Yes as Allam frequently tells us he's a man who knows how to run a business. What a complete car crash Though I've no doubt the half wit who came up with the plan was paid big bucks
If they were selling the memberships really well, it would have been shouted from the roof tops by now
There's a whisper that the Premier League will leave the membership scheme alone, but only if City introduce concessionary prices on all (home and away) match-day tickets.
Can't see that happening. Seniors and families will leave the membership at the first opportunity and buy on a match by match basis.
They might not have any option, it might be the only way they can get the membership scheme approved. Alternatively, it could be complete bollocks.
personally I think that's ridiculous, but I suppose they could just have normal ticket prices so high that the concessions were about the same as pass prices and then 'members' would stay joined up because they wouldn't save anything by going match by match?
.....and I don't think that if they stay they'll care. They certainly haven't done anything to suggest that encouraging people to go to matches is important to them (that might have been different had we stayed in the Championship)
As membership prices are £13-25 a game, I don't expect match tickets to be cheaper for most, even if they introduce concessions.
I know My point was that if they made the concession match tickets in the £13-25 per game range, and obviously the non concession tickets more than that (maybe much more to cover the "cost" of the concessions), then older fans and kids would have no incentive to leave the scheme and go match by match as was suggested
Other than pissibly concessions, what issues would the prem have with the scheme? Edit should be 'possibly' but I like the typo better.
