It could be argued that the regular and repeated protests have diverted police from the real crimes you mentioned. 

So you don't believe in the right to protest??

I agree with this.

 

On the flip side - how many people would happily house an illegal immigrant in their family home, I'm talking straight off a boat into their family home. Its a difficult conversation, I wouldn't do that - I'm sure 95% of people wouldn't either if they were honest.

I am sure you are right,  and I wouldn't take one off straight off a boat either,  though I did volunteer for the Ukgraine scheme.  Isn't that though why we elect governments and pay for  public services. 

 I would also not  carry out an operation (I hate the sight of blood) but does that mean we should not expect the state to find someone to do it our behalf.

The obviously economic migrants who come here illegally, are not allowed to work (legally) for years while we process their applications, who are provided with accommodation and benefits (often despite working illegally) and then end up in legal appeals which cost a fortune before eventually either being kicked out or staying - by this point they would need to reach CEO level to make a positive contribution so it doesn't really matter. 

 

Nothing wrong with trying to stop that sort of migration while ensuring fast and affordable visa routes for those with the skills our economy needs, or fast (offshore) processing for those who have a genuine need for asylum.  

Well of course there's are some individual migrants that will cost the country  money and I agree we need to improve the processes for getting them removed. Last year they mad up around 2% of all migrants , 96% were contributing and around 2% will contribute once they have their asylum applications approved.  

Incidently removals have increased  in the first twelv months of this supposed left wing government.

To be fair that figure was inflated by Ukrainians and those from Hong Kong who we rightfully helped.
 

Whilst I agree that there is a need for a reasonable level of migration, it’s unsustainable to take in many who will never contribute, especially if the economy continues to flat line as looks the case. The wrong sort of migration has the potential to exacerbate the growing crisis we have with people being unable or unwilling to work which this government seem unable to address. Perceived injustices such as housing allocations, especially in the rental market as they move asylum seekers out of hotels, is likely to continue to see social unrest build.

Who are these mistical migrants who will never contribute. The economically inactive migrant figure is dwarfed by those of us who were born here. Immigrants have always been and will continue to be for some time a  net contributer to our economy.

Obviously his popularity comes from his stance on immigration. Which believe it or not is a popular opinion out in the real world. This left wing echo chamber of 9 or 10 regular posters in General Chat is not how the rest of the country feel. 
 

I don't think anyone thinks its not a popular opinion, however those of you who believe that net zero is a realistic prospect in this countey need to explain to those near or already retired how are the limited workforce are going to pay for their pensions. It was no accident that following Brexit Johnson enacted a policy that increased net migration to nearly 1 million. He knew very well that without such numbers are economy would be even more up the swanny than it is.

QQ from me. My son is 13 and doesnt have a phone. I cant find anywhere on the site to request him a physical card (this is not going to be the excuse to get him a phone!). Am i missing something, or is it just going to have to be a call to the ticket office?

As I understand there was a closing date to request a physical card. I believe you can download your lads ticket to your phone.

May be a stupid question I know, but my season ticket in my phone wallet has automatically updated and is showing the next game to be Sheff Wed, I presume I don’t have to do anything else for it to work on matchday?

That's right

The LCFC club app where you can go in and download your season ticket to your phone etc.

If the season ticket was purchased from your account with your email address, then I would think you will need to change the email address attached to that ST.

I’ve done that too! No luck 

Are you assigning each ticket individually to a friend, if you are and you can't complete the purchase then you need to speak to the ticket office. Has always worked ok for me.

For sure. But it’s also a pre-paid loyalty scheme, clubs often need that money upfront to pay for X,Y,Z.

 

I don’t go that often as I’m up in Glasgow but I don’t think as a club we are at the stage where we have such a significant waiting list for tickets (there won’t be one) that the “match day revenue ceiling” is maxed out enough to change anything like that. 

It is not pre paid, we season ticket holders have the option of paying monthly at no additional cost.  Season tickets sell out every year, including this one!, with a significant number of applications being unsuccesful. However match day tickets are not regularly selling out.  This would lead the economist in me (I am no expert) to believe that ST prices are lower than the market can take and match tickets  higher.

Gen Sale but one ticket per sale 🙈🙈🙈 I mean given it’s not very busy it’s easy enough to coordinate seat purchase but still a pain in the arse! 

It is not one ticket per sale, but one ticket per supporter number. So all you need to do is add your mates to your family/friends, then you can get tickets for them in the one sale.

No need to turn of NFC.

Open your season ticket in your wallet, little circle with dots inside, top right of your screen, press that, then press ‘pass details’,

 

QR code is then on your screen, it’s a back up if the NFC in the top of your phone doesn’t work.

 

No idea if it’s live QR though.

 

In my phone (android)  I get a message saying that screenshot is disabled for security reasons when NFC is turned on.

This must be a wind up. But if not, a 10% increase in all ticket revenue would pay our wage bill (not even any transfer fees) for approximately 6 days. 

 

KPFC will continue to think they must do their bit though. Why don't we increase the price of shirts etc. too, that'll help increase our chances of promotion surely?! 

This is not the place for a debate on the clubs accounts,  though if matchday revenue was no concern then why not let everyone in for nothing.   I was simply advocating for a cost neutral way of being fairer to all fans.  A  20% decrease in matchday ticket prices would only require around a 3% increase in ST prices.  The knock on effect would be to increase turn over of ST holders which is required in my view to ensure we have a fan base going forward.

Hmm, I’m in the same boat and have downloaded mine but my direct debit pays for my sons too. My son could register in his own right to the App but how does he then navigate to his ticket to download it?

Which App are you talking about here.

How about they reduce the price of the individual tickets instead of increase ST prices you absolute melt!?

The playing squad has to be funded in some way,  so that would reduce the clubs prospects of footballing success.

PS Not need for the personal insults we are entitled to an opinion,  if that makes be a melt then so be it.

I really do not get that argument you want people who go 90% or more to pay more to subsidise those who go once or twice a season? You reward loyalty not pander to casuals.

I agree that loyalty should be rewarded but their has to be a balance.  This season I could barely get 8/9 matchday tickets for the prices of my ST,  that is over rewarding ST holders to the cost of those that cannot get a ST.

Based on what out of interest?

What would the increase be for / what would the reduction be for? That’s an impossible formula isn’t it?

When I first had my season ticket,  it was the cost of around 14/15 Premier League matchday tickets.  This season I'd be doing well to attend more than 8/9 Champioship games for the price of my season ticket.  So you see ST have see very little increae in that time(15 years),  that is not the same for matchday prices.  The efect of this is that many season tickets go unused for for a number of games as  ST holders don't feel they need to attend all the games to get their monies worth.

I think its a fair point in truth.  As a member who previously couldnt get a season ticket (i now have one) ive had this argument before.   If you are a season ticket holder that's going to miss 10 games a season, do you really need that season ticket? Is it fair? It p1ssed me off as a member that i was shelling out 40-50 quid a game when there were sesson ticket holders missing approx half a season of home games. That season ticket would have been better with someone who would attend most,  if not all of the games.  Fairer too.  

 

Not everyone will agree but i bet most members would.  I get the argument about kick off times being moved but these days we know what we are signing up for. 

I completely agree, I'd add that Season Tickets are too cheap in comparison to match day tickets, resulting in there being little incentive to give a ST up unless you intend to give up attending altogether.  So I say this as a season ticket holder, the price needs to be increased along with a reduction in match day prices.

I might be wrong, but I don't think a ticket canbe held on two different phones even if using ine Wallet Account

As far as I understand it you can either sell on or pass on a ticket a total of 10 times, in any combination.

I would expect that it is the home club that determines the orer in which blocks are sold,  as that helps with their potential costs. We might not be the best run club in the world but I am pretty certain we ask clubs to sell in the order M1 to M4.  Otherwise we would never have clubs returning tickets.

Surely the CEO gets a final look at anything major that the board proposes?

 

 

Not sure that's the case,  the CEO is employed to carry out the wishes of the board (as are all employess) not the other way round.  Of course any CEO worth their salt would express any doubts to the board,  but the untimate decision lies with the board.

Under a FPTP system it's unlikely the Nazi party would have risen to power.

How do you draw that conclusion given they received the largest share of the vote in the 1933 election and so under FPTP would likely have had a majority in their parliament,  thus increasing their power ast that time rather than deminishing it.
