Lee Sinnott Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Winger for Halifax has gone on Love Island. I imagine they'll be tearing his deal up after this breach of contract but certainly not ideal preparation two weeks before the new season...

How's the due diligence going? You'd be a lot more credible if you ever criticised the outgoing regime in anything like the terms you save for the people who tried to make that happen. Anyway, moving on to the issues of £200 or £300 for a season ticket - Bradford went down the cheap route, got a full ground, but with artificially constrained spending power to go with it (which they didn't use well, either). I think it is impossible to quantify what added value having 4,500 (rather than 3,000) fans in the ground offers, but I do know that they actually have to be there in person to deliver it. And I don't think you can be sure that the kind of supporters who are mainly enticed in by cheap tickets will stick around if results aren't all that good. All of which is a long winded way of saying that the basement prices model doesn't necessarily work and may create unhelpful expectations for the future. At a club that seems to need a considerable investment in capital infrastructure and a new management structure I don't think it is in your longer term interests anyway.

Lee Sinnott Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 They'd sell just as many ST's at £300 as they would at £200. They'd be foolish, in my opinion, to reduce the prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say we have circa 5/6 thousand fans. The vast majority of those are POTD, who pick and choose based on a number of factors- the main one being AL, when the takeover is done some of these will return, some will wait till we win a few games, some will still just go away for the day out. A few will buy a season ticket with the renewed hope. The amount of season ticket holders, who had one- stopped going- and are now saying they won’t with new owners charging £300 is absolutely minuscule. That’s why they need to make them cheaper, not to entice lapsed season tickets holders- they’ll get them anyway. But to get the casual potd fan to more games. £200/£225 from a season ticket is better than £100/£150 from potd. It’s a no brainer, and I’ll be very surprised if they don’t capitalise.

Monty Burns Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 lve spent 90% of my life in a position where l will skip meals to watch Latics. the difference between £200 and £300 is about a months stretched out food shopping and wind up merchants either wana be wind up merchants or ignorant twats fair do's. but £200 adult and cheap as fuck for u23's under new ownership will have 6000 in.

It's an interesting debate. Obviously cheaper is better when it comes to the fans, but in terms of pure revenue will the increase in the number of those paying at cheaper prices cover the losses incurred by charging less to those who would have paid the higher price anyway? Then there's the benefit of having more in the ground for more noise supporting the team, increased match day takings etc. I think in the end it probably ends up being a close call on the best route to go. But my hunch would be that owners would possibly do it to generate goodwill but have to accept it may see lower revenue generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be 6000 there in this league even if tickets are 50 quid, at least not until we start acting like the big fishes we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
