An increase by £100 on 9,000 adult season tickets would raise less than 1 million pounds. What kind of talent + wages can we buy for that? Real money comes from astute player trading, F and B and club shop sales. Reduce the numbers through the door and those less visible revenues drop. If as Kimg says the new deal will include us able to tap into F and B money the more people we have in the ground the better.Whilst I appreciate your frustration how do you think investment in the playing squad will be funded.
Assume you would like us to have a competitive team.
I haven’t said anything about that at all fella.Interestingly they said that safe standing wouldn't contribute to any loss in capacity due to the steepness of the stands. Considering the hill you were dying in in the 'South Stand' thread, do you have any comments for Doug?
People will look at the price per game based in those they can attend if that is within a pound or two of the pay as you go prices. Illegal streams are the winner.What’s the thinking behind that, comrade?

I don’t and he was talking about an extra £1-3m from ticketing revenueDo we have idea how much money Doug is investing in ‘infrastructure’ this year?
This is true but that was the same owners who persisted in telling us we were building a new stadium. Just utter fabrication.I appreciate that was under SISU but we were sold that before
'Back us and we can invest and back Mark Robins'
We did. 13.5k of us in record numbers. And also with merchandise
The backing we recieved in return was selling Hyam to pay for some grass and couldnt afford our tax bill
It’s not the fans’ fault that running a Championship football club doesn’t make financial sense.Whilst I appreciate your frustration how do you think investment in the playing squad will be funded.

I don’t and he was talking about an extra £1-3m from ticketing revenue
The main loss is empty seats - we need a full ground of supporters so the balance has to be spot on to improve everything
Talks about the revenue from fans going to the game too. Need to make it more attractive to get into the ground earlier. He said they are sorting the SKY but get projectors set up in there. Make it more of a destination like plenty of clubs are going for currently.
Let’s see heyIts a bit of an odd thing to say
The club lost £6m in its first season back with revenues of £18m.
Match revenue itself was around £5m. Even a £3m increase (no chance in my view) is a £3m loss but that is on a cheap rental arrangement
It seems if we had not got Gyokeres to sell we would be having to slash the wage bill to survive
He says the spend from home fans is about £3 a person and yes he did say currently the club doesn’t get any of the revenue from the arena. He also said we did under the previous stadium owners but they went bankruptWe do not get any money from F and B it seems at present

I'm not sure what's worse, him dry shaving or his lack of t shirt.Inevitable

Its frightening
He is banging in about whose going to be the shirt sponsor with the usualstuff as well so must be probable
And that figure only materialises if all of those 9k renew at that price increase....An increase by £100 on 9,000 adult season tickets would raise less than 1 million pounds.

What a strange man the brother is. That said, if he pays a commercial rate to sponsor that's fine by me.
School boy error
Can’t wait for us to raise season ticket prices myself - loads of other clubs in the Championship are either freezing or cutting prices instead, we’re going to absolutely batter them with all that extra revenue
Well I think to some extent they’re reading the room. For some reason there are a good number of City fans who have been openly asking for a price hike - you yourself have said our current prices are ridiculous and that you would be fine with a 100% increase.Will king a while ago on twitter was asking about prices with supporters. I think they just can’t get there hears round the ST price divided by 23 and think it’s cheap

£800 a season? When did I say that.
Know what? We must be the only club other than Bradford that in real terms have reduced prices by 40% in the last 15 years despite being in the same league with arguably a better product
Its an utterly absurd mindset and needs to stop
I couldn’t care less myself about the parking as it’s just an irritant. Frankly if the season ticket doubled I wouldn’t blink
Whatever kings limitations or not he will look at this as a business I’m pretty sure. So season tickets will not be cheap compared to competitors - competitive but not cheap and I personally think it’s fair.
If he could work with the FG it’s pretty obvious that he could create a package so people could travel to matches together in a vehicle and eliminate the negative reviews the stadium gets regarding travel and location.
You may have been referring to your car parking pass but I think your general point about ST pricing is clear:
Unless you’re talking about something else, here:Where have I said 100% increase?
Frankly if the season ticket doubled I wouldn’t blink
Unless you’re talking about something else, here:
I don’t - I want our season tickets to be as cheap/affordable as possible. Many clearly disagree, including yourself, so I don’t see why you should be surprised if and when they do eventually hike prices when many of our peers are doing the opposite. We get the club we deserve.But that’s not recommending it to happen is it. It’s just my own circumstances- my seat is absurdly cheap - I said it should be competitive
Why do you want our brand to be cheap?
