The new scheme is in line with his business philosophy - he claimed that his generator business was a success because he kept large stocks of generators so that they could be bought straight away off the shelf - well the same goes for seating at the KC - there will be large stocks available so no-one will go without if they want one
He doesn't like people taking a free ride on his money. So because of the few who cheat the system, the old and the young have to pay the same as everybody else.
It's that fact that it doesn't make clear what happens after this season that means the question remains unanswered.
I have a question Mr Allam.... Why are you being a **** and pricing out my 69 year old dad and my 16 year old son? Thanks!
I think its a reasonable assumption given the policy in the other parts of the ground that all supporters in the same zone will pay the same.
I'm not all that riled to be fair. It's made my decision easy. I didn't renew last year for a variety of reasons, and there's nothing there to entice me, and a fair bit to keep from doing it. Like plenty of others, I'm finding good use for my time and money. They've drawn a line from the past, and I see little that builds for the future. As for improving the atmosphere... it's no doubt informed by the same clowns that thought the north stand was a bright move and just wouldn't listen. E1 - E3 looked terrible empty last night.
If the question was how long will family prices be effectively frozen maybe. The question was about the guarantee specifically which is for one year.
It is more complicated than it needs to be, I'd suggested binning the zones, making adult memberships £34pm, seniors and U22's £17pm and under 12's £8pm (or something similar). That way we'd have half a chance of filling the ground, without people having to move and without having to close any stands.
If we don't get promoted then next season away supporters will be told its all one price, no concessions for young people and pensioners. I wonder what effect that would have.
That sounds like far too much common sense. If people are cheating by using concession passes when they shouldn't be, then, as someone mentioned way back, use different coloured cards. There's stewards on all turnstiles so simply show them your pass before you go in. Rocket science it isn't!
This^ No one has given even half an answer to that when I've asked the question And I've always paid monthly by debit so that's nothing new
They can already see who is and isn't using a kids pass, it doesn't need to be a different card, the problem was as many cheating stewards as fans,
What if you don't want to pay monthly ? Ever since I could afford the outlay I've paid for my season ticket up front in one go. I prefer it that way. I don't like monthly anything, I've had donkeys years of paying for stuff weekly/monthly etc when I was younger and I don't like it. So do I have an option to pay for my pass all in one go and if do you get a discount for doing so ? What happens if you don't have the facility to pay via direct debit ? Like kids ( or anybody) without a Bank Account. What happens if you are overdrawn, do you get turned away on a match day ? I'm seriously considering throwing the towel in because it appears more complicated then its worth.
All that requires staff. If they get direct debits they don't need as many staff to administer the scheme. They just keep collecting the money from your bank. I would hope they will allow us to pay in one go, but somehow I doubt they will. I might as well ask them. If I get a reply I'll let you all know.
