I agree with you on the playing side,but our management of the ticket office and the shop beggars belief! If we're agreeing deals to sign players at whatever salaries they're on,how is it we can't engage competent ticket office and club shop staff,on the phone and in the offices, at what must be a fraction of the player cost, to service the needs of,potentially,40k people,who want to come to watch,support,love,follow and idolise these players and this team.?
Our fan history,and attendances speak for themselves. There are at least a dozen PL clubs who would kill for our attendance level! It's not like there was any doubt!
For every 10 year old now who can't get a ticket,is a lifetime of income,and support, just thrown down the drain!
I don't understand it!
that is more valid a point than many will realise, getting the kids to the games is vital as is giving them something the chance to take something home with them (from the shop and club related) ...after my first visit to RP i was hooked, bought a scarf and proudly wore it day after day even though we were a bottom of division 2 club.
if all they can get are man utd or liverpool tops/merch who knows what dark path they will choose...
