[Legends Lounge Lovechild]

No idea but i see the owner didnt attend

zoom meeting can be really tough to shcedule
especially ones you dont want to atend

[Outletred]

Just listened to some of that interview- switched off half way sorry could not sit through that

It was embarrassingly bad how is this guy a CEO?

The comments on ST having too many games was offensive considering most of us waived our monies and we pay out several months up front- the comments alone show just out of touch they are

Oh and the people getting in for concession tickets- yes they shouldn’t do it but can’t believe it would make that much difference to revenue overall.

They’re just looking at people to blame because they are hopelessly out of their depth running a FL club

Swindon Town FC launch their new ticket deals for the 23/24 season:

For only 650 you can get all 23 games, that's a mere 5% more than buying on the day and guarantees you a seat.  Those paying on the day retain their small discount, knowing they always take the risk there may not be any availability.

Want to spread that over 4 x monthly payment?  No problem, we have financing available at 49% APR to help you budget more effectively.

To make it simple for our simple fans, there is now only one price, the price of the seat.  We don't want to run the risk of legal action based on age discrimination, so this supports our aims of running a fair and equitable football club.  We have used the adult pricing from the 2022/23 season as we have more adults than children buying tickets on credit cards.

Last but not least, all fans buying season tickets need only select ONE of the following free services they are willing to provide the club next season:  a) Electrical work, b) a field upon which the first team can train or c) the provision of a free bicycle rack so we can get that ticked off the AB minutes once and for all.

Matchday tickets remain unchanged for adults, every one else will now be expected to buy the single adult ticket.  However, in a small change, this will now be a bid for a seat and is non-refundable.  In the event you do not win the seat lottery on a matchday you are welcome to try again at the next match.  You will also be required to spend 30 minutes staffing one of our concession stands, previous experience is not required.

You forgot the role of chief sandwich deliverer to the training ground

That will be the new top prize of the STFC Lotto

I see WBA are endearing themselves to fanbase also

Good news about the free parking though.

[Oaksey Moonraker]

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.
