Andyben Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Club making more money? No offence intended @holmesfield_owlbut that's the typical Wenzdi fan attitude that needs to change. Fans who can't afford or justify a season ticket or simply join as a way of helping the club pay it's bills? Or like I did sign my son up as a way of keeping a link between the club and fans who can't go to matches as they live overseas. Its only a fucking quid a week for adults. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Tbf as Andyben rightly says i look at the bigger picture so I will still get a membership (at the start of the season as well). I might not even get value out of it vis a vis saving on match day tickets purchased, but I look at my overall perceived value. But the flip side of that coin is the Club itself as now undervalued this by permitting folk to queue jump by purchasing one last minute.

There'll be a cut off Whilst I understood the Club made a bit of dosh by permitting it I thought it was poor practice really. Basically if you want to attract the 2nd tier of fans to sign up, it has to be beneficial value wise but it has to have a degree of exclusivity. Those benefits shouldn't be able to be side swiped last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get where your coming from, but it’s Sheffield not Monte Carlo Your average Wenzi fan ain’t going to spend £50 to help the club pay its bills or as a way of keeping a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 What really irritates me is that members get a SWFC Christmas card, whereas mere season ticket holders are taken for granted. And the birthday party discount could pay for the membership alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80s Owl Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I have bought memberships in the past and got my money's worth, it also gives you that added reassurance of getting a ticket for bigger games, was it 30 quid last season though? Allowing people to apply for them for the play off was a bit of a shameless cash grab to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesh Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Given the price of STs £50 is standard and with the discounts offered make sense if you cannot commit to an ST.

I ponder how many who rushed to get their ticket priority pass - sorry membership in late May this year, will presumably now be front of the queue for 2023/24 memberships. Seems those who do the equations for the cost / benefit exercise in August suddenly changed the formula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Looks a decent deal to me as an alternative to a season ticket if missing a few games. I was annoyed at myself for not getting my Daughter one last year as she ended up going to about 17 games. Honestly thought she would lose interest so never considered one. She has her first ST this year. She has never seen us lose despite going to probably 30 games last few years !
