5th home sell out...

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Let's hope this transfer window pans out better than the last one - if it doesn't, we could be in trouble.

After the last one we only got promoted up by 1 division. Surely you nor not expecting us, with better transfers, being bumped into the Championship! lol.

I know we didn’t have a long pre-season but it did include a transfer window 🤔⚽️😂

Quoted from MuddyWaters

The ST release is a joke. The very least they should do is allow free Mariners TV passes to those who give up their seats.

When we've sold above home capacity I can see the argument that season ticket holders whose seats have been resold should receive a small reimbursement or club shop credit. A tenner is dreamland though. I bought a season ticket knowing it's possible I would miss some games, that's the risk I took. Happy for the club I support (and a fellow supporter, it's a decent view) to benefit from what otherwise would be an empty seat.

I’m not suggesting giving anyone a tenner. If you’ve paid for a season ticket and give up your seat for a genuine reason, you’re giving the club an opportunity to raise extra revenue. A free pass for Mariners TV doesn’t cost the club £10 in terms of actual cost.

The reason doesn't matter- the club isn't going to differentiate between those not turning up because of illness and those who've barely turned up to a game all season (there's a few near me). If the club gave you a free match pass they'd be saving you a tenner. Not sure what maths you're using

The only viable thing I can see working is if you pass your seat on for them to sell and they do a simar thing like asda rewards.. if your seat sells for £5 you get 50p into your cash pot, if it sells for adult price £20 you get £2 in your cash pot, if it doesn't sell you get nothing... you can spend your cash pot any time at Grimsby Town FC whether you save it up and spend it on Christmas gifts or put it towards renewing a ST etc

I like that idea

Money off next years season ticket is a good idea because it’s incentive to renew and get your cash again next season.

I bet we have more people on the turnstiles than Asda do on their checkouts, i begrudge having to scan my only weekly trolly of shopping.

I do like the principle of the idea though 👍

Not really, if you have a season ticket, you've paid to watch that match. It costs the club nothing to allow you to stream something they're already streaming and they get the chance to sell that seat on. I think if you give up your seat, it's perfectly reasonable to get a match pass. Right now that can't work because of the blackout for most games, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this implemented during the trial blackout removal if it happens. I'd say you need to give more than 24 hours notice too otherwise the seat is difficult to sell.

To think you've already paid for the premium option and you can't have the budget one as a token of good will for allowing the club to make more money is a bit mean spirited. And the mariners tv season pass was £140 for 49 games (abroad), so it's only a couple of quid using that metric.
