Well, i certainly won't be better off. I will now have to pay £41.50 a month for my lads pass (he's 16 and had a pass since he was 7). So his pass has nearly trebled in price. Thanks but no thanks and i won't be moving seat as a cheaper option either as i prefer to sit with the same lads i have attended with for the last 25 years.
Some might be. But discouraged to be so by those around them. They won't have that problem down here with us.
Eh? I pointed out the people not renewing were getting cheaper tickets and was told price wasn't why they weren't renewing.
Never said all. My original point being a lot of OAP's have more disposable income than your average working man and I'd stand by that. I was a bit lazy using the baby boomer term in my last point. Haves and have nots in all generations.
Below 21000????? **** me there was only 15000 last night and we are near top of the league. We will be lucky to get 12000 next season. Unfortunately i won't be joining due to the massive increase in my lads pass. Sad times.
He won't come back because Bruce has ****ed promotion up with his bizarre decisions and sticking by players that just are not performing, pretty much the same as he did last season.
Unfortunately, that is the same with me. I'm not moving to another seat after going with the same lads for around 25 years, and i'm not paying three times the amount for my sons pass either.
Don't disagree te disposable income for some. Only for those of us who had a company pension scheme though. And it wasn't easy for all us baby boomers. There was rationing until I was 5. We didn't get a tele until Iwas 4, only got 2 channels when I was 6 and no third channel until I was 14. And they all stopped by midnight. All in black and white only. Kids today don't know what hardship is. However, being serious, I consider myself lucky to have grown up when I did, when things seemed to be getting better all the time and new consumer goods like TVs, fridges etc became available to more and more people and very fortunate to have been a teenager in the 1960s. I don't envy today's youngsters. We had a lot more freedom and fun.
Except for the revenue, you have the essence of it, simply and well stated. This is just another step to their aim of franchise football, so prepare for another name-change campaign.
If they are forcibly removing adults with no children from the South Stand then they will have to offer the same choice of seats as the West Stand Upper refugees before anyone else can start looking at moving to the cheaper seats. Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk
July 2016, just before kick off. : "Well, even though we had 24,000 people in, we've managed to create over 10,000 seats, without the need to get the Council to help with a stadium expansion, but something's niggling in the back of my mind Ehab..." please log in to view this image
The juniors i take are 14 and 16 4 years converting them from HKR fans to city season ticket holders the last 3 seasons . They love it in N4 and have friends near by How the F is it a good idea by the club to make our tickets over £300 more in total. Its a **** idea. Theres a few west uppers that go on the coach from Filey that say they wont renew With me and the juniors i make it 6 fans not going next season and thats just from the few i have spoke with today F. idiot club
Filey, do you now start to see some of the reasons why some of us were pissed off at the move, when all you could see was you liking north stand?
That move didnt come with a huge price increase DMD.. I would have been dead against it if it had . But yup i do see some of your point about not wanting to move. I could get a free ticket for one of the juniors as im high rate disability medium rate mobility but iv always chose not to do that because on those benefits i get MORE then unemployed people do and low paid workers. Why should i be given a free carer ticket. This increase for kids stinks of ****. I would rather MY ticket went up then that of a young person
There were some financial costs and worse Filey. Over the years, changes to the pricing structure, and re-designating stands has cost me, and that's under various chairmen. Probably more than this change is affecting you. The stand we settled in was originally the family stand, but they redisgnated it in favour of one in the south. We are good friends with those around us, so paid the extra price to stay, and continued to pay it year on year. Several times when the pricing structure changed, we fell the wrong side of it. In fact I've never fallen the right side of it. None of this expense and sense of community was considered. All of these things were factors in the the feelings of being pissed off with the evictions and the way they were handled. This was made worse by the attitude and comments of some 'fellow' fans.
So they are putting prices up for kids and young adults solely due to age fraud by a tiny minority of fans? If only there was some easy way of checking someone's exact age through a reputable and extremely difficult to fake document. Something which over 80% of the population have anyway. You could maybe even use that document to travel abroad...
