Would you like to try that again in something that resembles English?

 

[northstandnorth]

No, we're not making that assumption, but there are supporters who travel away regularly, but cannot afford a season-ticket. The whole point is that we value all of our supporters the same. We hold all of our supporters in high regard; we have tried to make the allocation of a limited number of tickets for an away game as fair as possible, but when demand outstrips supply you can't please everyone.

A QUOTE FROM INSIDER
that plain enough for you bwian

no group should have priority over another or preferential treatment just because of economic clout.

"no group should have priority over another or preferential treatment just because of economic clout."
BEST DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD IN A LONG TIME.

Aren't they already? If all season ticket holders decided that this is the season for not renewing there wouldn't be any funds to run the club. Period! Looks a bit like a controlling entity to me...

 

[Ernest]

I wonder how many season ticket holders will simply say bollocks to it and either renew in July or simply not bother seeing as how hated we are.
Of course the fact that there won't be a club if people don't renew seems to have escaped a lot of people.

 

[northstandnorth]

so why do these "loyal"season ticket holders buy a season ticket?

to see the albion 23 times a season
or to be the ultimate glory hunters/big game charlies

buy 23 cut price tickets in the hope of getting a BIG ONE

are you really trying to argue that because you wern't first in the queue for a BIGGIE(away) you are going to take your revenge by not renewing next years discounted ticket?

why do season ticket holders feel that they are doing the club a favour?


take your discount(dont forget the booking fee i pay on top of a top price ticket.no it dont go on postage i pick up at withdean when possible)and stop sulking

 

[bhaexpress]

Well, to be honest we are superior to the rest of you so it makes sense.

 

[The Large One]

Gasp! 4,500 people in control of the Albion...

 

[Beach Hut]

Gasp! 4,500 people in control of the Albion...

And how will we reach any decisions

Ha,ha, ha, ha.... So that's why we have such an active Board outside DK and Poodle (on Falmer only!).

 

[The Large One]

Ah, so that's why we're in the shit - we have an inactive board of directors. Silly me, and there we were blaming the NIMBYs and Lewes District Council.

why do season ticket holders feel that they are doing the club a favour?

So £445 up front is not doing the club a favour in terms of cashflow? If that's your view then you really are a muppet.

Discount? Hardly mate.

I understand that not everyone can afford the best part of £450.00 in one lump sum but without 4,500 of these the club cannot plan a playing budget.

Don't forget if we don't go to the game the club still have our money. If you don't go they don't! It's quite simple really.

Yep, including two who walked-out recently and have not been replaced. One of which was titled "Commercial Director" i believe.

The Nimbys as you term them have a legitimate right to fight a development that they do not agree with, i don't see LDC's point though. However, the whole problem comes down to a skint Board trying to get a stadium on the cheap, in a controversial location. A Board with real money would have given priority to the speed of the development, and found a site that they could have build upon somewhere in Sussex years ago! This board has no choice but to hand on untill the grim death in support of Falmer, as they have no money to spend on another planning application.

Oh dear, what a very silly post.

1. Where is your evidence for getting 'a stadum on the cheap'? £2.5m so far spent with no guarantee of return for a project which could ultimately cost £60m is hardly cheap. Unless of course you are minted - in which case, why haven't you put any significant money in?

2. Any location in or near Brighton is controversial. The city is full up. The Downs to the north and the sea to the south and a lack of brownfield sites hampers ANY building project, which is why so many plans are being submitted for tower blocks. We can only build UP.

Successive boards have tried to move away from the Goldstone almost since we moved in in 1902. No-one with anything like enough planning expertise has been utilised or employed by the club until Martin Perry turned up. That shows how much of a pain in the arse the possibility of moving the club has been. In other words, these previous boards took two looks at their pie in the sky ideas, realised the aggravation involved, and decided not to bother.

3. A Board with real money? Which board is that then? The one in your fantasies which has yet to make itself known?

4. This current Board HAS given priority to this project. It’s the single biggest thing occupying the board. That's why it is costing us so much money, and why we are not spending silly money on new players. The speed to which you refer is not of the club's doing - it's the government. Now do you honestly think the Brighton & Hove Albion FC can tell HM Government exactly what to do and when to do it?

But all of this stuff is in the public domain and has been for ages. I suppose one can't help it if not everyone pays enough attention before gabbing off.
