JerrySLO Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Jerry - as you’re here can you please ask as part of the renewals that the club illustrate the likely impact of the new TV deal on timings of games. A lot of supporters not on here won’t be aware that the expectations of Saturday 3pm will be in jeopardy and it’s really unfair to ask supporters to renew without giving them full details of the possible impact. In fact, it may even be argued as being against fair sale processes. I'll see what info we have been given at this point. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54-46 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Say the same every year but I really wish there was some recognition of fan loyalty whereby a sliding scale of discount is offered relative to consecutive years you've been a ST holder. Also - really dont understand the reduced prices for over 65s. Most of them have far more disposible income than someone still bringing up kids and paying a hefty mortgage.

I hope those that wanted season ticket holders to be moved out of the south stand will now take up our empty seats.

Up against Champions League and b. All on TV anyway. Sod all potd there...

The fact the snake and the personality vacuum are front and centre of the image tells me all I need to know about where the club is heading.

Sir Geoff Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, Supersonic Robin said: It's an incredibly strange choice of image. 7 people in the photo, only one of which is a current first team player. Is it normal to have a big picture of the club's technical director on such a post? Surely the club know that Tinnion and Manning are relatively unpopular figures within the fanbase right now, so why make them so prominent in the advert? We seem to have used this as an opportunity to double-down on a couple of unpopular appointments. Very odd. Two failed managers and our current kit man. Weird. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 27 minutes ago, JBFC II said: As far as I'm aware it's because of the number of people buying u12 Season Tickets in the South Stand and then not using them. The South Stand has apparently been at less than 60% capacity this season despite being 'sold out' every match. This is the best way the club could think of to change that No way has it been at less than 60%. Maybe last Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
