Don't think there'll be many. Have the club said you'll need a ticket stub? Don't think so. But if you've spent money you might as well go, will be how most "occasional" fans will look at it I suspect
I don't want SISU (or any other venture capitalist) anywhere near the club, but I've been to every home game for the last three seasons. It's the team I support, not the owners.
What I don't understand is why people post on here, so clearly have Internet access, then complain because they couldn't get through on the phone or couldn't get to the Ricoh to buy tickets.
It's easy. Use the bl***dy Internet you p**ts!
There's some real crap being talked on this thread. The FACTS are as follows:
1. ACL take the same amount in match day fees that they do for every other match (this is the only money The club are paying them)
2. ACL share the profits from the food and drink concessions half and half with...
Not true that ACL get money from parking. They sold the franchise to the club, who sold it on (presumably at a profit.) So whoever bought it from the club gets the money, and the club have had their share already - as have ACL.
That's a matter of opinion. Having no cover for Adams but spending money on another RB is, whatever your opinion of Christie or Clarke, a waste of money.
It's more than Highfield Rd held as well - as an all seater stadium. I know the numbers being mentioned are official records, but they're not really comparable.
Neither the charity nor the council get any profit. There's a shareholders' agreement to plough any profits back into the arena e.g. Expanding the hotel. The two are only "intertwined" in so far as they are partners in ACL.
I think we tend to forget there were two teams on the pitch. Preston broke the game up, stopped us playing as we know we can, and all credit to them. It's not that we didn't play well, so much as we weren't allowed to.
I wasn't going to carry this on, but when someone insults me ...
I see what's wrong with the first bit, which I took to be a typo. But I see nothing wrong with "is" and "have".
OK, to get away from the sarcasm et al: if they're talking about us on the Today programme's sports desk, then people really are sitting up and taking notice. It's usually reserved for Premier League, Rugby internationals and dodgy horse racing tips.
I don't buy this "injury prone" malarkey. Players who keep themselves fit and train properly are unlikely to get injuries unless through accidents. Injury prone is just unlucky to my mind.
