PSV UPDATE

[Vestan Pance]

I'm not surprised by this after getting away with not returning or crediting the 20-21 membership fees.

I know lots of people who want season tickets and can't get one.

 

Will not have a issue with PL games in my view.

We all “want” season tickets but what do those people do about it? Are they members? Do they go to as many home games as possible currently to get their points up to be eligible when the time comes?

 

I know loads who “want”’a season ticket but it’s just something they say as a pipe dream when one’s on offer. Didn’t want one in 2008 did they

I agree with this. Hear loads of people like this. Similar to those who every few months are ‘never going to the football again as the games gone’ but will never stop going. Every club has scores of people in both camps

A mixture of both. 

 

My point is they will not have trouble selling an extra 3k or 4k of season tickets.

What your point? 

 

Unless you wanted a season ticket in 2008 you can't have one now? 

 

What are people born in 2009 suppose to do?

 

Should we ban them from having one?

Yes, definitely. 

 

Unless you've lived through Pleat, Taylor, Levein and Ian bloody Holloway then frankly you've not done your penance to qualify!

This is a difficult one tho. You can't really help when you are born or when you get into or taken to the football. I was 9 when I was 1st taken and was absolutely hooked.

 

I was in a position to pay for my kids season tickets when they were young. My daughter has zero interest in it despite me trying to take her when she turned 5 she's owned a season ticket since she was 2 in 2011 like you say plenty of empty seats then.

 

My lad loves it now,  but in a twist of fare I managed to get him his own season ticket in the summer of 14, he attended no games that season and attended his 1st game in 15 he still wasn't ready so missed the greatest season ever. But if it wasn't for me being pro active and trying to plan ahead hoping my kids would 1 day enjoy it my boy would be sat at home most weeks unable to attend. Instead he's at least had the chance to see regular PL football, European competition. 

 

Let's just hope he now bleeds blue if it all goes wrong.

I did Pleat and Taylor, but then had kids and missed Levein and Holloway 

 

Started going back down with the son in the L1 season.

 

He has had it so good, lucky bugger

...I am assuming that when the season ticket was purchased it had a seat number on it!!!

  As a contract with the club you are entitled to have that seat available to you on every home matchday for the league program.

 The club has no right to break that contract unless the owner of the seat has committed an act, which has warranted his expulsion from the ground and in turn has led to the revocation of his contract.

  You cannot on a whim break a contract. If people do not want to move, they shouldn't have to, and they should not be subjected to an environment that forces them to attempt to relocate, as it would be tantamount to constructive dismissal.

It's a season ticket mate, not the European Convention on Human Rights! 

Terms and conditions, mate!

 

The club would be well within its rights to kick any season ticket-holding bums out of seats for any occasion outside of a Premier League game, if the club were so inclined...

Guys I just picked 2008 at random. Take age away from it it’s the point that people say they want one but don’t do owt.

 

I’m a member currently. Hoping to get a ST next season with my 7 year old boy. 
 

demand : that’s a funny thing. Sat in p3 against Brentford and on my row there were 3 empty to my right, two fans next to my boy then 3 empty next to them the other side. I know covid and isolating has an impact currently but you often see a fair few empties. However the games are classed as sold out so I guess they’re sold tickets and they count them in the attendance?

Exactly. My son was born in 2015. Is he not allowed a season ticket now? He’s gained 20+ priority points in one season, was that for nothing? 😂😂😂

Fair enough we differ on what we think Leicester folk can afford.

Do you really believe every match day going fan is someone that struggles to rub two coins together?

Brentford was the most under attended PL game I can recall ……..

No I obviously do not believe every match day going fan is in that situation Bert. But I certainly believe that some are and sadly more will over the coming months and years. Not really ground breaking thinking is it.

31,830 was the attendance for Brentford supposedly

 

I imagine a fair few no shows in that, the 2 STH’s next to me weren’t at the game

Yes, I was referring to the empty seats which were obvious around the stadium. I’d estimate that there were less than 30k there.

This needs some clarification from the club.

 

For those who don’t know, Cool As Leicester is like an Instagram page promoting local events and businesses and they offer a black card (paid for and limited in number) where they have agreements with some of those businesses for discounts etc.

 

It’s not immediately clear why the football club would be engaging with them on any charitable type of basis (unless they also do some kind of work for underprivileged groups etc on the side). But the club already have football in the community departments and I’m sure links with every local school etc so I can’t figure out why any initiative along those lines would not just be handled through that. Those initiatives are, and I believe would be even in this instance, supported by pretty much every fan who will appreciate that giving back or getting school kids in for cheap is important for the club’s role in the community.

 

But a discount code for an exclusive group of paid-for card holders with a small-scale Instagram page? That would make less sense…

 

I’ve seen on their socials that the girl who founded it has put up photos of her in hospitality down the KP so there’s obviously some kind of business arrangement on the go. But if that extends to LCFC offering 50% discounts to people who aren’t regulars rather than sensible pricing all round to just pack the ground out that way then that stinks.

 

 

Do we actually even know if it has anything to do with Cool As Leicester or have people just saw the word 'Cool' in the discount code and made an assumption?

 

On the screenshots of people that used it it said something about an Outreach program which essentially is a scheme that helps those who are underprivileged, no? Surely not some members of a paid discount scheme?

Yikes. Was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if it was a community outreach program but that's an absolute slap in the face to the fans yet again. 

 

And as always people are falling over each other to defend the club for a few rep points on Foxestalk.

Yeah but Sol, have you not considered the savings on that free beer and doughnut?

Is it a pure coincidence or are these faux pass happening more frequently the less present our owners are around the club? Just cannot imagine these clangers happening as often under Vichai's watchful eye or when Top was around more regularly.

Not the first time in a organisation a operational management decision is made that isn't inline with strategic thinking.

 

I imagine Top has a lot on his plate with dealing with the fallout of the pandemic across KP portfolio.

The club employed a number of people at the start of the season I believe at middle management level.
 

Understandably the owners are taking a back seat. 
 

For me they appear poor appointments but I ain’t gonna bore anyone for the umpteenth time on it
