Yeah I guess if you're going up as a spur of the moment thing it's more of an arse, ideally there'd be some kind of middle ground where you could get them signed them up in person within a few seconds with the same convenience (unless there is that already, not a clue)

You can if you have a birth certificate sign up in person, although not many will be carrying them.

If you intend to take kids up all season then its worth doing and fairly straight forward.
But if you are just going as a walk up and want to take kids it's not workable.
Hence just make kids under 12 free when they arrive with any adult.
More adults will come and more kids will hopefully get the bug.

Pretty sure hundreds of parent queuing up to prove their kid is under 12 sounds less workable than flashing some sort of JSB card at the turnstile or whatever they do.

I was walking round Tesco the other day and fancied a sandwich but it turns out I had to go to the till and pay for it before I could start eating it.
What a pain in the arse.
Also, when I got home yesterday I tried to walk in the front door but I hurt my face, turns out I had to open it first.

Were you eating the sandwich when you walked into the door?

New plan: do a deal with the register office to include JSB membership as a very small print opt-out as part of new birth registrations. It'll technically make us one of the best-supported teams in the country after a while, and technically is always the best way to win something

It's ridiculous that you have to get a driving license to drive a car, you should just be able to get in any car and drive it. More people would get the bug then.

That defeats the object of the JSBS and takes away one of the main selling points and de-values it.

Even if you want to go to 2 or 3 games a year maximum, it still pays off to just sign them up as a JSB in the summer.

You will get more kids going through the turnstile my way.
........... and adults.

To get the free season ticket don't you need an adult season ticket as well ?

You also don't have things like birthday / christmas cards to the kids, you don't get invites to the kids party, you don't get letters from Sky Blue Sam addressed to the kids. There also wouldn't be the free gifts that the kids seem to love getting at the start of each season as well. Then you get the sheet of vouchers which will save you more money.

It's not really breaking the bank to sign them up pre-season, then your kid gets free tickets all season if you go to 2 games or every game.

JSB package is well worth it - free season ticket too! In addition they get birthday card, Christmas card, free gift (usually bag or bottle etc) invite to the Christmas party and for the 'occasional fan' some vouchers that entitle 2 adults and 2 kids to go to a game for £22. In fact even if you don't have kids but only plan on going to a few games, sign up your niece/nephew and you'll be better off - they might even go along and enjoy it too!

If you want the kid to have a season ticket of their own, then it needs an adult to get a season ticket with them....

Its not the money its the inconvenience of committing at the start of the season and in other peoples cases buying a season ticket to get the free kids season ticket.

Give it a rest italia. The offer is excellent, it's what fans have wanted. The jsbs, along with the academy are the best things about the club.

So non season ticket holders can't take their kids for free. Thats my point.

Yes they can. The kid doesn't then get a free season ticket (the physical card) but they get free entry to every game on a match by match basis with an adult.

At least try to understand what it is you are saying doesn't work before saying it.

FFs even if you have to pay a fiver for them its an adult and a kid for a tenner! What else can you do for that money these days? Take them to MacDonalds and it costs more than that, Cinema, any other sport (even no-league) it's a great offer. If I lived local to an event like this and was doing nothing and didn't even support that team I'd go (unless I lived in Leicester - we all have limits!)

Very nice of the club to do this and also to prove to themselves and then the fans that the price elasticity is completely fictitious unless we do actually fill up the Ricoh so over to the fans, a lot have been squealing about how the club have done things wrong and the need to make it attractive.

It's you that keeps missing the point on this.
I'm saying all kids under 12 should be free with an adult.
You keep saying get them to become a JSB.
I'm saying that is inconvenient for most fans to do that so its not the answer if we want to encourage kids.
This match is a great deal but it's a one off and then the kids won't come because of the overall family cost.
Let adults not have to think of kids costs on the day and just turn up.

It's not inconvenient is it? It takes hardly any time at all to sign them up and it encourages kids more than anything because of the interaction that comes with being a JSB. It's a selling point of getting the kids into the JSBs that they can go and watch all of the games for free.

You started off moaning that it had to be season ticket holders that went free and not single matches, now it is just people who want to go for a one-off match.

Christ, so many other clubs don't even let their kids club members in for free like us as it is. Same with having kids as mascots.

It's not an inconvenience for "most" fans, as "most" fans will have their kids in the JSBS to both save money and get their kids into CCFC a bit more.

Where's the equivalent till on match day?
Revise....
You are there and you want the free sandwich but you can't have it because you needed to have previously signed up to get the card to do it.
You will need to pay the full price.
Next time you might not bother.

They do go free.

Your Idea is to let them into the ground without signing up to any scheme or allocating a ticket to them. How do you know where they're sitting, what the attendance is etc.

if you think taking 5 minutes to sign a kid up to JSB is hard work then you must be one fat lazy git.

my son is now too old for all the stuff aimed at the younger kids but the vouchers alone are worth the membership fee.

Exactly, push them into the JSBS and they then have the kids details, date of birth, address etc for future marketing. Even if they don't have a season ticket they will be sent a sheet of vouchers in the post so a family of 4 can go for £22, so they can take a friend for a quid etc. Give them a CCFC branded free gift and get them down to the kids party, where I have seen with my own eyes little kids who don't start off that bothered about CCFC to running round with the other kids trying to get player autographs etc.

If for example it isn't a kid who's parent can take him every game for various reasons the vouchers are handy to get them to go to a couple of games when it's cheap and take a mate with them, they will get letters addressed to them (don't know about other people, but mine feels grown up when she gets a letter and loves it) about 3 times a year that will also remind them about CCFC / Sky Blue Sam.

That's as opposed to just waving kids in without knowing their actual age, who they are etc and just hoping they come back.
