New membership scheme & Thirty's Plenty...

No! I am scared of flying....

And spiders

 

We have 6 season tickets for upper west in my group (2 adults & 4 seniors). Had the discussions last night, none of us will be joining the revolution as it's so called. I couldn't listen to James Mooney without shouting at the radio and I'm so glad Pete on Radio Humberside said everybody should stop thinking about themselves because he can now afford a season pass!!! A brilliant balanced view.
The general consensus seems to be an absolute balls of of idea, VERY WELL DONE HULL CITY for f**king us all off again as we strive towards promotion.

 

A Leeds pass for a 16 year old (16-22 concession) is £346, £446 or £547 depending on where you sit.

 

So if it wasn't the Allams driving this change, can we assume James and his potato of a head are part of it...

 

I haven't made too many comments on here. I have to agree with you on this OLM. You have more insight in the finer detail. I requested more information from the club yesterday.

I am very supportive of the membership scheme. I do think that there are going to be many who are more than disappointed and I do not think the reaction is what the club expected.

Many people are laying the blame on the Allams, but the club runs in a different way to how people imagine. This is not an idea of Ehab of Assem Allam, it was produced by club employees and presented to the owners recently.

As I see thing the basic principle works. Zoned pricing is a very good way of operating a stadium. One price to sit in the zone, no matter who sit's there.

The difficulty is that this all requires a compliant audience, who can see a benefit from moving and are willing to do it.

Getting the transition to work is a major task. The one thing that the club wanted to do was, to release the information when they themselves where ready and not before.

Now we have the basic information in the public domain and very vocal opposition to the scheme, not from supporters who will stay and oppose it but who will simply not take part.

 

At of our fans claim we are the most expensive for match day tickets but that isn't the case.

It very much sounded like he was big a part of it. I don't know the guy and he might just be (camel) toeing the party line but he sound very enthusiastic the revolution.

 

Yeah but not let's forget that Leeds are a massive club.........

 

I, like many others, started going on my own aged 13. Now you aren't even allowed to do that. However, the last thing any of us would have wanted was to be going with parents at age 16. Of course back then you paid full price from age 16. Though in those days most 16 year olds were earning unlike now where they are at polytechnics calling themselves universities "studying" things like media studies before signing on and shelf stacking or similar.

 

Tremendous.

 

I heard there was a bloke who booked two seats on the plane to accommodate his 26 stone frame. He got one each side of the aisle.

 

And U11 are £69 (in the family stand)...

The £527 you quite for 16-22 year olds is in the Bremner Suite

 

For that you get the privilege of a seat in the worst stand in the entire ground.

 

I maybe wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't such a massive price hike. To double in price when he is still the same age just seems wrong. Seems to me that under 18's are being shat on.

 

I think there might be quite a substantial percentage, who, through these new fee's, will stay at home if we win Premier League Football for next season.
There will be (surely) plenty of Pubs showing our game 'live' through Sky each week as another option.
The Allam's do appear to 'move in strange and mysterious ways' at times and by fans reaction there is an ominous suggestion of plenty of empty seats next season.

 

If a membership can be cancelled with one months notice, what's to stop someone cancelling half way through a Premier League season once the "big" games are out of the way? Or conversely, if the team are mid table Championship next January why would a floating supporter continue paying monthly fees when the last ten games are unattractive and the end of the season isn't too far away? The reason that attendances don't vary too greatly is because a large percentage have paid their money for the season so go regardless of form or opposition. Plus, the club knows what minimum revenue they can expect that season and plan accordingly. With a membership scheme, the income can vary greatly depending on league position and upcoming opposition.
If the scheme was in operation this season with six league games between March 1st and mid August, why would people pay around £200 during that time for relatively poor games?

 

They reward loyalty...
