Online petition to reinstate concessions

I don't know this person, but I stumbled across it in tweet land. Well written, some good comments, and over 600 signatures in the 13 hours it has been online. Can't do any harm,

Done, but I don't see how the author's seat price could have risen 350% to £350?

 

No, I'm not sure about that
He sounds like a young teenager going with friends but I haven't looked at the maths

 

Done, but I doubt he'll listen

 

Done. Seems a real shame if the next generation of City fans are priced out of attending.

He's now getting his seat for £1 for the season? The West Stand upper doesn't cost any more to open? Except for extra stewards!

 

Huh?
It doesn't matter anyway
Sign it or don't sign it
I simply pointed out to people... I'm not the kids accountant

 

Erm... do you know how percentages work, Plum?

EDIT: See OLM's post above, that should cover it.

 

isn't that 250% increase - 100% would be £190--- 200% would be would be £285

 

Done

 

This thread could be used as a case study in how this (and other) forum operates. Someone posts something then a couple of posts in or so someone pulls up on a little detail. The thread then spirals off in another direction - in this case maths. (OLM's maths is correct BTW- well he rounded up by 50p). The other one about what unlikely set of circumstances were needed to get promotion was even more of a classic with people apparently purposefully misinterpreting each other and changing argument direction mid-discussion.

The petition will not doubt make no impact but if in a small way I can make a young fan, who has been priced out of the game, feel supported then I'm glad I spent 30s doing it.

 

Spot on
No one on here thinks it will change things, but as you say I was happy to spend 30 seconds supporting a young kid who has decided to at least try and do something, and actually if it does get a load of signatures it would be something else for the media to pick up as a different angle which may go a small way to help in the long run
Fair play to him...he is exactly the type of supporter we should be encouraging, not forcing out!

 

Getting on for 800 signatures now by the way (I can't be arsed to work out exactly what % of 800 it is!!!)

 

Signed as a gesture of support, but it's unlikely to make much difference. This scheme does remind of the Poll Tax - ie grossly unfair.

 

Done.

Morally and commercially it's the worst policy the club has ever introduced.

 

Done, but since when did the Allams start listening to other peoples opinion
