  1. Squeezing people for ‘admin charges’, but can’t be arsed with a programme sums up this regime to a tee.
  2. Loads of dosh brought in from Wharton, Raya and soon Sammie. So presumably a decent transfer budget then if there’s no court issues?
  3. I don’t think it is too bad, my point is a slight price decrease on the back of a crap season and with half the games on TV means it won’t move the dial. We’ll sell our standard 8-9k, it is what it is.
  4. Right finally you accept that it will decimate midweek attendances, took long enough. So ergo it’s a non-starter with the club. Man of the people? 😅 Must be confusing me with somebody else. I’m just after more bums on seats and it ain’t happening without substantial ST reductions (notwithstanding some miraculous promotion).
  5. Midweek? Why would they? They’ll go at the weekend with their flexi.
  6. Don’t follow. Neither does Hasta and everybody else. You seem to be missing the very large hole in your argument. You offer a flexi ticket, a load of season ticket holders go ‘thanks very much I’ll have a bit of that, it’ll cover Saturdays and I can put my feet up and get that red button pressed midweek’. So who’s picking up the slack to traipse down to Rovers v Swansea on a Tuesday night when you’ve given ST holders (who make up the mast majority of a midweek ’crowd’, attending or not), an opt out ?
  7. We introduce your idea what kind of gates do you think we get for all those cold midweek (oh and red button) nights in the Championship?
  8. Simon Cowell should’ve hired Souey’s surgeon, looks a million dollars at 71. 👌
  9. ‘Fan Favourite’ if ordered from Wish.
  10. You are missing the point. Do I think it’s a good idea for me? Too right, it’d save me cash and I wouldn’t have to think about those night games that are a right hassle for me. Same for thousands more I’d imagine. And that’s exactly why the club won’t ever go for it as sales of a full ST would tank and it would spell the end of any kind of crowd for night games for one. So let’s think about what is actually possible to be offered (and shown to be very successful in boosting gates with a lot of evidence nearby) - substantial reductions in season tickets. It works.
  11. ‘Impressed by his interview’, what I read it was just standard corporate flim flam about ‘aligning’’ ‘joined up approach’ etc that GB was pilloried for.
  12. To be fair to him he was 18.
  13. I suppose he does count as ‘popular’ after this shambolic decade, though that’s not saying much considering the never ending conveyor belt of no mark journeymen we’ve largely been subjected to .
  14. That’s Rudy too. ‘My role will be to oversee every department at the Senior Training Centre, from administration to catering to recruitment‘
  15. End of the day how much authority is he actually going to have? My view is very little, they just keep creating ’Head of’ this ‘Head of’ that roles diluting any other power base within the club and the Swag/Suhail axis carries on merrily on its way.
  16. Not spotted any ‘abuse’, but maybe the powers that be that have somehow ended up in positions of authority at this grand old club should try and stop acting in such a criticisable manner, what do you reckon?
  17. Yep, largely gone down a treat on Facebook as an example.
  18. Not seeing the contradiction. My view is you make them a bargain and folk buy them regardless of them missing a few games. You offer opt outs and some matches will be (even more of) a ghost town, I obviously couldn’t wring my hands if we ended up with 3,000 on for night matches as I’d be one of the missing as I’d have bought one of those flexi ticket myself - but that’s exactly why the club will never offer it.
  19. ‘Rudy’s just doing a bit of shadowing of seniors at the club to gain some experience as he wants to get into football leadership, he won’t be getting an executive role of anythi…’ oh.
  20. Swag’s played an absolute blinder in the Rovers Game of Thrones these past few months.
  21. ‘Don’t make them too cheap, eh Swag’ luckily wasn’t the opening gambit WATR took. Women’s tickets being sold for a quid so they can issue enough to cover a 40,000 ground for PR purposes obviously isn’t comparable to men’s season tickets in the c£250 bracket. Clubs want fans signed up for the season, end of the day it doesn’t matter if they can’t make all the games, they have them in the tent regardless. The quid pro quo is plenty will sign up for all the games as they are getting a good price - not a chance they are offering a ticket that allows you not to pay at all for inconvenient matches.
  22. Like a dog with a bone here, Chadster 😅
  23. Yep, ‘early bid’ is something you see at normal clubs for a few months from March/April. If you finally get them on sale not far from June it ain’t ‘early’ especially when said early bird then only lasts a few weeks and one payday.
