I'm trying to work out if it shows we're mature or if we're philistines as despite the thread title, there's been no mention of people running on tip toe, or tutu's*. *no Desmond content.
Prices compared to the last season of normal passes: Adult - £501-£572 - £324-£432 Senior - £260-£358 - £216-£324 16-22 - £241-£325 - £216-£324 (now 14-17) 11-15 - £90-£156 - £108-£216 (now U14’s) U10’s - £30-60 - £108-£216 (now U14’s)
That’s useful context, and it shows the general reductions for adults and increase for kids well However the real test for me is what the ballot is comparing against, which is where we are now For me the proposed ‘concessions’ are a very poor suggestion. Obviously I don’t have the numbers, so no idea if it’s a majority, but there will be many groups including people you would consider to be concessions that will see their costs stay exactly the same as now...or even go up! I’ll wait to consider before I vote, although probably vote to accept to simply break the principle of no concessions. However if they are accepted then I think the focus of the Trust should be to gradually change them to something more palatable for future seasons I can’t help but feel though that the vote will be very split and the whole thing will increase tension between different fans It’s all very ****
It is and it would obviously be better if the age bands were as before and contained no ridiculous restrictions, but we are where we are. In my opinion, the most important thing is getting the principle of concessions reintroduced, the levels that they’re set at becomes the new battle.
They trying to make it divisive and complicated on purpose, why they can't just have a straight forward price for each category and have done with it. Why, because they want to divide the fan base, and hope that enough people who are better off under the existing scheme vote for it. I shall vote for concessions being brought back out of principle, but have decided not to renew my membership next season. I am sick and tired of these people playing around with peoples lives, and will not renew until they have gone. I just hope it is within my life time.
What an absolute pile of ****. No matter how many kids you take they are still kids and should pay kids price. A group of kids can't go on their own is a joke. They are stirring the pot, I vote to continue protests until ALLAMS OUT and HCST price structure is introduced. But suppose I will have to vote for change as voting not to is immoral.
So I just voted to change to a pricing structure that I don't agree with so it changes from a pricing structure I really don't agree with. This doesn't sit right with me, I'm very angry about that.
I said I would keep going even though they stayed as owners, but being away this winter, and seeing how they have performed and playing around with peoples live, I decided enough is enough. I'm a corporate member, so pay quite a lot of money each year into the club, but not anymore until they are gone. The moment they exit I will renew immediately, as long as I am not 6 foot under.
I'm exactly the same voting for something that I am not happy with, there should be a third category "Don't agree with either" but we knew that would never happen. #loadedballot
Well I sincerely hope they’re gone before you’re gone! (Mind you I hope they’re gone before this cup of coffee’s gone!!!) EDIT - I’ve finished the cup of coffee and there’s no news of the Allams ****ing off...another **** start to a day
It’s important that people vote for the concessions so we can reestablish the principle of them. Then let the Trust lobby for further changes. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
