davieG Posted 3 April 2007 Posted 3 April 2007 Prices will go up significantly (25%), linked in with reductions for existing fans when/if promotions is achieved. Best we can hope for I think. 25% would be like shooting themselves in the foot especially if it was on top of the non-discounted price. I believe non-discounted tickets tickets started at £335 last year so 25% would make them virtually £420. Actually that's more like shooting themselves through the head.
Daggers Posted 3 April 2007 Posted 3 April 2007 <<Rent-a-team>> Sentiments that, on the whole, I concur with.
Blue Bob Posted 3 April 2007 Posted 3 April 2007 MM states that we are some way behind other clubs in generating revenue. This may well be true. But if you look at the team and the way they are playing are you suprised that you dont get a full stadium. Supporters are a fickle bunch so go week in week out no matter what, some occasionally, some are good time supporters. So simple keep prices as they are, invest in the team , get a new manager, play attractive football and the supporters will come back. Then there is your revenue. Only wish it was that simple!!!
Ultra Posted 4 April 2007 Posted 4 April 2007 As Mandaric notes, our season tickets are relatively cheap compared to some teams in this league (Derby and Birmingham spring to mind). But we have witnessed an awful load of crap at the Way over the past three seasons and it doesn't matter what price he sets, I won't be renewing unless I see signs of quality at the club. That means not only a new management and coaching team, but also at least half a dozen players who are capable of taking us towards the top half of this league, an area we've seen all too rarely since relegation in 2004.. Mr Mandaric, the ball is in your court..
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 4 April 2007 Posted 4 April 2007 City fans will only be cool with paying more if the play isn't pish. Milan in his shining armour is on a mission to make sure the play isn't pish. Hopefully, if you lads do have to pay more next season, the play won't be pish.
Geo V Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 I`d gladly pay more money of the players on the pitch are good players and not a bunch of ****wits.
reynard Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 All depends upon which league we are in. If it is div 1 then I can't see prices going p if it is the championship then i can see the cheapest seat beig somewhere between £350 & £400.
Floating Fox Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 I'm seriously thinking of finding a team of my own to manage next season.Rent-a-team seems worse and worse the more I see it - and Leicester City is moving further and further away from being anything to do with Leicester or the club that I once loved. It is becoming part of travelling circus really - an invitation team with acts gathered from wherever they can be found at a loose end - experienced adults only. The only reason to support City now is cos they play in Leicester...yet now Mega-rich Milan wants me to part with more money to support his rented outsiders - so he can bus in as many more flying pickets as he can and as are necessary to buy his adrenilin kick - his sporting Viagra. And what has rent-a-team provided so far apart from resentment, I imagine, from the people whose places they have taken?. Not only six successive games without a win but the sort of entertainment that Thringstone and Friar Lane Old Boys could have bettered in my day. Mandaric's no hero. He's a canny businessman, a chancer, who's hit on a formula that he believes will work ad infinitum and light up his declining years. Good luck to him if it happens. But what has it got to do with me as a Leicester person and Leicester City fan? City's players in the 60's were part of our everyday life. Wee Davie Gibson came from Hibernian and stayed in Enderby for the rest of his life until his recent retirement to the coast. Ian King lived at the top of our road in Leicester Foest East, my dad was a youth club leader where Jeff Blockley hung out, Shilts and I were in the same scout troop, Howard Riley's been at Leicester for as long as I've known him, Rod Fern and Nishy hailed from North Leicestershire if memory serves and once played local football. I don't remember rent-the-boots like Horsfield, Jarrett, Yeates and Newton turning up whenever we had a bad run in the 60's. The team simply played through it and came out the other side with any luck and we lived every moment with em. It's not their fault but I look at those four loanees and really don't give a shit how they peform. They are sod-all to do with Leicester City as far as I am concerned, any more than Welsh or Glombard or Brevett when they turned up. To me our club's abandoned all its principles and gone on the game....the modern game. That's where the club pays biggish bucks - to get f....d by dicks that aren't up to it. Well said Thrac. Join us with the boycott of the walkers starting from next year I'de rather go and watch a team where your aloud to have a good time. The walkers is like a chore recently and the club are taking you all for mugs - And their taking your money at the same time! - Don't put up for it!

potter3 Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 He's going to watch Alsgaer Town with a bunch of Stoke chavs
filbertway Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 Coalville town, even though they're rubbish as well now.
Floating Fox Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 He's going to watch Alsgaer Town with a bunch of Stoke chavs I would rather do that and save my money than be taken for mugs like all of you do. Sounds like you need to "keep the faith!" The faith is gone. And never will be back.
AyewJoking Posted 5 April 2007 Posted 5 April 2007 I spend my money in the hope that something good will happen. Then I'll be able to say I was there. If you really were born in 1990 then that means you are probably one of those who think the "glory" years of the late nineties are the norm and now we've been shite for a while you have given in. (Until we strike back) No offence mate, its just a theory.

Fully understand where your coming from, but to be honest it's not the crap that's served up on the pitch that gets me that much its just off the pitch. The club couldn't give a flying fook about the fans anymore, as long as they get their money. I don't find going to the walkers fun anymore really, only the bigger games and certainly for me to pay 250+ they can fork right off!
