How do you know we don't?
FZ aside we have expensive kids tickets, Evo has said he could be looking at a 25% increase.
We should be getting as many youngsters through the gates as possible and setting pricing that encourages that.
We still don't sell out most weeks, we should be trying to get...
You've totally missed my point.
Pricing kids out now may mean losing them for the future.
We won't always be having the relative success we are having now.
Selling tickets is easy at the moment. But we need to be realistic.
At some point we're going to need supporters through the gate when the...
Don't disagree with that.
Coventrys attendances in 10 or 15 years time won't be his concern.
Short sighted of supporters to get on board with it though in my opinion.
Comparing us to Liverpool is pointless.
They've had decades of top level success. Even when they went through a fallow period league wise they were still bagging trophies including a champions league.
We won't always have it as good as we do now.
My worry is how much will support drop away.
I dont think bearing that in mind when thinking about growing the young fan base is a bad thing. And I'm saying that as a fan, I can see why King isn't thinking about what happens in 10 or 15 years time.
I dont think fans do want to stand still.
I just think many of us think child prices are too high.
I also think we should be cultivating future support. It won't always be as good as it has been of late, the wider the young fanbase now the better in the future.
I appreciate what happens in 10...
To be fair, my one major criticism of our pricing under King has been kids tickets and I've said I'd gladly pay more to subsidise them so I'm not jumping on the bandwagon and I'm prepared to put my money where my mouth is.
To be fair, some of its come from an ITK. Anything he post get discussed at length so this wasn't going to be any different. And given his info is fairly good I'd imagine there is something to it.
Can you have a word with this fella, coming out with all sorts of speculation on the transfer thread. He should wait until some actual facts to are published
We've had, by our standards, an incredible 8 years.
Selling tickets at the minute is like selling ice cream on a hot day.
Mr. Whippy has to be a bit more creative if he wants to punt 99s when it's minus 6.
If we're not going to discuss rumour and conjecture may as well shut the forum down for the summer as they form the basis of most threads on the front page.
