Those who sit in the JWU choose to pay more and sit there vs paying lower prices. Are you suggesting JWU ST holders would be against match day tickets being £20 and prefer the ground to be 2/3 empty ?

It shouldn't matter how much it costs, if it needs doing, the owners should pay for it and instruct Waggot to "get it done".

When I had a ST, I literally never sat in the seat on the card. Usually I would move at HT as well. Same on the odd occasion I have bought a match ticket since. Same when I go away. Couldn't think of anything worse than seeing the same faces and listening to the same opinions week after week.

A ST is £17.35 per game allegedly. So £20 in no way compromises that ?

Unless the replacements come for free from the U21s which is what I personally expect. Then we will buy some kids to backfill the pipeline.

No bumper away crowds in the first half of the season and Sunderland is a night match (bet that annoyed Swag). Matchday tickets should be announced at flat £20 for all of those games. That would get people in and IF JDT gets them performing we would then shift a few thousand half STs. I don't see any value at all in buying a full ST at those prices.

No signs of anybody incoming. Playing 2 x 60min games to give everyone a go indicates they will be primarily looking at kids making the step up. Nothing wrong with that except this is going to be another lost season before it has even started.

Well now the fixtures are out there won't be many more sales. Just get a half ST and get all the derbies.

There is more chance of seeing four figures sat in the directors box.... none.

We might shift 50 when the fixtures come out today. And then another 50 before next week's deadline. Only a marquee signing (or 2) will get more to consider it. Was ever the case. I remember the excitement when we signed Archibald. Alas Broughton will be searching for a bargain in the flea market.

All OK then Nick. Thanks for the fairy's perspective. ST sales are going great. We have actually sold more than Preston and Bolton. Everyone should be happy with the efforts of the club. Marketting has been good. COYB Venkys Out.

So (some) ST holders who can afford it say "prices are fine, stop moaning". None ST holders who can't afford it are priced out of getting a ST. Conclusion, some ST holders are just not bothered about more people buying STs. Personally I think the prices are great. Way too cheap if anything. If they were 600 or 700 then our owners may have signed the cheque for the new pitch, or rebuilt the Riverside, or even bought a tin of paint. This is the fault of those fans who constantly complain and don't buy a ST. Oh hang on... that's me... Now Fuck Off Venkys and I will buy one tomorrow.

Wont happen until after we have veen through admin and got rid of the owners. Waggott loving the fans vs fans division and all falling overselves to email him, meet him, form a cosy relationship with him. Venkys out.

What exactly are you concerned about Glen ? Sorry just sounds dramatic.

Cantwell is a class player. Yes please.

Imagine printing only 8500 flyers, one each for the 8500 current ST holders. A bit like a special price but only for the 8500 special ones. "What about flyers for previous ST holders ?" Those famous words.... "SW undertook to look into this" Priceless Incompetance.

If we have the same number of STs as last year then Waggott will have hit his budget. If 3000 are new at £30 extra that is an extra £90K. He will be a Venky hero and his ticketting policy a great success. Nothing to see here (those 20K empty seats have been there for years).

To celebrate the new manager we are extending our offer to sell season tickets to existing season ticket holders.... This definately has an air of genius about it.

"This exceptional gesture"

Exactly. Nobody should pay more or less for the same product. Yes have a sale or promotion but for all potential customers. Makes not a jot of sense.

I just have a bad feeling he won't be here by Xmas. Venky Syndrome.

Hi Steve, I am potentially in the market for a season ticket. Incentivise me.... Great, if you pay £30 extra we will let you in. Eh? Is that the best you can do? Yes. I've looked into it. That's the price. You know where we are. Bye.

Does SW appear supportive or is he just playing friends with his enemy?

His target pre pandemic was £10K 8K is pathetic without a single strategy to increase numbers. Clearly its all they want. His real target should be £15K but he is being allowed to simply meet the revised on the revised budget.

So the club is telling lies saying they have surpassed last season's figure. They haven't. They have extended the deadline because 2500 have not renewed yet. And lets not forget there is not one strategy aimed at new or returning fans. Fuck them. They can pay £30 extra.
