I think the drop could be even bigger. I agree with you entirely about the Cat A, B and C games, the Cat C games are going to be a really hard sell. If the pass sales are as bad as is being suggested, there might even be a deal offered on a Cat C only season ticket later in the season. Having a load of empty seats at one of the smallest Premier League grounds would be really damaging, both to the reputation of the club and our attempts at player recruitment. It's so sad that after our most successful season ever, the club continue to alienate fans, rather than attract them.
I'm sure the Allam's are aware of this and will be trying to pull off one or two impressive signings as quickly as possible.
This is my biggest concern at the moment, I know he's pissed off about the club not moving on after the name change was rejected, I just hope he's not so pissed off that he wants out. Let's hope no decent jobs become available, just in case.
Nah it'll be fine. My mate says it every year, thats it not gonna bother- I'll pick my games- them ****s are 30 grand a week I'm not subsidising that **** (***an Mcshane Cousin), he'll struggle to blame any one this season like. Then last day it'll be what else am i gonna do?? Go shopping with our lass **** that........
If true that truly is a disaster for the club. I have been a pass holder for 30 years and have not renewed yet and I know of many similar fans. Feel totally detached from the club that has been a massive part of my whole life. The club is losing fans, money, dignity and it appears its name. It's losing its heart and soul! Last seasons on field success should have been a platform to build the club locally where there is a huge catchment area. Yet tickets sales appear to be very slow. The Allams are getting it very wrong and must alter their stance. I doubt it though. Up The 1904's
I've no doubt that there's a lot of people who haven't renewed because they're pissed off for various reasons, but will back down and renew between now and the start of the season. Equally, I know a lot of people who have been season ticket holders for over fifteen years, who go to every game home and away, who will definitely not renew. It's not easy for a football club to have their best ever season, yet lose thousand of season ticket holders for the following season. It really is a desperately sad state of affairs.
We'll see, that sounds a bit ticklerish TWT. Its the silly season, lots of things are said on here. The majority of people dont read forums and will just renew as usual.
That's true and some aren't online at all, but if you look across all the forums, Facebook, Twitter etc together, I think you get a decent picture of what the majority of fans think(even if it's a bit younger demographic than our support overall). Just avoid the HDM comments, that's where the clown shoes live.
I won't be going next season. The price rise is a pain,but it's not that big a hike over a year,and it does seem to fall in line with most other premier league clubs. And that new badge looks really nice actually. For me it's all about the lies. This has been a massive decision for me, but i have to be honest, i can't keep going to the Circle every home game,and pretending everything is wonderful, because it isn't. This could have been so ****ing fantastic. Kempton
At the end of the month when people get paid the sales will probably go up a bit. We are getting ours then. No merchandise though.
Why does it matter when everyone gets paid as most pay via the instalment method anyway. No need to pop on here as say you've paid in full - most will pay via the easier spread payment term. The daft thing is that if the Allams came out and said we're wrong on this - we underestimated the fans backlash. We'll keep the name, meet with fans to look at promoting the club locally and start to work together we'd sell the missing 10k passes within 48 hours
I'm renewing mine at the end of the month. Can't really afford it but renewing anyways. May well be my last season as a pass holder though as I can't see my having the money to buy one next season and I'm getting very disillusioned with the way the club is being run. If the Allams drop the name change rubbish then I think many would renew.
I'll continue getting a season pass until I die most likely unless I can't afford it. Even with the Allams f**king around, its all ten times better than it was in the 80s and the 90s and I never stopped getting a season ticket then. I still think the Allams are not as bad as Lloyd, Dolan, Hinchcliffe, Webster, Buchanan, Ternant, etc. Total ****s the lot of them. Which reminds me. When is the deadline and can only the east standers request a seat change before the normal passholder deadline?
I'm seriously debating whether to renew or not. City use to be the place I went to forget about all life's problems. Not with all the problems going at the club, it's not that now. I'm seriously pissed off that Allams have made me doubt something I love.
The deadline for direct debits is, 01/07/14. Other than that, 25/07/14. That's for everyone, not just pass renewals, you don't warrant any sort of loyalty reward now. I know this because im looking at my now redundant pass renewal form.
