AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 No one has to, do they? If people are hesitant they can wait until April/May when they normally renew them and simply take up the 10 month D/D option. If people do want to renew early then they can get the 12 months. Don't see much of an issue here tbh. Why bother with it then, if it makes so little difference? There must be some reason behind it. Obviously the reason is that the club want to lock people in and guarantee income. That's just good business for any company with an uncertain future. The fact is pisses off some fans is obviously a shame, but the club's not a charity, it has to look after its income streams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The early renewals might well work in my favour. This is my final year as a student and i think my NUS card expires in July at some point. This means that for the first 5 direct debit payments I will still be a student, whereas if I waited until August like this season I would no longer qualify as a student. Not sure if it will work but given that this year they asked me to e-mail them a copy of my student ID which I forgot to do yet they still sent me my ST it is definetly worth a go. If they are asking me to commit to a contract as early as February then I will argue that I should pay according to my status at the time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my final year as a student and i think my NUS card expires in July at some point. This means that for 6 months of the direct debit scheme I will still be a student so will be able to provide ID if I sign up in February whereas if I waited until August like this season I would no longer qualify as a student.

Sounds like you should get it... from what I've heard the checking of who is a student/child/OAP is almost non-existent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 For the record, I think TF are bang on the money - appreciate I'm probably in the minority though. Some of us 'oldies' have seen this before during the 70's and 80's and remember all too well how bad things were then at times. If it makes us cynical, then so be it. Then again if some of you's are still content to bend over for Ashley whilst 'Rome burns' then what else is there to say. I'm 21 and can see what is happening to our club. Never ceases to amaze me how others don't (or are happy living in apathy/denial). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, I know I sound like a tax dodging student but to be fair if anyone could find a technicality that saved them £100 on their ST they would use it. I was prepared for my ticket to go up to £400 next year anyway and now I should be able to pay that, get a much better seat and pay by direct debit!

It's a non-issue, I'm not aware of anyone who doesn't think we've been through the shit recently - but any attempts to discuss it rationally seem to be viewed as being in denial.

ujpest doza Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Mines come out showing the wrong price and is also wrong on the online renewal as well. I've got a family enclosure seat with the bairn yet it's showing the full price for a categpry 2 seat of £558 instead of £345 less 10% loyalty discount. An e-mail to the box office has got no response yet so i'm gonna call in at dinnertime and thrash it out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Fact is we are in the premiership, mid-table and look like to safely stay-up. Have a very good core group of players which need adding to. This club has been in far worst positions and there are many other 'big clubs' in far worse positions than us. I've made a decision of that I won't ever buy a ST again, but that is mainly due to the awful nature of greed in the game and obscene amount players are paid nowadays, not just to do with the regime at SJP.

St James' just doesn't have the draw that it used to have for me - whereas our support at away games is the best in the country, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a protest against the game, I just can't justify spending that much on watching 19 football games a season. The game for me in general is sick at the moment and nothing like it was at the start of the premiership era when it the football was just as good imo without all of the greed which has spread into the game.

My view is that I don't blame people for protesting by not going, I gave up my ST under the souness regime as I couldn't stand him being NUFC manager. If people still want to go, then fair play to them but if you go then bloody get behind the lads for the 90 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
