Tewksbury Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 18 minutes ago, HoylandOwl said: I think more will do going forward, we live in a world where many things ‘entertainment’ are paid for that way, so I can see it happening. It has worked for Hull, but if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t it berated when it was introduced? You'd need a pretty stable club and fanbase. Would be lunacy to put it in here, with the entire 'put money into the club, part of the problem' hypocrites persuading people to cancel the DD.

Same sort of club, upper midtable, flirt with the playoffs, fine if they don't get them or go up. They're the only type of teams who could realistically pull it off with how fickle and emotional fans get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the vast majority of our fan base would ignore the noise from others. Watching Wednesday thru thin and thinner is ingrained in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still enough idiots and misinformation to make it not worth it to the club. All it takes is someone saying some rubbish like 'terrible football isn't what we paid for, Chansiri promised top 6 football so we don't have to pay' and even a few to believe it and you're screwed.

Andyben Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Easily solved. Monthly or annual payment. If you cancel you're charged or refunded the difference between the total value of each game you've attended (at PotD rates) and what you've paid in so far. There'll be very few annual subscribers cancelling. If you cancel a monthly subscription, then you can't restart during the same football season s will be tied into PotD rates.

Some of the shit I have signed up for years without realising and then you still end up paying another year because you didn't cancel 90 days pre the renewal. More random one was the hot water boiler thing. Just 3 years to go and I don't even have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I can’t see this phase being a big seller as things stand. I suspect those that would renew come what may will have done so already, but if you are wanting to see which league we are going to be in - not now.

Fat Eric Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I'm sure the Junior Doctors of today believe they still have a right to pay that price for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better comparison would be calculating it as a percentage of the average yearly wage. Can't find a figure for 79, but in 78 the average yearly wage was £3269, so a £46.90 season ticket equates to 1.43%. This year the average yearly wage is £34,963 and a £630 season ticket (south stand phase 1) equates to 1.80%. Believe we were in the second tier both seasons(?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Jack Charlton promotion season, featuring of course the BDM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of suggests that ticket prices haven't changed all that much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
