Trust & Supporters Groups Call For Deadline Delay

[BigGibbo]

But why should I listen to you? You're not the GREAT FOXES TRUST!!!!!

FOXES!!!!!!!!

True!

I wouldn't listen to me either

[The People's Hero]

Jon the Hat knows what he's talking about. I'll get him to give us a heads up.

Yeah. Yeah!!

[The People's Hero]

Also, I love Louis Theroux.

He should be our new manager.

[kyleolly]

Well done for informing the fans of this planned price hike.

Could you please tell me what the fook else have you done in the past 3 years plus

[greenfox]

Well done Lisa your points & comments are spot on.

foxes trust have always had no influence & this is why they get so upset with MM , As he doesnt take notice of a very small band of self important people ( foxes trust ) like what Tim davies did.

Foxes trust always imply they speak for the fans & are involved in making points for the fans.

They certainly dont & never will speak for me.

Well I would go with that too.

But the fact of the matter is this: You've got a league one (promotion?!?!) campaign starting in August, you have until the end of May to get your ST renewal, and it costs you £498. You have no evidence from the club thus far to assume that anything will change as it stands now, and to top it off, I'm now no more confident than I was a week ago that IH will still be here come the start of the season.

WILL SOMEBODY STEP FORWARD FROM THE CLUB AND TELL US WHAT IS DEFO HAPPENING WITH REGARDS TO STs AND IH?

This trust clearly hasn't had any effect.

Is anybody on this forum able to give it some clout, or does it need to be a collective effort? And if so, how do we go about it?

I'm not happy.

I will renew my ST, but not until the last possible millisecond. I suggest everybody else does the same. It's not on. Sort it someone.

[Head Honcho]

thanks for the listing....didnt realise they cost so much,ffs

Non league teams charge between £10-15 a game so what's the big deal?

There's no way ticket prices should be dropped this season-the club needs all the money it can get and I say give whoever is in charge a fair crack at the whip of getting us back up with as much financial backing as possible.

It winds people up when they've forked out almost £500 for a ticket and then you get the games where people get in for a fiver or kids for £1 or whatever. Compound that with League One football and this will only serve to wind up people even further. The biggest gates of the season gave away these incentives - so how will they reproduce that next season with a lower standard of football? Offer even more £5 games? Probably.

Reducing STs by 10% would encourage people to buy these tickets and then you might end up getting more in than keeping them fixed as they are now. Let's face it - the sales are unlikely to increase are they?

It may do, but I'd rather be watching Championship football the season after next and a 10% drop in revenue will obviously have a knock on affect as regards wages we could afford and players we could buy.

...................and remember we currently have a squad full of players on Championship money.

I doubt Milan will cover the shortfall and I wouldn't expect him to-who do you think should cover the loss in revenue?

[Daggers]

I doubt a drop in prices would have much effect at all on sales - people aren't buying season ticket because they are either pissed off about the shite football we have been playing for far too long, or they are doing it as some wank demo against Holloway being in charge. Or both.

When this was an issue almost everyone seemed happy enough with a price freeze...which was after people started flooding letters and emails to the club but before the Trust jumped on the bandwagon. I hope they brought some board games or something to occupy themselves with seeing as we all got off ages ago.

Cumbersome and and as relevant as a Brontosaurus on roller skates, that's the Trust that is. Roller skates are out, all the cool dinosaurs are eating meat and using blades.

[The People's Hero]

I've heard the FOXES TRUST want Blair out, too.

[Daggers]

I can't wait to hear the results of their member's poll to see whether or not Chamberlain really has brought us peace in our time.

[Guest]

I'm still waiting for my apology....

[Corky]

I'm still waiting for my apology....

Sorry

Sorry

You're forgiven.

You're forgiven.

That's a relief. Even though I don't know what I did wrong

The person who authorised 3 year deals and massive hike in the wage bill over the last year, that is where the buck stops.

The CEO has already stated the vast majority of players have an automatic wage cut in their contracts for dropping down a division, so they won't be on "Championship money"

Keep missing the point, demonstrate a willingness to drop the price to reflect our status and far more fans will renew, with an overall positive inpact on income - win/win (not that we know what 2 wins in a row looks like.....)

[Foxes_Trust]

I'm still waiting for my apology....

Think the score is about 9-1 to you in taking posts (between Lisa & FT) and selectively interpreting what is said.

We never seek or get an apology from posters, posters rarely apologise to each other, so why is the FT expected to be issuing any?

The crime this time..... trying to get Season Ticket Prices reduced, surely other than the club's CEO we can all see the economic sense for the club (as well as the fans with their financial belts tightening).

Perhaps this will be PA's equivalant of the Davies/Mace one year kit deals, which never worked for the club - exactly what we said from the day they introduced them

[act smiley]

I can understand the logic in wanting a price cut, but do you have any statistics to PROVE that it would get more bums-in-seats/feet-standing-on-L1/whatever and that this would make up from the lost revenue from price cuts? I can see the logic in arguing against the introduction of direct debit fees but not so much the prices - are there statistics to prove that it wouldn't backfire on the club? After all, Bradford and Swindon have both had massively reduced season tickets on the condition that a certain number are sold - and its worked for them. But what proof is there that it would work for US?

The club aren't just going to cut the prices because we suck a bit more now and are in League One, they'll need the cash more than ever (well, almost), yet you don't appear to have any hard stats on whether your suggestions make any financial sense.

I wouldn't trust Dumb and Dumber to go out and buy me a packet of buttonholes let alone anymore football players!

Absolute garbage.

You put yourself into a position to be criticised, and rightly so. I don't need to twist anything; you do a good enough job of making yourselves look silly.

I still don't have a satisfactory answer as to why you broach the subject after the event, and not before. Your argument would have more conviction. Now it looks like you are picking up on what many fans have said for a long time.

That's an opinion, by the way.

Ha! Again - when posting under this moniker you should not indulge in personal quips. The Trust is an organisation, it is not you - and yet you continue peronalising issues.

You, the one doing this, is the problem with people and the Trust. You have no idea about PR and see your work with the Trust as a glorious act of charity that is ungratefully received by the supporting masses.

Suck it up. Some people see you as a willy puller, if you don't like it then either respond to the posts as yourself or step down from a petty little position where you do not appear to be able to handle an ickle bit of criticism.

Being misrepresented is something an organisation has to deal with, not to act like a child and start bickering over who has misrepresented the other the most.

Christ! I meet children with more sodding awareness than you.

[The People's Hero]

Now it looks like you are picking up on what many fans have said for a long time.

It's almost as if they are desperately trying to justify their own existence.

[Corky]

Could the Foxes Trust get back the PA bloke who was at Filbert Street please? If you do then you'd have done something worthwhile for once
