blueatheart Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That's a :censored:ing fancy holiday that! And he still can't find £350.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Are you sure you've got your knobheads the right way round there? Next time you want to book a holiday send me the details first and we'll split the £3k saving. You can go in the 100 club seats and, using your own twisted logic, enjoy the same game far more than the people who didn't fund it from saving money on a holiday Well done Harry at last you got something correct-but not much of the saving will be going into Corney's pocket. If I had been mugged to join the 100 club this season I would have had a lot more to complain about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddySmoker Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I find this all very disturbing. First the offer of a gamble on our results if we stump up £350. Yes I paid my £350 and now wait for some sign that the prize earned of £150 is going to be repaid. Second a limited offer of £50 off the now confirmed price of £350 for a 2016/17 season ticket. Why does this disturb me you might well ask. Obviously they made the first offer because they needed the money for some reason. It now seems obvious that the second offer has been made because they need to raise cash to pay me and the 1,000 others our cash prize. What is going to happen next season if all the money from these two offers has already been spent? THIS***********************. Some people just cannot understand what a crap deal this was for the Club-OUR Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 'Almost'... It was always in there. £300 is 50% more than £200. That's not 'almost' twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) There really are some sad cretins that follow us... Hey...I couldn't afford a season ticket for the first time in about 10 years the season we had the Grimsby freebie game (paid in every home game still) and got locked out of it. Did I piss and moan about it??? No...it's life... Edited April 14, 2016 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Think this will be the first time in 6 or 7 years I don't bother. Wasn't able to stump up the £350 and now knowing that most are going to be paying £200 (whilst not begrudging the offer or those who took advantage of it), I don't fancy paying almost twice as much as others. In fairness, it probably gets given away 10 times a season so it's not necessarily the most cost-effective purchase anyway. I'll probably just pay into the 7 or 8 games I really fancy and do the same number of aways. Can you kindly change your username to longtimebluewhenitsuits then please?

boysinblue Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just renewed mine now - a miracle, as I was convinced I wouldn't be a few months back. Ticket office say they've done brisk trade and there aren't too many discounted ones left available - but should last into tomorrow at least.

RobOAFC Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If the offers are bad for the club then pay your £350 and gloat about how much your helping OUR club out compared to the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't think they do them on imaginary holidays. If I had used the example of £300 compared with £600, would that have made you feel better about yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Cashflow no doubt played a part but they lost a lot of goodwill fudging up the opening of the new stand, they had to do something (even if though the offer came with no guarantees) Fair point but it has become a costly initiative prompting further offers to provide funds for the refunds to be paid. It is all about nicking funds from a later date and then nicking even more to satisfy the cost. If the club had a flexible market for ticket sales it would be a lot more encouraging. The problem though is that it doesnt-the paying customers are down to the 'hardcore' supporters and this initiative merely gives them some satisfaction-it doesnt attract new income!

yarddog73 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I will renew mine once the chairman has backed the manager sufficiently ahead of next season. Don't always buy one but would like to see the supporters bar finished and a reasonable squad assembled before committing my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozman Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I really don't understand the negativity towards these offers shown by some posters. The club put on an offer which turned out well for those of us who took it up. Obviously, some fans were not able to given the short notice, others didn't want to. The club puts on another offer to allow fans who couldn't/didn't want to participate in the first offer to still get a (smaller) discount. Very fair of them in my opinion. Of course ,the club may have other motives that have contributed to making the offers (i.e. cash flow) and they may not (several other solvent clubs started selling season tickets before us). As fans, we can't influence that, so why would you not take advantage of one of the discount offers if you were planning to get a season ticket anyway? The bloke sat next to you may have paid less than you if he got in on the first offer, but you've both paid less than you would have done otherwise.

thetramfixer Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 maybe through the season, as they have done in the past at historically poor attended games due to Xmas or whatever, they will do a three for the price of 1 ticket or summat? who knows .. that would normally trigger complaints from some season ticket holders .. time will tell.
