The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 'Plastics' or not, as long as the support is there for the team. All these comments about hoping the club put a huge increase on new STH are ridiculous. You don't own the club or dictate who can or who can't support the club and watch games. Not everyone can attend all games due to other commitments or financial reasons. The club would be stupid the raise prices significantly. For a start a huge increase will put off a lot of current STH, new STH and potential single match day ticket purchasers. It's not like the club need the money, they should have replicated what Derby have done. End of the day, we are all fans of this club. I don't buy this at all. How many of those without a ST with legimitate financial/working committments this season will find that these problems eliminate themselves next season? We have roughly 16k STHs as it is. If we get 23k next season are you saying the extra 7k have suddenly come into money/had their shifts swapped? It's a very fine line when having this discussion for non STHs to get angry at some STHs whilst STHs unless careful can come across as insinuating every new STH next season will be a plastic fan. I'm happy to have the debate but not if it turns into insults etc
lestajigs Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I'm hearing price freeze for us Sth but 40% on the new ones up the foxes Absolute disgrace if true!!
lgfualol Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I'm hearing price freeze for us Sth but 40% on the new ones up the foxes Ridiculous if true. Scandalous.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I also don't get this, 'would rather have 32k/full house regardless of whether they're 'plastic fans' or not' attitude. There have been times the last couple of months in particular where we've been flying and put in only a half decent first half or aren't 10-0 how the johnny come latelys had expected us to be. ('I've paid £35 for this ticket and we cant beat fookin Blackpool' type attitude) I thought it was bad at times this season it'll be fookin awful at times next season when we're losing heavily etc. Our home support is often naff vocally anyway, particularly when there's a big away end, so it's not going to take much for the minority of tossers to have their boos heard over our pretty weak positive atmosphere. I honestly would rather have the type of fan who made up the 8k at Boro at home last season than I would who will make up the 32k next season. If that comes across as jumped up I'm sorry but it's true.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I'm hearing price freeze for us Sth but 40% on the new ones up the foxes I'm a current holder so happy with the freeze but that price increase is pretty massive, way more than I expected...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Due to work etc I can still only get to somewhere between 5 and 10 home games a season so this won't change for me However it will be great to be in the Prem again none the less Up the Foxes
FuriousFox46 Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I think 30-35% increase is way off the mark. I know disabled tickets have only been put up by 3%. I'm expecting a small increase, if any, for current STH. I think anything above 10% would be insulting. I was told 10% increase was likely

If I were in your shoes I'd be looking at buying one anyway and selling it on a per game basis to family and friends

Neil_LCFC Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Even if it's a price freeze it will be like a 20 percent increase as you get 19 home games instead of 23
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 It's still better than most in the Championship to be quite honest. Not that that is saying a lot Possibly one of the best of a very bad bunch then. Still no excuse though
65RosesFox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 If it is a 10% rise as rumoured for current STH based on 4 less games next season it actually equates to a near 30% price rise overall Less games yes but majority of the games will be seen as Platinum fixtures. So next season the Season Ticket prices will be based on quality of matches rather than quantity.
body102 Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I just hope they still do the monthly payment scheme

If I were in your shoes I'd be looking at buying one anyway and selling it on a per game basis to family and friends Yeah I have thought about it (in fact the wife says she will probs get me a half season ticket in December) but we will see (member this season)
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Yeah I have thought about it (in fact the wife says she will probs get me a half season ticket in December) but we will see (member this season) A few of us do it. Though I give mine away rather than sell it. Gets you on the priority ladder for away games too

Bluetintedspecs Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Love this forum, it's gone from a question to a freeze for existing STHs and a massive hike for new, in a few posts!
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 I just hope they still do the monthly payment scheme Apparentley they'd have to which is good news for me too.

promised land Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Season ticket increase could be the least of our worries, it's just been said that the Baggies have largely boycotted the Etihad as they were charged over £50 for their tickets. A team fighting for survival.

Personally its the sole reason I don't play Saturday football despite being asked each summer
kingpower84 Posted 21 April 2014 Posted 21 April 2014 Some1 ring the club tomoz see what date they gonna bring it out and find out the price so we can all stop making things up and getting angry i would say they will say about season tickets at the donny game and put them on sale then so every1 rushes and signs up and then we dont pitch invade so the pitch is good for the charity match and the rugby
