Slippery Chaddy strikes again 😁

Post 9am normally when they update the ticketing website… but then it is a bank holiday.

We’d probably lose the ground, the training ground, the academy, most of the fanbase. Everything Jack and those that kept the club competitive before him built and grafted for. Surely the hope would be to be as high as possible when this lot finally give it up as a bad job, so we are an attractive proposition, not playing matches against Padiham.

Eh? You’ve often said how Italian football was the best in the 90s. Case in point if you want proof how said poster is on the wind up most of the time.

Hmmm, real mystery that one.

Murdoch sold Sky five years ago.

Night matches, all on Sky. Not difficult M_B, but still substantially bigger than night games in the first part of the season. Our STs are double Bolton’s, £100 more minimum than PNE, ‘absolute bargain’, they ain’t.

They sold 14,058. They have already gone past it for next season. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/23455046.amp/

1k Luton, about 1.7k Norwich.

18.5k and 17k. Miles above what would be expected normally against that opposition. Cracking turnouts with only 9k ST holders.

The sales were up significantly. Literally more than double the usual amount of walk ons (and Luton and Norwich were only slightly reduced anyway, £25 to £20 in the BBEnd, Reading was a crap timed offer). You are miles off here.

He walked away from Liverpool when they were undisputed top dogs in this country. That’s Kenny.

Luton and Norwich were excellent turnouts considering we only have 9k STs. 7k-ish buying a ticket for the game, top stuff. Scary the lack of understanding some have. But good useful idiots for Swag.

Of course it wouldn’t be full if we reduced prices, who said it should be? We’ve 31,000 seats, it was rarely full as a top PL side. Ridiculous arguments these M_B. And yes Reading was a stupid game to pick, a red button night game in the middle of March with the opposition fetching around 300. Anybody with any sense at Ewood would’ve chosen the Easter match or last home game of the season. But there is one reason and one reason only that PNE sold 12k+ last summer (up from lower sales than us the year before) and we limped to 9k.

Was Ke*n deluded? I think he knew exactly what he was saying and that it was a load of BS - it was all job preservation mode for the ears of those many miles to the east…

I suppose if the club believes that there has been enough newbies coming on board to offset non renewers (I.e will still hit Swag’s revenue target) then they probably will go on with the price hike.

Yep, clueless a lot of our fans that are quick to absolve the club from any fault.

‘’Owww much?! With that Southampton goalscoring record?’ Should have kept Speedie’

Cheers. So, if accurate we can afford to lose c1.5k existing ST holders to tread water, if we are losing more than 1.5k out of a mere 9.3k we’ve got bigger issues as it would be heading towards a 20% non renewal figure, which would be pretty worrying.

So I’m theory that’s around 1.5k new purchasers, but is that ‘unavailable’ figure including the middle blocks of the JWU that aren’t ever purchasable?

Miles off the mark. £20 off, wow! Roll up, roll up. We’ve 9k ST holders that’s why the crowds haven’t been massive in recent weeks. We have had 6/7k buying match tickets, which is plenty, but it still doesn’t move the dial much with so few ST holders as your base… but you know what, maybe don’t have season tickets double the price of Bolton’s, £100+ more than PNE if you want to sell more!

League crowds weren’t much different to now, it was the FA Cup that saw absolutely enormous gates - hard to believe it was that way round now when you see that diminished competition…

The price goes from £379-£474 to £429-£529 from midnight, ergo up £50 for a product that is already not selling well by all accounts. How many more do they actually now expect to sell from tomorrow when the exact same ticket (already the dearest in the area) will be considerably more expensive?

So they are still planning to hike prices by £50 tomorrow. This club 🤦‍♂️
