So prices not reduced but frozen - for League One football. £175 in the Lower North - at least when the TV cameras visit for our big tie v Southend, behind the goal will look a bit fuller. Anyone advancing money to Roland Scumbag this summer needs their head tested, shame on you.
Sadly the offer of season tickets for £175 in the north lower has been greeted with jubilation. I'm amazed at the reaction. I have zero interest in renewing as it stands - no matter how cheap the tickets are. Hilarious they are asking for over £500 for west upper.
most of the comments i've seen on twitter are negative? i've only seen one person say they are renewing.
The post on FB has everyone saying ''this changes'' things, and words to that effect. I haven't checked Twitter yet to be fair.
I think that they've put the prices up in the North Upper? I swear that I paid exactly £300 for the pleasure this year? The funny thing is, 3,000 absent season ticket holders probably won't renew, so they're still going to lose a potential of £750,000 depending on where they sit. There'll also be the others that don't renew, I reckon that we could see about 1,500 on top of that. I don't think that we're going to gain any new fans...
Also saw this on their site: The North Lower is our new affordable area, now giving over 3,400 fans the chance to watch the team play from just £7.61 per game. So the North Lower will have about 400 fans in it. Their whole entire "affordable" football motto is a joke. Majority of fans do not sit in the North Lower, and therefore as prices have remained static, only a handful would be swayed. If they think that take up rate will increase, I think that they're hugely mistaken. **EDITED: I've also had a quick look through my credit card statements online, and I do see that the last time I was in league one it actually cost me £265 to purchase my season ticket for where I sit. The prices went up when we hit into League One. I make that an actual increase of 24%, if I'm not mistaken. How can they claim that it will be affordable.
The price of concessions in the NWQ has gone up, which means I'll be saving even more by not renewing. Yippee!
i just cant quite fathom £325 for a seat in the NW and most of the rest of the ground. we'll be more expensive than championship clubs, but be playing in L1. i hope people are not stupid enough to renew. a good deal would be £150, anywhere in the ground.
It seems that a lot of people are not renewing, or saying not to. Think that a banner slating their pricing is needed
£325 to sit in the NWQ and watch that rubbish every week? Good one, 150 I may have been tempted although probably declined, but that is a joke. Twitter people seem far too happy to renew now
the conversation between the lot i go with has gone something like this : "even at 150/185 it's not worth it. we havent enjoyed the football/atmosphere for a few years so why pay anything at all?"
Now that the club have not slashed the prices throughout the ground, it will be very poor show if we have more than 7000 season ticket holders next season. The £175 Covered End tickets is not enough of a sweetener to tempt fans to renew, and I cannot see us gaining many new season ticket holders to watch that toilet in division three. Yet again the Belgians f*** things up.
Yeah, I was considering possibly having a ST at £150 just because this is really low, but for the same price, in a lower league, with the same **** players. I think I'll pass thanks and spend the money in Vegas.
I was told about this on Facebook this morning. I did'nt see a single comment by anyone considering renewing. The majority were saying after 30/40/50 etc years of supporting Charlton, they were reluctantly not going to renew. Most say they will be back when Roland finally sells up, but sadly, the Selhurst experience tells us we're going to lose fans here who won't ever return. Thanks Roland.Is this the stability you were rabbiting on about in the SLP a couple of weeks back? As I said on another thread, I don't see any point in turning on other fans, but this madness will only end when Roland sells, and even then we may end up with another freak of nature. The season ticket boycott will be probably more effective tan a lot of what has gone on before, and the prices just go to show the clowns are still as detached from Floyd Road reality as ever. The prices are not the issue. The football on the pitch is still the match day experience.How a man who owns four or five clubs round Europe still can't see the relationship between the fans and the football performance defies any sort of logic. You don't build an electronics empire without electricians. FFS, it's like some sort of silly Carry On film. Kenneth Williams as Fraeye, Sid james as any one of a thousand disgruntled fans, Barbara Windsor gets the short straw as KM, and Roland....? Who cares, it's rubbish and needs to change. ROLAND OUT
For me it's not the quality of football which makes renewing a no-no, I've seen plenty of ****e in my 40 years at The Valley. It's the nature of the regime, with the constant string of lies followed by complete silence. The scale of incompetence covered by a veneer of arrogance, and disdain for the fans, coupled with an assumption that they can take our loyalty for granted. Let's see how many Tottenham cabbies and S.W. Londoners she can fill the stadium with.
