Won't someone think of the family of four ! Personally I haven't bought a season ticket for 2 seasons and the one before that I gave away just after Xmas, I just think the club could perhaps try a little harder before they spunk another 4 season tickets.

Nah. We've got 3, not getting anythingback that anyone else isn't. Shit happens. You pays your money you takes your chance. Absolute minority there kicking up a stink. Balls to it. Maybe I should ask for a refund on the basis we were shitter than the top 10 squad our CEO said we had. Can I claim money back because the product isn't as promised? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Banks, Zone 3 16 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1 hour ago, pk200 said: finding it hard to follow the thread here but is he saying .....4 tickets but only getting a benefit to watch ifollow on 1 'cos can't watch it 4 times in same household? If this is the case , is not some recompense due? But if the 4 household members turned up at Boundary Park (Covid notwithstanding) would they all be expected to be allowed in for the price of one, on the basis that they're all watching the same game?! Even if they're all watching it at home on iFollow there's still 4 of them watching it, so 4 x £10=£40! I do kind of get the point of the argument though, but I'd say it's a non-runner I'm afraid.

I apologise, I work and live around a lot of people who have died or have been affected by the pandemic so I get easily irritated by people who moan about the little things in life when the picture of the world is so much bigger. My life is working, the kids and watchin latics every chance I get. So I get people bein frustrated bout not watching live footy. But its a small price to pay. Especially when a large portion of fans in BP would be vulnerable due to age. It was a harsh comment by me but the base is still valid 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're already cheaper than most in that league These people have pitched up here with no capital to buy the stadium - no capital to improve the playing squad - with zero attendances, somehow, enough capital to keep us afloat supported by government capital. And now, somehow, enough capital to quite heavily discounted season tickets for their 4th season of ownership. We have witnessed mayhem with staff rotation with barely a whiff of improvement after the event in any area.

Lee Sinnott2 120 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I think MarmiteJohn has a point really. The ifollow stream was touted as "complimentary" by the club at the start of the season, but it isn't complimentary because it has cost ST holders £270 for the service. I'm not too fussed about it, but I can understand why people are... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have to question the sanity of someone actually willing to spend £1.8m on a badge and an EFL membership. My advice to AL would be to take the money and run because he’s certainly not going to get any more!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to selling, because of the state it’s in now it’s worth 200k. When the estate breaks the news that the best offer he’s had is 180k- you inform him you want 330k minimum. 300k for your initial outlay and another 30k for the bills you’ve paid whilst living there. .

Either he has very thick skin or someone has convinced him the Premiership is the bottom of the ladder whilst League Two is the top rung. Whatever, he appears is committing financial suicide and destroying the club at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thought the same myself BP, and I to would like the option especially for long away trips. I think it will almost certainly be scrapped though. Clubs want their home fans back, can charge more for a live event and how do you know who is an away fan or home fan? It would have a massive impact on crowds IMO if it carried on post covid.

Thats why I said it works better for Blitz even though original post was aimed at AL. I suppose the ‘house’ in that case refers to the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
