You asked 'What other plan is there for any team in any league?' and I gave a list. It wasn't specific to us.
It may have been different back then but about 6 seasons ago we had a table in the circle restaurant and our seats were in the first row of West Upper, right on half way
Arent all those part of the main aim to get promoted? Do you think absolutely none of those things are happening at City as olm seems to believe?
What do you think that club are planning to do to fill the seats if we don't get promoted? An obvious place for me would be not ****ing off a large slice of your fan base, but as they haven't learned that lesson in the last two years, I'm not sure why you'd expect them to in the next two? The fact that we're considering closing a stand, during one of the most successful periods in our history, should be a concern, ranting ill-thought through bollocks certainly won't help.
Are you saying people are staying away until the Allams say sorry?? Fannies. I'd stick **** Gretton on the board that would get em flocking back. We got relegated "fans" leave. We start winning they'll come back. We have a **** season they wont. The Allams will have to lower season passes next season if we stayi n the Championship or it will drop further.
We lost 3,000 long standing season ticket holders following our most successful season ever, why do you think that was? Those 3,000 lost season ticket holders were replaced by 2,500 new season ticket holders, they were only there because we were in the Premier League, they've obviously gone again now. They've been joined by another 4,000 long standing season ticket holders who have decided they will either boycott home games, or will simply pick and chose the games they attend. I know you like to pretend that everyone else is a ****er and it doesn't matter if they all **** off, but personally, I think it's a direct result of appalling management and the sooner that's adressed, so the sooner we have a chance of filling the ground again. As for the drop in sales just being down to relegation, utter, utter ****ng bullshit, our season ticket sales would have fallen significantly this season even if we'd stayed up.
you're just making up numbers. We were getting crowds of 14000 when Bruce first took charge so where were all these long standing season ticket holders then? You have no idea and use made up facts to support your claims whoch cant be substantiated. People, according to Dutch, left because of the stand move. Your mate Exiled was pretty complicit in that and the Ultras. Is he doing out to rectify that?
Our lowest season in last ten years was an average attendance of 17,369, it's you who's making up numbers, not me. There are various reasons season ticket holders have not renewed, for some it was relegation, for some it was the name change shenanigans, for some it was the seat move, for some it was the massive price hikes, for some it was simply the disrespect shown to them by the owners. You can deny the massive part the Allams have played in the fall in attendances all you like, people on here aren't idiots, they can make their own minds up.
The average went up as the season went on duh http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19528046 Att: 14,756 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19378191 Att: 15,304 So theres about what 5? 6? thousand dedicated hard core ex season pass holders knocking about just looking for an outlet for their anger/pain. Now what could that be? And why cant you attract them??
Yep but you did your best. Yes and no. As have every owner we've ever had. Every manager too. What were our attendances like last season compared to your 17000 average? Why cant you attract members to the Trust? Its not a difficult question.
Bullshit, people have refused to buy season tickets because of the actions of the owners, you know it as well as I do, you're just not honest enough to admit it. Over 1,100 members for a trust, in it's first six months, is exceptionally good. It's double our initial target. It's far easier to get people to fund a campaign, than it is to get them to make the effort and part with cash to join a trust, which is why Man United have a larger membership than all other trusts combined. We're exceptionally happy with things so far, thanks for asking.
These are the two reasons that I didn't renew. Sad that these two no nowt, footballing wise, ****wits have driven me and a lot more away from the club by said shenanigans and disrespect.
What do you mean bullshit. I put yes and no. What was our average last season in the PL? Higher than your 17000. Higher than the season before and the season before that. That must be hard for you to take. If we'd have stayed in the PL the attendance would be higher than it is now. People are fickle. Win things, stay up and they'll attend. Get relegated and they'll look for excuses why they wont go. 27 or 28000 thousand went to Wembley but were too principled to go to PL game to make us a sell out. Figure that out. 1100 is **** you know its **** but cant admit it. He cant be that bad then can he. People see you as self serving and wanting to get onto the board but put no money in. They also see Gretton as a disgrace. They feel ctwd ****ed them over about the seat move. Theres some reasons why they wont join. Can you think of anymore.
As we prove our worth I expect our membership to grow, but as I stated, we're currently very happy with where we are. We're not going to get anywhere with this, you'll continue to slag off the trust whatever we do and we'll carry on regardless. Cest la vie.
The majority of our members are season ticket holders, we do publish this stuff if you're really interested in the details.
