Quite a few OWTB Members who appear to be clinging on to their views that no matter what, we will never attract more support than we currently have so what's the point in trying A strategy of not bothering to stimulate customers in an ever decreasing number of supporters is partly one of the reasons we find ourselves were we are Simon Brooke was advised that this was the route the club had decided to go on. He questioned why only a short term "early bird" window that it was not enough to get one payday only and they did listened with regards to the other pricing. This was only discussed a few weeks before roll out...not like on going discussions say 6 month previous. He gives his time free to the club on non-match days and match days too, he offered advice when asked and questions the status quo when needed. Why then should he offer his own company to help too at his costs when it seems no other board member wants too or is in a position too help? On a personal note and it will seem harsh, its not a "surprise" every year with regards to coughing up for a season ticket is it. We all know its coming. Just the fact that its been thrown out there without justifying, longer timescales, loyalty been rewarded again I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This years offer was a surprise, we didn't know it was going to be so early or that we would have so little time. Your final sentence lists the three main areas of disappointment. Harsh? You're right on that score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 This talk of "loyal supporters" being "rewarded" - rewarded for what? While I'd prefer to pay less for anything I understand the value of things and as a "loyal supporter" £300 is in the right ball park. I'd rather the club price admission and season tickets at the optimal level to generate the most revenue that can go towards signing & paying better players. I think they've got it about right, all things considered. If they could reward me by winning more matches and scoring more goals that would be great. What next - let's "reward" "loyal sponsors" by asking them for less money? Let's reward loyal suppliers by paying them more than they've asked for?

I'd agree with you on that one, especially as concession prices don't go up after the first deadline. Not renewing myself, back to uni in September so back to being a pay-on-the-dayer for next season, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 For those saying March is bad, May is good as deadlines go, stick it on a credit card for a couple of months. Interest charged will be significantly less than the £60 or £120 mark up for buying later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of this is that you don't need £300 cash right now to take advantage of the £300 season ticket offer. You can pay layer right?
