Let's put up season tickets by £200.

[Bigbelly]

As the club only get a very small percentage (Paul Barber words on the Albion Roar) from pies and beers so instead of the brewery and Piglet making a mint then the club should take them out of the equation and hike season ticket prices to an extent that the club benefits and not them.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

We might only get a small cut of pie/beer sales, but does that include the license fee the vendor has to pay Albion for the privilege to sell to us?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

We need Barry Lloyd to re-run the 'Lifeline' campaign to fundraise to save the Albion.

as a supplier of food items to big events,ie glstonbury,reading,dorset steam fair,i wonder how much they pay?
for example for us to trade for one week at glasto,we had to pay 8 grand a the pitch

 

[Blackadder]

I fully expect them to go up by £200, WHEN we are promoted.

Paul Barber didn't mention how much they pay us so what he said I take as we're making very little money from them.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I would happily give up my home, pension benefits and CD collection to fund the Albion.

 

[joker]

if that is the case they need to re-negotiate with the breweries, I work in the licence trade so either the breweries are ripping the club off or the catering company, believe me there is a fair profit being made somewhere on the price of the beer.
The same with the pies, negotiate a better deal, they will not want to lose the business

 

[Bigbelly]

Wish the [MENTION=257]The Large One[/MENTION] had asked that question when he interviewed him. How much do the catering pay for their contract.

 

[Stuart Munday]

If season tickets went up by £200, how many people would not renew, a good several thousand in my opinion unless we go up. With the extra seats it should be easy to get tickets for any game if you are organised so it would a really bad decision. The club needs to negotiate a better deal with the catering as we must have some of the highest food/beer sales in the countryper fan and would be a real shame if the proceeds couldn't go into the club.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Paul Barber didn't mention how much they pay us

Exactly. It's all spin from Barber, make people think we're not making as much money as people predict so he can increase prices without a large outcry. Clever (should have been a politician).

I would as I'd cut out the beer and pies. It's rammed with with people buying pies and beers. Cut them out and they'll be able to afford the increase.

 

[downham seagull]

An increase of 30-50% is totally out of the question in the current financial climate. The club will charge more next season and a modest rise of 5-10% is fair and the club will have to cut its cloth is other areas.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

How about if Barber said this....

Season tickets will go up by £175 from next season.

In return, we will bring back Gully's Girls, let the fans choose our kit for next season, halve the price of being team mascot, and trial safe standing in the North Stand back four rows.

But fans/customers find money to gauge themselves on pies and beers?

 

[upthealbion1970]

If its £200 increase on st how much would match by match tickets increase by?

 

[moggy]

Does anyone know if there's still a waiting list for season tickets and if so, how many ar waiting?

 

[Bigbelly]

I have no problem with that and would pay it as spend triple that amount on pies and beer.

we will bring back Gully's Girls

That'll never happen, Paul Barber said they aren't axed but they are. He said he didn't want to speck about the subject again, end off, period! Having 4 Gully girls waving flags around before the teams come out and 6 walking around the pitch at half time is a token gesture, nothing more.

 

[The Large One]

How much people predict the income is is irrelevant.

I would suggest around £100 given the riches guaranteed when in the Premiership
