All directors of a football club have to go through Fit and Proper Persons test before being allowed on a board though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 7 hours ago, Ryan said: Pretty sure it hasn’t been officially announced yet but it seems ticket prices have been slashed for 2018/19 having just taken a look at the website for the MK Dons game. I’m assuming there will be a slight (£2?) increase on the day but it’s still much better value than last season. There’s a new under 21 category - didn’t non-students over the age 18 have to pay £24 on the gate last year? That’s a massive saving. Fair play to Abdallah (no I haven’t been hacked ). The worst thing about this, is that anyone getting as far as that would almost certainly have been prepared to pay the previously announced price. As others have said, more needs to be done to get them to the ticketing purchase point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a board director I'd be asking players to go round to schools and colleges announcing this initiative, some like Dan Garder are very good promoting in the community. You have done your best in the past but come up against brick walls. I appreciate that Jorvik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of community programmes happening over the summer that could be given details though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the Community Trust do a fantastic job with this, one of the best things about the club at the moment. It's other kinds of marketing they could be working on.

dec666 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's a £2 deduction to reflect our relegation. I don't think adults are going to be flocking to BP for such a saving. The under 21 price is a good move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I naively assumed that meant a bit of a web whizz but perhaps they just need someone with access to a photocopier and a box of drawing pins.

oafc1955 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Just rang the ticket office at 9.30am for FG away tickets but pressing ‘1’ as advised cuts me off. I rang the club main switchboard and they are closed until 9.00am. Are there any employees left to take the call....what the f*** is happening at our club because at the minute everything seems a complete shambles?

dec666 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 £4 increase on the day still. I just don't see the benefit of this? All it does is potentially deter fans from turning up on the day. Some fans can't commit beforehand due to work commitments etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we can go into Tameside though, as there's no league club in Tameside. We might be able to go into Stockport for the same reason but can't see kids commuting that distance.

Agree and without going back to the same discussion, same applies for a group of adults too for a decent place to socialise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
