If true - we’re looking at actually being worse off than we were with SISU. At least with them there was a 10 year licence with allegedly “the best f&b deal the club has ever had”
If true - we’re looking at actually being worse off than we were with SISU. At least with them there was a 10 year licence with allegedly “the best f&b deal the club has ever had”A little before the license was agreed, I was speaking to a member of the club's commercial department who relayed to me that FG's demands were 'completely unsustainable' for the club moving forward.

I think I made it clear that we need to get revenues up. That's going to help us invest in the squad, pay for the players we want to retain and get us to where we want to go.I doubt he wants to be shouldering millions worth of losses per season either. Fundamentally his initial priority will be ensuring that the club can more or less operate self-sufficiently through maximising commercial, sponsorship and ticketing revenue as well as by facilitating player sales.
He's even alluded to this in a previous comment.
"All I’m asking for everyone, season ticket holders, Premier package, our corporate partners and sponsors is a little bit extra into our club to allow our revenues to move in line with some of our competitors, which will make a huge difference because it makes our operating losses not keep me up at night."

But in fairness, King had no other option but to agree with whatever they demanded. Frasers held all the cards in those discussions. I assume he is trying to cover this increase by the more expensive season tickets and corporateIndeed. In all fairness I know zero details other than that the proposed deal was significantly worse than the one in place with Wasps as well as the ominous phrase which was relayed to me. Hardly instilled confidence nonetheless.
Realistically though, given the hardball approach they took when they took over the stadium it can't really come to much surprise that the deal currently in place heavily favours FG.
We will be at OUR ground for ever now.Indeed. In all fairness I know zero details other than that the proposed deal was significantly worse than the one in place with Wasps as well as the ominous phrase which was relayed to me. Hardly instilled confidence nonetheless.

Unlikely as those increases have in part been put in place to mitigate the likely horrendous commercial agreement that is in place with FG as well as to ensure operating costs are covered as much as possible.
The budget is likely to increase but not by much.

Take inspiration from the had matters and camp overnight - i’m sure tesco will have plenty of food options to keep you going through the nightWhat time would I have to be at the ticket office on the 3rd of July to get first choice on where to move my season ticket ?
Good ideaTake inspiration from the had matters and camp overnight - i’m sure tesco will have plenty of food options to keep you going through the night
Reading these pages there are no seats to move to in the FZ so no refund sorry.If you renew at standard price (£400), do you get a refund if you move to the FZ (£250)
There will be. My seat, for one.Reading these pages there are no seats to move to in the FZ so no refund sorry.
Just wondering if there’s anyone whose in singers corner and not renewing?
Yes they did well, the pitch we had to kick-off on was excellent and I liked their piesIf true - we’re looking at actually being worse off than we were with SISU. At least with them there was a 10 year licence with allegedly “the best f&b deal the club has ever had”
Colchester is close but the biggest loss of support will be to West Ham.Ipswich have no one near them, even the big rivals Norwich are over 40 miles away.

We are 64 miles from Luton so that is the comparative67 miles away. Surprised it was that close tbh.
Were you sitting there then and can't stand the noise of kids or were you told to find somewhere else to sit.I wanted to move there but got told I didn't qualify kid was too old at 55 wouldn't even let him sit there with his son just because he's 22.Family Zone?There will be. My seat, for one.
Just over 14,000 at the last countSo what are our total ST sales now. The club was talking about 18000 a few weeks back ?
It was the 'isolating' block, and I went there as I was trying to protect an elderly relative (since passed). I now intend to move to sit with a mate in Singers corner. Far too old to, but love to have a sing song during the game!!Were you sitting there then and can't stand the noise of kids or were you told to find somewhere else to sit.I wanted to move there but got told I didn't qualify kid was too old at 55 wouldn't even let him sit there with his son just because he's 22.Family Zone?
We dont play at home until 12th August so plenty of time , just like the signings they will both be here by the start of the seasonI’ve tried finding the answer, but can’t. Anyone know when they’ll send out the season tickets?
Bought it for my dad as a surprise and live 6000 miles away, so I’d just like to have an idea.We dont play at home until 12th August so plenty of time , just like the signings they will both be here by the start of the season
Get on with it then!
We're only signing two playersWe dont play at home until 12th August so plenty of time , just like the signings they will both be here by the start of the season
I think we'll end up with around 15k-16k season tickets. With the extra couple of thousand seats sold, should make up for those that are moving over to the family area.
19, 20, 21 will be sold out and most of those will be the PL tickets but I wonder if there will be any obvious gaps as you move towards block 14.
I think a fair few from 23-25 would move over given the chance. It will be interesting to see if the idea of two blocks in opposite corners works for atmosphere. Or if one does most of the work and attracts those who want it.
Apparently we have sold over 14000 now, I think we will sell more than another 1500I think we'll end up with around 15k-16k season tickets. With the extra couple of thousand seats sold, should make up for those that are moving over to the family area.
