offer some sort of voucher for the concourse or club shop.

All they can feasibly do at this stage is freeze the ST prices at early bird. Shambles.

They don't need to be a fan, but they need to work in the best interests of the fans.

I think we'll end up where we were at the start of last season, whatever that was (6k'ish?)

Assuming that number are as low as is though, then we should expect another series of half-arsed 'offers' throughout the season. Only this time, it's unlikely that we'll be anywhere near the league position we found ourselves in last Christmas.

In what other industry do new customers pay a penalty over existing customers? Think mobile, utility providers etc....they all offer incentives/deals to attract new customers. I think I've read something, though, that this practice is to be prohibited.

It looks that way!

You could be right. It's yet more incompetence. The ticket office is closed tomorrow - per yesterday's email - for anyone intending to renew in person. Beggars belief.

Same. As things stand, we're in the brown stuff.

My guess is that they extended the early bird by just one week, as they expected have a manager in place by now.

Who was that then?

I'll be renewing our 2 season tickets by tomorrow's cut off. I'll be doing this begrudgingly, mind you. I refuse to pay them an extra £60 over the already ridiculous prices.

Fear not, we'll be 'challenging for promotion in the coming season'...

I'm not sure that we'll get out of League 1 as quickly as we did last time.

I've had a reminder email about the Saturday early bird deadline, so I doubt that it will get extended again.

I think that once the early date has passed, anyone who hasn't renewed by then is effectively lost. They will, at that point, have consciously decided not to buy.

We need someone with experience to replace Lenahan, Ayalya can't be relied upon as we know. Someone like Steve Cook at Forest. What an astute signing he was.

I admire your positivity @chaddyrovers. Perhaps not so much your logical thought process!

Probably DOA

I've long thought that the Ewood based 'execs' are simply lazy. Of course everything ultimately goes back to the owners, but that's no excuse for the likes of Waggott to not pull their tripe out.

The DOF will be what, a £500k gig? Money that could be put to better use, IMO.

Spot on.

Whenever I saw Weghourst play for the Clampets, he was terrible. Obviously thinks he's a lot better than he actually is.
