We are Over Achieving!

Well there is myself and my two sons in B block - I sincerely hope this is not the case otherwise there will be a severe letter to the club about this.

Completely unacceptable to say the least.

North centre- 495
North singing & east wing- 445
South centre & singing- 435
South wings & south east- 405
East- 382
Family stand- adult & u16- 470
adult & u10- 422

Like I said,to me it doesn't matter too much because we were never intending to renew but I think they're in for a bit of a shock come August with low season ticket sales.
I know of at least 8 people that aren't renewing.

Time to get Dick Knight on the fans phone in NOW

North stand is nigh impossible to get a season ticket in

That's exactly it Yorkie.
Unless we moved to the "new" family stand we'd have to pay the normal south stand prices for next season.

.. or maybe I havent really thought this through though. I guess you are subsidised to a certain extent ? .. but that's the point of family tickets and encouraging parents to bring youngsters isn't it.

Essentially though, if the amount I was used to paying went up by 200 pounds for the same seats I'd think twice about renewing.

From what I can understand the club has or will be moving the family stand. Therefore the choice is move to the new family stand and continue to pay the same or stay where you are which will no longer be a family stand and pay full price.
I don't think it's unreasonable. If the seats are now worth more they will be losing money (£200 per season in this case) for each one they don't sell at full price.

Brilliant post - This is what I've been saying for months!

So give the kids a far inferior view?
That'll make them want to come back.

Beach Hut, haven't you brught your Sunday teams to games using that stand?
Have they enjoyed it?

I'm sorry I used to steward in that stand and the view is terrible.

This needs investigation under the trading standards act.

For a start the family prices are inflated by quite a bit I am sure I only paid about £750 for three seasons for this year (one adult, 2 children).

Why should the fans of tomorrow have to have the worst seats in the ground ?

What about those who have paid in advance ?

This will go down really well a spectacular own goal by the club.

I'm looking at it from a business point of view. The Mcghee out brigade are moaning because we've got no money for players but essentially you are arguing that the club should lose £200 a season on each seat to let people stay in the old family stand. You can't keep everyone happy all of the time.
Besides, I thought they were the same view more or less. Aren't both stands either side of the goal behind the running track?

Yes but why should I move from the south stand. What is the reduction for a child on the £405 price ?

I've thrown the letter away but from memory it was about £235

 

[Beach Hut]

I've thrown the letter away but from memory it was about £235

Therefore to remain where I was is £235 x 2 = £470 + £405 = £875 ?

Around £125 more per season ?

Well maybe they could of offered a cheaper rate for next season maybe £100 more ?? But if several people dont renew we will lose more money than we gain by charging £200 extra

I thought my Mrs worked it out as more than that but as I said I don't have the letter anymore.

Just going back to the subject of this thread (dull, I know, and this is arguably even duller), but I spent a little time at Ipswich station this afternoon waiting for a train to replace the one from Norwich which broke down (the so-called One train company presumably meaning One out of Ten). According to last night's programme, we've had a aggregate attendance at Withdean this season of 114,860. NC have had 402,446. At, say £15 a ticket average, that's an extra £4.314million they've earned, or £22,350 per day more than us since this season began... To be fair, Crewe, Luton and Millwall aren't much better off than us - but they don't have a planning appeal to nurture.
There - told you it would be dull...

Don't bore us with facts. We want unsubstantiated rumour and bullshit.
