No, unfortunately not. Of course, ref those that live a long way away simply can’t make it to the games during the week. They will follow City anywhere.

Just a couple of thoughts, where the hell do these people get their money from and how shit is the atmosphere at their grounds?

That’s true. I was shocked when I found out that Liverpool have only 3k more season ticket holders than us
The likes of Liverpool and United would do
Away with season ticket holders if they could get away with it. They’d rather fill the ground with day trippers who would pay more for tickets and would be likely to spend more in the club shop while there. season ticket holders aren’t good for business when they get in at a reduced rate and spend next to
Nothing on club related products.
Going back to Cov, it will be interesting to see if any sort of membership scheme is brought out - it’s very popular with other clubs, and a good money spinner as fans buy an annual membership in return for first chance of buying tickets, before they get to general sale.

When reading this, I was expecting...
And it gets worse from there. They have to watch the Villa.

I remember one of the podcasts on about this last year. I think they said when they sell the tickets to tourists they sell them as a package and include a meal, stadium tour and stuff like that and it costs a fortune. So they make a significant amount more money from it.

FFP ruins that though because what you can spend is based on revenue. It’s why no mark academy players go for £20m and fans get ever-squeezed for ticket money.
A problem we’d have over the next 3-5 seasons if we’re to stay up is that every game will be a sell out without a means of expanding that revenue stream without an extension to the ground. Which is way too big a project to take on after only a few seasons of being back up.

Spot on. I’ve been told DK is currently debating £750-£780.
no surprise there, we know he likes to squeeze every penny. Doesn’t give a shit about the fans, it’s just a cash cow

Don’t even get me started on boxes, he’s swinging a £50k price tag around on those at the minute. Hopefully box holders will tell him to stick it like last year when he upped it

We aren't going to be charging £700 for a season ticket.

Yeah lets hope all those big businesses don't invest in us
Cash cow?
Have you seen last year's accounts?
If a farmer had a cow costing that much money they'd have called the vet years ago.

Where do you suggest we make money to compete then?

So an extra £200 on season tickets for those without the Prem deal means we could sell 18/19000 tickets at this price- an extra £3-4 million which is big money in the championship but doesn’t feel will make a substantial difference in the Prem.
Likely be will do it though as this seems to be Doug’s style and gives him headroom to reduce again (but not by £200) if we drop down again.
He can point to the “free” ticket deal as us all having a chance to purchase in the last 2 years but would feel like he is just trying to claw this back which isn’t really in the spirit of it.
