Let's put up season tickets by £200.

[Bigbelly]

If its £200 increase on st how much would match by match tickets increase by?

Buy a season ticket, easy isn't it.

How much people predict the income is is irrelevant.

It's not that irrelevant. I might have tunnel vision here because I only speak to people on NSC who like discussing profits/ST prices etc, but it seems people will be more willing to fork out, or at least accept prices rises, if they think the club is in a poor financial state. If Barber said, "we profited £2m last season" and then put prices up, IMHO there'd be a bigger backlash than if he said, "we lost £8m last season". Do you agree or am I the only one who thinks this?

That'll never happen, Paul Barber said they aren't axed but they are. He said he didn't want to speck about the subject again, end off, period! Having 4 Gully girls waving flags around before the teams come out and 6 walking around the pitch at half time is a token gesture, nothing more.

Wish the [MENTION=257]The Large One[/MENTION] had asked that question when he interviewed him. How much do the catering pay for their contract.

You're being very selective with your comments.

One, Gully's Girls operate at events other than matchdays.

Two, he also said anyone could write to him to ask him something. So why don't you do just that?

As a bit of a lightweight on the drinking front I am always amazed at the amount of beer some drink at the Albion. I should imagine that some are spending at least £30 a game on beer and food for themselves therefore if the match price of a game rose by £10 (about £200 a season) this shouldn't bother many.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

if season tickets went up by £200, how many people would not renew, a good several thousand in my opinion unless we go up. With the extra seats it should be easy to get tickets for any game if you are organised so it would a really bad decision. The club needs to negotiate a better deal with the catering as we must have some of the highest food/beer sales in the countryper fan and would be a real shame if the proceeds couldn't go into the club.

people will not renew next year if there is an increase regardless of what league we're in

People discussing profit and loss is one thing, but if they do it from a position of not knowing, it renders it merely that... a discussion.

If, however, people were discussing from a position of knowledge (i.e. Paul Barber said...), then there is some validity in the arguments put forward.

But you didn't say that - you've effectively accused Paul Barber of lying by indulging in spin.

Not for £200 more than my current st it wouldn't be easy in the slightest

 

[Wozza]

How about if Barber said this....

Season tickets will go up by £175 from next season.

In return, we will bring back Gully's Girls, let the fans choose our kit for next season, halve the price of being team mascot, and trial safe standing in the North Stand back four rows.

This STH isn't remotely interested in any of those 'benefits'. (Or, for the record, Dark Star)

I didn't really but if it came across that way I apologise - I think Barber is doing an effective job. I just thought it was very clever wording, 'tis all.

The club (not just Paul Barber) has announced an £8m trading loss. The details are not yet known.

'Tis all.

If you give me his e-mail address then I will tomorrow when I'm level headed and can put the right questions to him so please leave or PM me his address. Thanks.

 

[Husty]

Come back Dick Knight and Martin Perry all is forgiven?

 

[The Large One]

So you were being selective in listening to the show?

[Paul Skinback]

We need Barry Lloyd to re-run the 'Lifeline' campaign to fundraise to save the Albion.

I have £20 if it helps to save you....AGAIN. That'll be £40 when you reach the promise land, i will not charge interest.

No not at all, thought it was a brilliant show and the presenters were spot on with their questions and their follow ups. I'll listen and tune in more often as it was first class. But it bugged me when he shot the presenters down in flames regarding the Gully Girls which I took offense to which is why I want him to answer my questions.

Makes sense to me

Thanks. I'll send one tomorrow and will expect a better explanation for the Gully Girls question than what he gave on the Albion Roar. I'll not be fobbed off.

 

[Blackadder]

I would suggest around £100 given the riches guaranteed when in the Premiership

Fair enough. Done!

(There will, of course be less games in the promised land).

 

[The Large One]

Just curious, but what answer are you expecting that differs from the one he gave?

 

[Rugrat]

As the club only get a very small percentage (Paul Barber words on the Albion Roar) from pies and beers so instead of the brewery and Piglet making a mint then the club should take them out of the equation and hike season ticket prices to an extent that the club benefits and not them.

Laugh .. Piglets make f**k all. Ram ST prices up and there's 2 less here.
