Spoke in length with a players dad on Saturday...

[ScottJones]

Thats ridiculous.....

You sound as if you're surprised :bad_smile:

You sound as if you're surprised :bad_smile:

hahaha, i must admit, its the mental health comment that got me......

Although theres all the perlarver with the manager at the moment, im actually fairly upbeat about next season.....

[3London]

Crudely done...

Average Season ticket is about £600 - £26 a game
Average Seat is about £30

5,000 Season Tickets = £130K
6,000 Paying on the day = £180K
Matchday ticket Revenue = £310K

Make Season Tickets £500 - £22 a game
Seat Price £25

Sell 10,000 STs - £220K
4,000 Paying on the day - £100K

Matchday ticket revenue - £320K

Add in 3000 more fans buying food, drink, merchandise..and they're HAPPY.

Easy to make the same revenue by more affordable pricing

True, But (also crudely) if 10,000 people pay £1 you get 10000.
but if 5000 pay £2 you also get £10000 and also have 5000 spares to sell on match day at £1.25 giving you an extra 6250.

Oh there was a bit more regarding GP. I mentioned about how a lot of people moan about him blah blah blah. AND I WAS SURPRISED when he mentioned he doesn't get any credit for the tiresome work he puts in. I said something along the lines of him being Flavio's puppet and he stop me dead and said NO WAY. He has a lot of clout within the club. Flavio pays him as a Chief Exec and he went on to say he is a very, very good one,

well thats a massive change from before the takeover when some membrs of staff said he run the club "like a corner shop"

he must have been taking lessons from flavio

dazzer, this guy is pulling your leg obviously. How would any 'players' dad know who is spending money and picking managers etc?

Agree with this and Rieger. Find it hard to believe that a players father knows so much. Doesn't make sense.

[crowlehoops]

thanks dazzer, appreciated

[writtler]

Was it JJ's dad?

[qblockpete]

Is it fair to say its not what you wanted to read or hear?

If he returns saying what a bad job GP does you would be agreeing?

if he reports back and says players are not happy with the board, we would get the same response.

as for prices they are too high, based on where we are. You don't mind paying premiership prices if you are in the premiership. Of course we are in a comletely different place to when we had Stefan Moore and Nick Ward, but we've hardly taken the league by storm. For that reason, you can understand fans frustrations, £200 more in many cases and hardly better finishing position in the league.

[Dazzer1977]

Choose what you want to believe... and no it's wasn't JJ's dad.

[Olly]

People keep banging on about reducing prices. What should they be ?

a lot less than what they are now

[crossborderexile]

Dazzer my old mucker - for DFE to state on here you have mental issues is a disgrace - people like Ian Huntley, Peter Sutcliffe, Myra Hindley etc had mental issues - all you've done is to stir things up a bit - is that not the point of rumours etc - DFE when you have this read to you by your state provided carer (which incidently Dazzer contributes towards with his taxes etc) - please be man enough to retract the slur - i'm sure it can be done between nappy changes or bottle feeds - DFE you're such a pr@ck at times !
