JDT spent around that amount in the 18 months here but after the project changed that second summer and his heart went from it. Eustace had 4m-5m spent during this season and he had us challenging for playoffs place but he was the head coach here but clearly want more of say in transfers than had here. I think these ST packages are more next season, we need the technology in place to allow fans to be allocate that seat. Those purchases were funded by previous player sales. Quote

To be honest no matter how grim it gets here i'd never want to be Preston, the very definition of tin pot but yes thanks to Vs they still manage to spend without selling unlike us. Quote

Armstrong was sold and the training ground was sold to help us meet FFP requirements as the Armstrong money wasnt enough to not get embargo or restrictions on signings. the year after we had a surplus/budget for few signings hence those 3 good signings made Quote

Riis 12 goals this season and Woodman is a good keeper at this level. They will missed both of them badly Quote

I have been saying this for days and people buying early is providing these clubs with cashflow over the summer when there is no match day revenue It might be something they have though off but think people wouldn't go for it. If some people would be happy to pay the amount for ST over 3 months instead of 6 months. You sit here and do plenty of complaining about certain things but do nothing about it. Why don't you tell the club and management how you feel? Obviously not speaking for Mattyblue but the people at the club just do not care/want to listen. The coalition attempted dialogue before the Watford game with regards ticket prices and contacted the head of marketing expressing concerns over pricing. The response that came back was pretty much 'not my job'. When asked who was responsible and would she provide contact information for who was, she said no she wouldn't pass on internal email addresses. It was also highlighted that the pricing for the Sheffield Weds midweek game was £5 up on the club's own policy which caused no reaction. They are arseholes. 4 Quote

Doesn’t it just remind folk that we hardly have Saturday 3pm games anymore as most matches can be seen on Sky at all manners of other days and times? I know I’m late to this but this is one of the worst adverts / angles I can think of, it’s like they just used an AI to come up with words. So is there a season ticket option that just covers Saturday 3pm games? Should I ignore the other games? Bizarre Quote
Mattyblue Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago The AI vibe is strong through all their comms… not a good time to be a ‘social media officer’, you’d wager. Quote
Lancaster Rover Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Are they aware that without a season ticket you can enjoy every Saturday 3pm home kick off, in fact if all your bothered about is saturday 3pms then you're better off without an ST. Edited 12 hours ago by Lancaster Rover 8 Quote

Good advice if you only attend to Saturday 3pm kick off aswell Quote
