New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Good news about the free parking though.

About 20 clubs in this league would love to have 5K plus season ticket holders and ours are not the cheapest by any imagination.

Yet, our club decide to open up a debate that wasn't needed and certainly not mid season when they might flog the odd season ticket or 6 game packages.

The question in the AB about lost ticket revenue could be coincidence or a planted one to then raise the season ticket discount?

Maybe they are being disruptor by saying the 40% free games (which is skewed by the higher 23x£27 walk up price) so people then settle for a 25% discount. Or maybe it's just incompetence.?

Not taking the piss when I say is it too late to ask for my covid season ticket money back? What an absolute bunch of twats

[Bob1978]

The advisory board minutes repeat the same c**p about giving away free tickets to season ticket holders. Very poorly written - I assume reading, writing and arithmetic isn’t out CEO’s forte

Will do.

Maybe this bunch of crooks would also have people more likely to buy the full price ticket if they realise the money was being used for good. A conflict for many people to support the team you’ve always followed vs giving money to a bunch of crooks. Easy fix is to pay for a reduced ticket (U21, over 65) as a happy medium.

I think this summer, with a hopefully all new hierarchy at the Trust, we could well be heading for a "no money, no Power" type campaign again. A disastrous January (there is no likely alternative), season tickets go up dramatically, accounts either don't materialise or reveal that we are being bled dry... Why would anyone still get behind these people?

RE the Australia academy - reckon it will bring it 25k - 50k per course

Seriously? How many people are they expecting on each course soapy tit wank

No cost to the club but it is revenue for the club... that seems like a strange way of doing it.

Yeah why would you chuck money at it with no benefit to yourself.

Bizarre

Our crowds have dipped by around 10% on last year. I can see them dribbling down to the 6k mark of our recent lows if things don't improve/change. Won't have to worry so much about ST holders then.

That's not true. Excluding away fans, we averaged 8510 for the first 9 games of last season, and 8354 for the first 9 games of this season. That's less than a 2% drop.

There's a line in the AB minutes, that it's only fair that we start paying back clem the £6m he's put in once the club becomes sustainable - did a fan really asks this! So, I'm not sure we can expect any more investment once we become sustainable.
I think our current trajectory is the only way we're heading with this lot in charge.

Is there?  I'll look later but if its only fan comment then it can be ignored

My interpretation of "not taking a penny out the club" was that he'd get his cash back (+ some) by selling some or part of the club. Which is fair enough on the face of it.

These are shambolic.
