Bradford I think was the team


and nearly went into administration as a result. Sold loads, had little matchday income because very few on the day tickets were sold and those that bought them(season tickets) didnt bother going much becuase they performed poorly on the pitch.

IF it was something that worked wouldnt every club be doing it to increase income and atmosphere?

I don't buy a season ticket to save money, I know as soon as I miss a couple of games I've lost out financially. I do it to save the hassle of booking a ticket each week, to make sure I can sit where I want with who I want and to help the club out with cash flow in the summer.

Stop whining about offers they are putting on to get more people through the gates, it happens at every club not just ours.


I suggest you read the post again, it most definitely wasn't a whine.

Had you bothered to read it you would have noticed I congratulated the club on making the efforts to get extra people through the gate.  

I also stated I was happy to buy my season ticket in the summer, regardless of the fact it's financially of no benefit.

Am a season ticket holder and it doesn't bother me when they do offers for other fans that cannot always afford a season ticket. I'd rather they be offers for fans and bring more atmosphere and people through the gate than the club not bothering at all.


Gtfc all the way

That's great, Zorro.  Not all fans will feel the same though.

I'm a fool and will continue to buy my season ticket year-on-year.

I'm 100% behind the club looking to boost gates and get new fans in, especially making it more affordable for fans.

In any business, better offers are offered to 'new' customers.  That's fine. I don't begrudge new fans that, not one bit.  We all take advantage of the sign up and get 30 days free/your phone bill at half-price for the first 12 months, type offers.    The best businesses don't ignore their existing customers though, they continue to offer them incentives to stay.

It costs 5 times as much to generate new customers as it does to keep the ones youve got.....
