    Season tickets?

    Yeah, we all got the same email come through at work. At least it will be the cards we will be collecting and not duplicates. Hopefully queues won't be too bad.

    Season tickets?

    I work for a Chinese company. In the office today we have a Bob, Ben, Michael, Jason, Ken, Apollo, Annie and a Jessica. If you are going to pick an English name, pick a good one. Apollo wins.

    Season tickets?

    That happened at an England game a while back. Ordered tickets via ticketmaster and they didn't arrive. We had to collect duplicates at the ground (it was Anfield) and so no real issue, until somebody rocked up in the ground saying we were in their seats - wafting around tickets that had our...

    Season tickets?

    Of course, but I think it is more than a few. Five of us at work have STs, but only 1 of us has received it. Could be coincidence of course, but clearly something has gone awry at ticketmaster. Ah well, on the plus side it means I have a genuine excuse for getting to the Ricoh at 11.30am and...

    Season tickets?

    Who is panicking? I can't see any comments above where there is panic. A bit melodramatic that. Going along and picking up duplicates from the ticket office is easy - the problem will come when 1000 have to do that at pretty much the same time. There is no harm in pointing out that...

    Season tickets?

    The issue is pretty much entirely down to ticketmaster from what I can see. The club should be having serious words. Mine haven't arrived, so I guess I'll have to collect duplicates on Saturday which is no major hassle really. The only concern is that there appear to be an awful lot still...

    Jim O'Brien

    Well that's perfectly fine. I don't see much fawning though - just people who will jump to his defence when others aim abuse at him - like a comment the other night when somebody said they would love it if he broke his leg. Baker was a decent player for us. He is also just about the nicest...

    Match Thread Coventry v Shrewsbury Match Thread - Saturday 13th Aug

    Don't have an issue with ST prices actually. They are fair. Matchday prices don't make much sense. Pay every game and it comes to £529 for the cheapest adult seat and £621 for the most expensive. All I am saying is that attendances will go down as a result. Hopefully not massively, but they...

    Match Thread Coventry v Shrewsbury Match Thread - Saturday 13th Aug

    It isn't rocket science Nick, you put prices up to that extent less people will go. You might get away with it in the PL where demand exceeds supply, but in division 3 at a ground where supply well exceeds demand, it just isn't going to happen. That's incredibly naive. Last season prices went...

    Match Thread Coventry v Shrewsbury Match Thread - Saturday 13th Aug

    It isn't though. Last season it was £20 anywhere, this season it is £23 to £27 depending where you sit. It shouldn't put many off really - the difference is a pint of beer. I'm one of those people who'll pay whatever they charge. Some people don't think like that. Bringing people through...

    Has the food gone up?

    Didn't we? 2015-2016: 12,570 2014-2015: 9,332 Performances played a part (and yes we played 2 games at Sixfields in 14/15, but that was cancelled out by the 28K against Gillingham which was a false gate). Of course, it's not true that if you half the price you double the gate, but it probably...

    Have to feel for the person managing the twitter account. Pretty thankless take at the minute.

    Has the food gone up?

    Why not raise it to £60 then? Last season we saw the first increase in attendances in years. Prices were excellent. We made a big song and dance about 'twenty's plenty' campaign and rightly so. From £18 to £23-£27 this season. It's a false economy. Gates will fall notably. Bradford have...

    Has the food gone up?

    Agree with you about the food - can't understand those who habitually have to eat at the football. As for tickets and parking, particularly ticket prices, the option to 'not buy it' is to not go to the game at all, and we don't want people making that choice. Yeah, food, drink, even replica...

    Ticketmaster / Pay on the Gate

    Aye. No escaping the fee I'm afraid! Every ticket we sell, home or away, £1 goes to TM, and £6 for every ST. Nice gig! It's the reason TM don't want potg. It falls outside the contract terms. Any potg option would have to include the extra charge as otherwise people would just do that and...

    Season tickets?

    Had one arrive Monday but 3 still to arrive. Same surname, postage address, date of purchase - so there doesn't appear to be any logic to the order they are sent out.

    Ticketmaster / Pay on the Gate

    The booking fee applies to all tickets. Print at home saves on postage and is convenient, but there is still a fee iirc.

    Not a chance of that really. Last season we averaged 12K and only dipped below 10K once. For the first home game of the season it would take something very weird to happen to go to 7900 home fans. 11K I'd say. Fancy a win too.

    Chris Anderson speaks..

    The frustrating thing is that this was predicted, people were warning this would happen. When they announced the t/o would be manned by up to 5 people it was obvious they could not possibly handle the walk-up for a cup game where many people would choose to pay on the night. Everything is so...

    Portsmouth Highlights

    I don't think they saw it. I know stats don't always tell the full story, but I think they did last night. Far more possession, 25 efforts on goal to their 12, far more of those on target, 13 corners to their 4. Ah well, it doesn't really matter but that did wind me up a bit!
