Why the HELL is it taking so long for season tickets?

[Knotty]

I think it's great, that unlike the last couple of end of seasons that we are struggling to find sticks to beat the club with and things like this are the best we can come up with this close season. No gripes about managers, deadwood players etc etc.

The buggers are getting it together at last

No, no, there are more sticks...

Why have we not been told what Ken Brown had for breakfast this morning?

And why is it raining this morning? Surely the club should tell us!

 

[Mendoza]

Do you really think that there are some who would have bought a ST this week, but won't now do so next week?

It could happen, imajority of people get paid the first/last day of the month, they would have been paid the day before the Stockport game. As the days go one, they spend their money, and have less disposable money for a season ticket.

They will then have to wait til the next month to be able to afford one, but by then, football is not so much at the front of peoples minds as they turn to drinking outside, cricket memberships, playing golf or going on holiday

The interest would then pick up closer to the season, but maybe after a panic that not many season tickets have been sold since the end of the season

Norwich sold 15,000 on the back of not knowing which league theyd be in

 

[Easy 10]

This is just a pre-season warm up!

Indeed. And I can now exclusively reveal the 2009 NSC Binfest Fixture List:

16/5 Why havn't we made any new signings yet ?
19/5 Frozen season ticket prices ? We should have a 50% DISCOUNT FFS
20/5 Why havn't we offered Owusu a contract ?
21/5 Why the HELL have we given Owusu a 2 year deal ?
23/5 Orient have signed Clungebert Fandango. Why havn't we made any NEW signings yet ?
3/6 Why hasn't my season ticket turned up ?
6/6 Glenn Murray was pissed on the pier today. Is this how a professional athlete should behave ?
12/6 The club shop closed at 4.30 today. WHY ?
17/6 Why are we ALWAYS away on the opening day ? Is it those bloody GAYS again ?
21/6 Where is my f***ing season ticket ?
27/6 The new away shirt it SHITE
28/6 Why can't I get the new away shirt ?
3/7 Why do we always play non-league RUBBISH pre-season ? Its hardly preperation is it ?
5/7 Can't even beat BOGNOR, we're going down. Slade OUT.
10/7 So what mugs going to pay a TENNER to watch a friendly against Pompey ?

Huh, well your rumour about Murray would have lost a bunch of season ticket applications for yesterday, had they been on sale. In fact it may have resulted in some payments already made being cancelled

Sorry, I may be wrong, but I just don't agree with that. People know that STs will go on sale sometime soon and they know roughly what the price is going to be. Neither is going to come as a surprise at the wrong time is it?

You can copy and paste that for any fans who bugger off for a few weeks on holiday and then return asking what has been going on during the summer break

 

[Man of Harveys]

Why the HELL don't we have a 24/7 webcam on Ken Brown, featuring his toilet trips, conjugal duties ("sorry love, I seem to have sent out the season ticket renewal form a little early tonight"), meals etc? Bloody AMATEURS.

 

[The Large One]

I get what you are saying but how come other clubs have done it? Take Norwich, they were unsure which division they would be in but came up with a clever piece of marketing which has resulted in them having over 18,000 season ticket sales for a club that has dropped into 3rd tier football.

How do you propose we sell over 18,000 season tickets?

What was the clever piece of marketing?

[Scotty Mac]

when will the early bird prices be up until, bearing in mind that it is not really much of an early bird?

 

[Billy the Fish]

17/6 Why are we ALWAYS away on the opening day ? Is it those bloody GAYS again ?

That is a guaranteed 10 pager, and one of my favourite annual binfests

 

[portlock seagull]

That's just it - it's not a valid point. It's not taking a long time - it's taking the right amount of time.

No - it's a very valid point. Not just "what does Ken Brown do"? But "who IS Ken Brown?"

 

[Easy 10]

No - it's a very valid point. Not just "what does Ken Brown do"? But "who IS Ken Brown?"

Perhaps its not even that. Perhaps we should be asking:

"What IS Ken Brown ?"
"What is the ESSENCE of Brown ?"
"What does Ken Brown MEAN ?"

I think the answer can only properly be expressed through the medium of dance.

 

[Titanic]

No - it's a very valid point. Not just "what does Ken Brown do"? But "who IS Ken Brown?"

Perhaps you could email him or ring and ask him yourself? ken.brown@bhafc.co.uk or 01273 695400

 

[The Large One]

No - it's a very valid point. Not just "what does Ken Brown do"? But "who IS Ken Brown?"

He knows the answer to that. So why ask again?

I feel a dance coming on.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Perhaps we should be asking:

"What IS Ken Brown ?"

Exactly. Reminds me of a conversation in a pub I had with some Luton-supporting colleagues after we'd recently played them. The office Tim Nice But Dim (except he wasn't nice) leaned in and said "sorry, WHAT is Luton exactly?" Not where, not "who are they", but what. It's a thin line between idiocy and genius sometimes.
