underdog Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 But I don't want Leeds scum up! and we've nothing to play for. Life is so unfair ain't it? so it is lags, so it is, foot is a funny old game, out of the fans hands as we know. I do really detest that club on the wrong side of the Pennines and would love them to stay in this division and one less trip down south too. However, after the over view from the ball and chain today on yesterdays game and reading passionate comments from Bristol and Big fin about it too. I also know you were there yesteray too so, I want more next Sat. Don't you think we deserve more? I am asking for one game that the product on the pitch justifies the expense to the fans next year. Give us passion, give us your all, give us a goal, give us a game. Sell me a season ticket for next year - I dare you..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 But I don't want Leeds scum up! and we've nothing to play for. Life is so unfair ain't it? I can't want latics to lose. Never. Regardless of what it does or doesn't do for anyone else. Hopefully Gas will do Leeds and Swindon will do Millwall (who cheated their way to 3 points at BP). Swindon up with Norwich, Charlton through the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My £276 was ready to be spent last Saturday, I walked round to the ticket office to renew my ticket but it was shut after the game, way to go Latics. I don't criticize much at BP but surely for the last few games of the season they should be maximising income opportunities. Several thousand latics fans in one area at the same time and they aren't able to give the club money? I tried to do it online but had second thoughts about the additional £6 fee so my bank account has had 2 weeks worth of interest on the money rather than Latic's account.

Small things cost money. I'm finding it harder to park my car down there these days as well. That must put some potential buyers of tickets / club shop merchandise / season tickets off.

Lags Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 For those who cannot justify £20 to watch 3rd Division football, get yourself a ST before the discount deadline and watch for £12 a match. If you cannot gather up all the cash in one lump use the easy payment offer this means you pay more but each match is still way way cheaper. Plus your new footy top will be £25 with your £15 off voucher in the ST. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who feels £12 is too much for 3rd Division football and why. Also get the kids into the Boundary Blues at £50 the season. £2.18 a match. That's a dad/mum and two kids for £16.36 to watch 3rd Division football folks. It's not bad that is it?

opinions4u Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Thr Boundary Blues £50 tickets are exception value, especially for 12-15 year olds who have to pay £11 on the gate. 5 games and you're up on the deal, even if you miss the other 18!! It's actually worth buying one for you kid and one for his mate - then they can entertain themselves while you get to watch the match .

And for those who think it may not be worth their while, all is I would say to that is do the math first, for the £276 ticket, even if you miss 8 games and go to the rest, you have still paid the equivalent of £19 a game which is what it costs on the door, hence still got your £££'s worth.

Yard Dog Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Dont think so, but you can buy one for the Main Stand upper, have a beer and walk down to the Paddock if you want So, from the Main Stand Paddock you have no access to a bar ? Might be a good thing for me and my pocket that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices are set at a good level Lags, I'm all set to buy one - but what are the club going to do to convince me to part with £276? Another season of playing for 0-0 until the last 20 minutes where we raise a token effort? Another season where we see defensive subs when losing a game? Another season where we see losing 2-0 to a top side as a 'positive', another season where two 0-0 draws are seen as the highlight of the season? Another season where we see loanee after loanee, another season where we start the campaign with a squad that has gaping holes in it. Another season where we panic over signing that elusive striker on deadline day becasue we pissed all the budget on 27 midfielders and 18 full-backs? As for the Boundary Blues, despite my best efforts my soon to be 12 year old is fed up, fed up of never seeing a goal, fed up of being bored :censored:less - it shouldn't be a chore, but since that fateful Tuesday night at home to Brentford in March 2005, something died inside me too- was it an Epiphany? I don't know, there have been a few ups since then but every time we take two steps forward we take 17 back. We need investment and a change at the top. TTA had a great opportunity to see this club promoted between 2005-07, they bottled up over RM, then failed to back Shez to consolidate on the success of 06/07 - tightening the purse strings was a pivotal and fatal decision. The longer I leave it for my ST, the less likely I will be to renew. I've still got a lot of time for Penney, but insipid, passionless football will kill the club abnd remove what few fans we have left. For that reason Penney has to fall on his sword if not then I'm sorry i'm doing a Duncan Bannatyne....."I'm out......" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangerinedreams Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Don't get me wrong, the offer is good value for money, will I be taking it up?.......time will tell.

Premier clubs like Rovers can subsidize the entry fee with massive sky monies from just one live televised match income. I realise that Lags but once you offset players wages/ maintenance and everything else that is involved with running a prem club just how much are they making....I wouldn't like to say but once they are up there, everything will be multiplied by x in relation to what Latics are paying. I thought it was good value at Wigan this season, but £200 at Ewood next season, does make me wonder whether they are actually speculating to accumulate here though.

TheBigDog Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The only inspiration to buy a season ticket is the same as it's always been. You follow OAFC. Spoken like a true supporter - Main stand upper - £13 a game - I'll have some of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The only inspiration to buy a season ticket is the same as it's always been. You follow OAFC. Agreed. People will and do make 1001 different reasons not to buy a ST, but as you say you only need one reason to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything was to happen it would be along the lines of sacking the current manager and replacing him with another one, a cheap one at that. Does that count as big?

outoftheblue Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Only the removal of the most tactically and motivationally inept manager the club has ever had the misfortune to employ, will persuade me to purchase my 24th season ticket in a row. I have little time for TTA, no faith whatsoever in the manager, and no heart to watch the club I've followed for 40 years in its death throes. Unless a new manager with adequate financial backing is in place soon, I will be elsewhere on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footy68 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 It started this year for me, but work has virtually nailed the coffin shut. The way things are now go beyond whether you have Latics at heart, in the past I'd upset my wife by changing a shift to watch Latics, but not for our anniversary or her birthday. Same with the money for away games, season tickets, and returning early from Holidays for 3 of us. Not any more. Had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
