Well, I think the billboard is great and I was pleased I had supported HCST from its inception when I saw it. Not606's best poster ever. There's no point shilly shallying about when you're trying to get a message across. The £570 claim has a perfectly sensible basis and wrapping it up in provisos and caveats will just confuse the message. If the club is putting out punchy tweatable soundbites to make their point and we're responding with reasonable, worthy but lengthy and complicated counter arguments, there will only be one winner. Sad but true: in fact: FACT.
The single most frustrating point about it all is that having sat in the West stand since the KC opened in the same seat (I consider the seats some of the best in the stadium) the price has come down by 100 quid. Obviously I wouldn't complain about this normally but it makes no logical sense. The premium seats in the stadium reduced whilst kids are charged in some instances 10x times more.
They scored the biggest own goal when they did this. Just proves they do not understand people. Sorry, they think everyone is like them. A lot of people make the same mistake.
The answer CB wants is really easy, last season the under 5's Father would have paid £64 for the under 5's pass and now if the prices stay the same the membership would work out at £570. If he joined at the start of the season and the prices stay as they are his membership next season will be £486, the same as his Father, who last season would have paid £545. The total the Father will pay extra this season, for remaining in his chosen seat alongside the child is £1056. A difference of £447. However this does not include the second child who when added to the Fathers bill for the year will make the total outlay £953 more compared with the same purchase last season. A shocking increase that no one can justify.
But that has always been the case. I go back to the eviction of those from E1 and E2 in 2014. The way that was handled was appalling. Absolutely zero consultation, barely a weeks notice straight after the cup final to chose new seats, but couldn't do it online so had to go in person and tough if any of your group were unable to go. Purely a coincidence that these were probably the highest proportion of 'No' voters. This was a massive tipping point for many, but slipped under the radar for most. It was my first realisation just how divided we actually are.
It isn't. A photograph/graphic of one adult and one child each holding an E5 pass. Two bubbles. The man. "My pass went down by £x", the child "because my pass went up by £x hundred". # ask the premier league why they allowed this to happen
Given the number of clubs in a similar position to us and trying to force a regime change, uniting with them and targeting rule changes to protect fans against owners seems to be an option. It's hard enough getting owners out, replacing them with decent ones is another issue, as TWS and others have found.
This, absolutely. Disappointed TOM doesn't see that; not surprised Happy Tiger uses it to continue with his bile.
I don't know but the scheme didn't change so they must have turned a blind eye and we supporters let them off the hook. They made sure concessions were available to away supporters though.
They said, unofficially, that whilst it's obviously against the rules, they know that their rule isn't explicit enough in what constitutes a concession or for whom, so Ehab would just offer a 1p discount to under 2s if forced. I suspect they think that'd make them look stupid.
They should have made an official statement though I think And if they'd said that, and he'd done that, then he'd have looked a lot worse than them As it is there's no official announcement that he's broken the rules, which is a shame to say the least
