Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So one former player who was absolute s**** says it meaning they all think the same? I’m not defending them, but we get enough s**** for numpties posting s**** as individuals about us as the best fans, big club etc. RTG is full of similar back patting threads about them being the best fans in the country etc. Fair enough, I tend not to go on there as it makes my eyes bleed. In fact I’m sure I got conjunctivitis from reading a few threads over there the other day,. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If I made a deal with the devil there'd be a lot, lot more requests higher on my list than beating Sunderland six times in a row like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I would rather they were just worse than us but in the same division TBH, gives you another couple of interesting games every season. That said, I can grow to accept them being completely shite for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Making football affordable is indeed a good thing if done for the right reasons. Make no mistake there is nothing noble about these price reductions it's simply desperation from a club who's fans have deserted them big time and they know a whole lot more will be jumping ship soon. In fact is it even morally questionable to be pricing entry at a level which competes with struggling local non league clubs ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 ?Aye. Seems that the magnificent "our fans" are justified in deserting their club because they've had it so bad for so long. But wasn't it just about a year and a half ago they were walking in a Fat Sam wonderland and looking forward to dominating north east football for the rest of time? They're a fickle bunch. Always have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact is it even morally questionable to be pricing entry at a level which competes with struggling local non league clubs ? Quite correct It's a move motivated by desperation. If they could get away with charging £500+ for a season ticket then that is what they would do. They proved with the Johnson saga that this image they paint of being a family, community minded club is pretty questionable when they kept quiet and allowed a nonce to continue to ply his trade in front of 1000s of kids. The reality is that the fanbase has desterted them, crowds have halved in less than 12 months, and despite them staring administration in the face they've been reduced to slashing season ticket prices and are even prepared to give huge a number away for free. Seems a strange strategy when gate receipts become ever more important as the TV money starts to disappear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, if they can get more people through the doors they can offset the ticket price reduction through sales of food, drink and other merchandise. Assuming they haven't outsourced all of it already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 An U8 needs to be accompanied by an adult - giving away an U8 ticket also sells at least one adult ticket too. Otherwise the likeliness is that neither the U8 or adult would buy one. Childrens tickets in L1 are relatively cheap anyway, by offering this grand gesture they’ll actually make more money by selling more adult tickets. Plus the enhanced food and drink sales across the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
