Quoted from rancido

I received my ST pack today and although I'm not bothered when it comes, as long as it's before the Early Bird offer finishes, I do have one gripe about the pack. Enclosed was a leaflet for the Grimsby Town Sports and Education Trust which was announcing 2 and 3 day training sessions for 5 to 15 year olds. I thought this was a great idea until I saw that the dates mentioned are 30th and 31st May for Oasis Academy Wintringham and Humberston Academy. Seeing as these dates have passed the whole concept has become a pointless exercise. I've never been one to criticize the commercial side of the club but this is so stupid as to be unbelievable.

could have had 10% off if you had been an ST holder as well....

Good to see the club still working in its own unique way.

Quoted from ginnywings

Ours are not on sale yet, so she got you one for Sincil Bank. They're all the same aren't they?  

And if you're reading this on Monday, it's Newark's ex-wife.

Quoted from HotToddy

3,000 last season is bloody good going and it shows that someone at the club knows what they are doing. It makes me laugh when idiots on here who have know idea about marketing say that there's no forward planning.

The club did naff all last season to promote season ticket sales. It was the Trust.

Really? I'll alert the United Nations, you press the 4 minute warning button, crash the world economy and stop aid to the starving millions.

FFS are we really that anti Town that we have to find small details to pick at and moan about................In the scheme of things yes it is a bit unprofessional but to be honest it's no big deal.

Why didn't we have people putting season ticket packs through doors a couple of days after pay day, people standing on street corners or on the sea frong flogging them? Why didn't we have door knocks and also why didn't we sign Amond and Arnold? This might appear all cynical capitalist tactics but Surely all these might have boosted it to maybe 3500 or maybe even 3750! Then more people would be there to enjoy it and might come back this season!

I may be wrong but I thought the delay in season tickets was due to the clubs financial year end being May? If we started selling them in May 17 we'd have had them on last years accounts (as well as all of last years ST sales) and would have declared a larger profit/ bigger tax bill. I suppose it wouldn't have mattered had we made a loss but with the Bogle money coming in it could have been counter productive to sell them early.

Stop being so sensible and ruining peoples moans

You pay tax or VAT as it would be on ticket sales at the same percentage so though we would have paid more VAT we would also have made more profit which heading into a season where the we need to show some ambition would have been useful wouldn't it?

Stop and think about it would putting them on sale earlier necessarily mean more sales? You are either going to get one or not going to get one regardless of the cost. In reality unless clubs slash prices or have a promotion/near miss and cup run season the term before most clubs sales stay at a similar level each year, our level appears to be in between 2500 and 3000.

What has fuelled this thread is the fact that Lincoln went early and have sold a lot, FFS people even criticised GTFC for freezing prices and warning of a "potential" increase in 18/19

The Gimps went early for one reason only and that is if The Cowley's had left before they went on sale they may have struggled to hit the numbers they have done

Its called seizing the initiative...something we didnt do considering 10-15000 people had just had a great day out at Wembley, the feel good factor was there..right then...not 6-8 weeks later when half of the squad had announced it was off elsewhere.

Its a continuing theme with the club and its PR....it simply isnt consistantly good enough....there is some good stuff but some simple basic stuff just falls flat....come on...how hard is it for someone to just proof read what is going in the packs and realise that they are outdated ?

Mind you on the plus side i cant wait for my ST to come through so i can use the 10% off admission price voucher at Cleethorpes Zoo.
