mcfluff1985 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 4 hours ago, Pidge said: Strange post. Not the positive spin bit which is good, but the "thanking the owners bit"! There have been several rumors of offers to buy and take over from AL so done understand your "I don't see anyone else leaping to pick up the tab". If this present owner stopped treating the fans as just people who turn up to watch. If he run the club in a more professional way, if he employed more people who understand what that means (hopefully Evans is a start), then he would have reasonable season ticket sales. If he looked at the best way for the club to benefit from the new stand and partnered with the OEC etc, he wouldn't have to fund the club. The club budget has been cut so much, it could probably stand on its own 2 feet with all income streams running. Yes I know the lack of a crowd at present is a big problem for whoever owns the club, but with the fans backing it would all be so much easier! Had the game postponed yet?

Do the club still issue community ST's and are they excluded/included in the ST figures? I can't remember if they were ever included in published figures. Anyone else know? Then again the article does say "sold". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tGWB Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 With all thats going on and the uncertainty of when supporters will be allowed into the stadium, 1400 doesnt sound that terrible, Read predictions of 700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It's incredible [and commendable] that anyone has purchased a season ticket, given the unpredictability of the pandemic and our wayward government guidelines. Is it feasible that every game this season will be behind closed doors? Mind you, if restrictions are lifted, there should be no problem with social distancing at BP.

PeteG Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 On 9/11/2020 at 12:52 PM, unsworth blue said: That Dmaarms or whatever he is called seems to get a lot right from his "good authority" and the latest was that the owners sacked NA on the grounds that the ST sales were nowhere near what they were expecting and were rumoured to be fewer than 600. Given last year's 2500 (widely quoted) and the poor performance on field with our worst league finish for 60 seasons, I am sure the loss of 1000 ST holders would not be considered alarming enough to dispense with her services? I do expect the 600 to be much more in line with reality than 1500. Seems i was nearer the mark than Maarms on this occasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind Closed Doors Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Anybody any idea what the viewing figures are for our streamed games . If you were intending to watch the streamed games and return to the stadium should it be re opened wouldn’t it be an economic no brainier to buy a season ticket and get free streaming......especially for an over 65 ticket ?

LaticMark Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Does anyone know what the club's plans are for issuing season tickets? I usually pick mine up from the ticket office. However, if Greater Manchester is moved to Covid tier 2 in a couple of weeks, the club won't want 1,400 supporters descending on the ticket office because we have a home game a few days later!

Lee Sinnott2 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 With us almost certainly not being able to attend a game this season, surely the club will put something in place to refund ST holders.

I would say that goes a long way financially to repaying season ticket holders for their loyalty. Of course it can in no way replace or fully compensate fans for the real thing, but it does mitigate to some extent the unavailability of home games surely? These are extraordinary times and I agree its looking highly unlikely that we will get to see a game in the flesh this season - so some form of additional discount off next season’s prices may be a neat solution.

All valid points but I would suggest in law that you paid for something that was not supplied and in all likelihood are entitled to a refund . The contract might preclude refunds of course as it does transfer but they can’t make it up as they go along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure. One of the "perks" of being a ST holder is getting better value for money than POTD supporters. I don't think £230 worth of ifollow passes justifies the £270 layout that ST holders made in the middle of a global pandemic. From my side, I bought one after being told by the previous CEO that fans would be back in the ground in October. You could argue she saw me coming a mile off, but the less said about her the better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I suppose nobody really knew when we would be able to attend, just guessing. I purchased two (one concessionary) and could have saved £300 plus if I'd have just thought a little but it's only money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
