Seems outside of the box and quite a decent idea. Will be interesting to see how much difference it makes.

Wasted on me, I don't have 5 mates for the £15 discount let alone another 9 for £10!

On a genuine note fair play to the club, but I think most will be finishing work that day, down the pub and watching Arsenal v Liverpool on the box.

Get 10 posters from here to join together for the discount. Come on Nick - give them a Christmas present to remember!

Club is in desperate need of funds so are trying whatever to achieve that. I believe the brown stuff will very soon be hitting the fan and I am very concerned what might be ahead.

It's almost as if you are trying to push something in every post today? Of course the club is in need of funds, we are in League 2 where every club pretty much is battling for scraps.

Interesting reaction so far to the offer, seems like people won't be flocking to it for a potential £10 per ticket.

if there is 7 of you, just get 10 tickets, works out cheaper.

Then give the other 3 to someone you don't like.

I guess it's trying to arrange people together. People may drop out etc and it'll be a £11 with the extra £1 on top.

Not sure, it says booking fee not applicable to that offer so probably trying to keep it to a simple £100.

Many fans complain that club needs to put an offer on to get people in.

Club puts offer on....there's always one....

Go on then. All you moaning gits can now pay £10 to see us play. You said price was the issue and if it was cheap there would be loads more there. Prove it.

Any idea of offers is a good move but who honestly could drag that many up to the Ricoh on one of the biggest party evenings of the year ! They would be better off trying something like a match ticket/pie and a pint for £20

In reality though who is going to get ten mates to attend? It's a gesture I guess but they may aswell just say £10 and the take up may be higher?

I used to be one of 8 season ticket holders that went to games together. There is 3 of us that go to some games now, and even if I offered the other 5 a free ticket they wouldn't go.

price maybe a factor for hundreds, but it isn't for the lost thousands.

If they were that desperate they'd just sell individual tickets for £1 each. Even so, it'd make a maximum of £26k or so.

I'm obliged to attend a family Xmas party that evening anyway and then we are off to Moseley away the following day to watch Cov ! I hope some take up the offer but I doubt it will be many.

Either give them away to people in the queue or just say buy me a beer inside. Win/win.

So far we have

- Not enough friends
- Got better things to do
- Ticket prices aren't the problem anyway

Keep em coming.

And a "Nah" don't forget that.

But all joking aside, I genuinely wouldn't be able to find 9 other people as others have said. And I'm not teaming up with anyone on here as you can't post gifs in person.

Decent idea by the club though.

Good idea, nice to see them trying something different.

Shame we don't have more manpower at the club. If we did would be a good idea to get them going round the pubs on Friday afternoon selling tickets.

I have been told that financially we are desperate for income and a lot of it and a recent event has put a cat right amongst the pigeons. As for £10 for ten tickets not against anything that helps the club especially financially, not sure of league rules and considering our ST holders but I would think a £5 per head on the day walk up price would be better or get a season ticket holder to bring a friend for a fiver for instance.

You are even replying to the same quote twice as well as cramming certain buzzwords into every post you have made today regardless how relevant.

Yep, desperate for income so just whack it down to a fiver for all when it's becoming clearer price isn't going to make much difference. That makes sense.

Great idea, I originally had plans on the Friday but now I've changed them. 100% will be there!

Although might have to settle for the £15, not sure I'll pull a team of 10 interested to this due to it being national pub day pretty much.

I will be baffled if more than 5 of these packages are sold.

As someone said earlier, I couldn't give tickets away if they were free.

I thought cheap tickets would get thousands more up there?

That's poor from the club and a decision they will regret. That will take about 3000 home fans off the gate and possible a couple thousand from Stoke.

Any chance of 20k+ is gone.

In the same way that you can't polish a turd you're not going to persuade folk to watch utter tosh even for free.
