Has anyone had a reminder/email about renewing? Surely the lack of promotion/marketing just sums up the utter contempt in which the suits at the club hold us.

I’ve heard nothing from the club. 2 new ST holders after being out of the country for a few years. Desperate to get back into that Saturday routine.

Taken 1 season to make us Jack it in.

There has been no emails about it as far as i can see. I have had more emails about the gigs last weekend, and museum tours than about season tickets.

Odds on passing the deadline with no comms from the club on anything are beginning to look low.

How does our ffp thing work. I thought you had to submit a budget forecast and wages could only be a % of that?

In reality I'm sure we spend nowhere near the cap. I hope a reduced income won't be used as an excuse

They've "learned".
Hmmm, the kiosks usually deal with 4 to 5 times the number that turned up to these gigs.

Made me laugh when some of the usual cucks were arguing with me earlier that the budget was low because of FFP.

This was in response to me pointing out that our revenue would be a lot higher than other teams with clearly higher budgets/better squads.

With our Revenue, we would be allowed to spend in the region of 3.5m per year on wages, which is quite clearly well above what we do spend.  Even vague quotes form inside the club acknowledge that much.

To not have a bunch of food trucks brought in just seems plain weird to me.  I had assumed the promoter had taken on everything, but this sounds like the club ran the catering, in which case it simply shows to underline the point that we are operationally fucked as a club.

I *think* initial plans did have food trucks which would have been parked in front of the stratton bank. For whatever reason they obviously changed their mind. If i'd paid good money to go and see a band/bands at an open air gig and missed an act due to queuing for some refreshments miles away from where the band was playing i'd be hacked off. At least if you were queuing at food vans parked around the edge of the pitch, you could still hear and probably see what was going on.

Wycombe fucking wanderers. Yay.

That said, don't enjoy those games anyway

I remember policing the pre premiership season friendly away at Wycombe.

Oh how the mighty etc.
