Did they ring to ask why you filmed yourself on twitter blubbing at us winning a meaningless trophy?
Did they ring to ask why you filmed yourself on twitter blubbing at us winning a meaningless trophy?I know that's what they have stated and it's probably the one thing I believe them on. I just stated what I felt they should do, not what I thought would happen.
You're wrong btw. They seem to care about what I say and do on here and Twitter. Had plenty of calls from club employees questioning why I've said what I've said.
Surely at this point a £1m injection would be enough to get us out of the joke of a league we will find ourselves in? Would that not be worth it for the associated rise in attendances and goodwill? Staying a minute longer than necessary in L2 is unthinkable and with 3 automatic promotion slots available all at the club should be aiming at nothing else.
Legends day low prices a shot in the dark though. This season is over and you aren't going to attract people in for what is essentially a dead rubber, people only have so much good will to spread around. I live in Bristol. Would I buy a season ticket at a reasonable price, yes - even with SISU at the helm. Not now though. When you add fuel and parking to watch us play Morecombe it becomes a bit silly.You'd hope so but look at the prices for legends day and the meagre crowd it attracted, it's a tough nut to crack and really success on the pitch is the only thing that will bring people back.
What's the issue, are you serious?
There's 9 pages of it here to see, as well as every social media outlet going.
It's absolutely clear as day that this was a completely suicidal decision.
People would of still found reason if it was capped at £250.... while sisu are here people will find reason and the fact we will be in the 4th tier of the football leagues.
Personally looking at other clubs prices were the lowest of the sides going down and likely average in league two.
I don't personally think there would be any spike in sales if it was say £250.
Remember fans said they were not returning regardless

If you have a ST in block 18 you've had a 40% increase in two seasons!What's the issue?

Fixed
I don't think the pricing is an issue as such (or shouldn't be)
As one poster said they should have done associated benefits.
Also I would have had a flat £299 price round the ground which would represent a reduction.
The issue mostly spouted here is with the owners so I'm not sure a reduction in price with the same owners would make a difference.
If they really did lower prices to Bradford levels it would have to work or they'd be putting them up again next season. I'm not convinced it would.
It's a shame they can't isolate one corner block and sell tickets there at £200 but make the actual purchasers sit there and see if it sells out.
Also Bradford is a buy early offer. Would our fans accept this or complain they haven't seen the assembled squad yet?
Good points and well made OSB! My concern is that the clubs leadership have only one business model, which has failed to deliver the positive outcomes surely they would want & to blindly follow their current mantra will not change our fortunes. The saying goes about repeating the same thing and expecting a different result!so the current attendance is 9k average and we are going down ........ you want to base on a budget attendance of higher and spend money a self sufficient CCFC simply doesn't have or might never have............ and expect that to pass even the FL cursory scrutiny. The budget can be flexed but there are only two opportunities to spend it July to August and January. By time we get to July CCFC will be well aware of the uptake of ST's and therefore likely walk up sales too, to spend money they haven't got just risks total disaster. Now if SISU fund further that might be different..... they might fund a shortfall in an emergency requiring repayment on player sale but invest for the future? Sorry Italia the worst thing they can do is budget for 10000 knowing the likely figure is 5000
That's the only thing I do think is wrong, block 18 is not classed as a premium seating area to me.
The problem as I see it is NOT the cost of a Season Ticket but one of having no confidence in SISU. SISU are the problem, not the cost.SEASON TICKETS: Coventry City announce season tickets details ahead of 2017/18 campaign
Mine looks the same price, I'm afraid CCFC but I'm out!
We're in block 17 so ours count as being Standard, which saves a few quid.
I'm in 21 so it's up to me if I'm prepared to pay £15 for league two football. Or I pay £13 and move to somewhere vacant I like on each match day.
That's the only question for me. Am I prepared to pay x price for league two football? And I'm ok to pay it so I will renew and hope others do too and support Mark Robins.
I understand some won't renew for various reason personal to them but that's the consumers choice at the end of the day.
You were doing so well.The price comes second in my opinion. I paid it last year after all.
It's the principle as many on here have said. Ok have my £300, but where is it going to go? If last season is any judge it's going on court cases and managerial payoffs. No thank you!
I'm 24, had a season ticket for the last 2/3 seasons at Highfield Rd, Been at the Ricoh every year since (worked there for a few seasons so couldn't get one but went to all the matches regardless) Didn't go Northampton and not going next year. Seeing Jodi Jones dropping £600 in a roulette machine in a high street bookies a few months back didn't help either. :android:
We've only waited 10 years for SISU to do it, what's another summer?If they do invest , say just a million over an average league two budget and we are very competitive scoring goals for fun crowds will be 13-15000. Being top we could exceed that.
That extra million will obviously be repaid pretty quickly with increased crowds.
SISU really need to bite the bullet and build on this huge good will and feeling for the club we all got from the Wembley final, if they don't do it this next season the feeling will go. Be really competitive with Robins in charge and investment will get repaid
I agree. Next season really is the make or break. We "should" be grabbing at automatic and that will bring in the fans (even in L2) so it won't really be a gamble if SISU (sorry, CCFC) put their hand in their pocket. If they do that and f**k it up then we 're all doomed, I say we're all doomed.If they do invest , say just a million over an average league two budget and we are very competitive scoring goals for fun crowds will be 13-15000. Being top we could exceed that.

had they discounted the price 5% then if 3000 bought tickets at full standard adult early bird price it would cost the club £44,850 compared to what they are doing. If by doing that they then attracted 150 more season tickets they break even. I would guess a little gesture like that would have retained more than 150 renewing
You moving Steve?Just realised my block, 22, is one of the zones which have been made 'premium' :emoji_rage::emoji_rage:
Club should give you a seat in the press box!Just realised my block, 22, is one of the zones which have been made 'premium' :emoji_rage::emoji_rage:
Interest wasn't paid though was it? Interesting fact though.
No but it does show how bad the situation is. They should have framed this much better. For a start if they were dropping standard plus or whatever it was called then those blocks should drop to standard not increase to premium.Interest wasn't paid though was it? Interesting fact though.
Even a small reduction would have been enough to keep some they will now lose, as wellI don't really care about comparison to other clubs in a sport which is killing itself due to overpricing, player wages, and sky television. It's a fucking farce.
The club have alienated half their fan base and they wish to charge £345 standard pricing for football in the fourth division.
There is literally no argument that can justify this. The club know the people renewing will be the real hardcore only, so they've bled them dry. I find that quite sickening.
Any slim chance of me getting a season ticket next season has now gone.
