Wouldn’t mind but if they sped up half time service they could’ve made the same amount of money extra comparable to the increase in season ticket price increases. Amount people I know that don’t bother getting half time food because of the queues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do but judging the queues at half time I’m guessing most don’t or that 45 minutes between meals is long enough for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can venture out 5 minutes before HT and not have the remotest chance to get back in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2022 I love the owners for what they're doing/have done so far but they're wrong on this one. This is the first time in my lifetime we've had a waiting list and I hope they've looked at how fickle our fan base has been over the years. It was only 3 years ago the top tier of the Trinity had to be closed because there wasn't enough interest in going to VP. The football at the moment is crap, the food is crap, the service is probably the worst I've experienced ever. If they want to put the prices up then fix those 3 problems as a starter. I'll give the club another year probably before I really question whether I'll want to renew. Like others have said, a lot of the 'games gone' issues have killed football a little bit for me anyway, not knowing whether or not to celebrate a goal etc. It's all a bit shit now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 8 months there's a big chunk of change missing that you had in your bank the month before. A 12 month recurring ST basically becomes a subscription service. No idea why they haven't done that, saw on the Twitter Q&A that they have no interest in even looking at it. Yep, Newcastle do that. Continuous direct debit every month forever. New prices start in May every year, so by the time the season starts you’re already at least 2 months ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also the group stages of the Champions League. It has been a while since I’ve checked this though. You do get the first home cup game included in our ST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the old adage, take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. This will be added to the pot along with better sponsorship deals, better commercial deals, better all ways of raising money. We're competing at the very sharp end in a vicious business and literally every penny counts, especially when competing against teams in London and Sky 6 who have advantages over us in so many areas. Look at the table, currently 6 London teams in it, will be 7 next season. Fulham have a new stand and their revenue will be massively enhanced by the London effect, they will probably stay up and compete. Brentford have stayed up and have their new stadium earning pots of cash. It's why we have to get a new North Stand, but the tickets we well sell in it will probably still cost less than what Fulham are charging in their new Riverside Stand. We don't have to do it just because others are? Well no we don't but if we want to stay behind the likes of Fulham and Brentford in the pecking order don't then complain about it. These teams are all pocketing the enormous TV money AND stadium money and it really does make a difference. Yep agreed. You only have to look at those couple of years we had Acorns and no sponsor. It was great, loved the club for it, but we started to fall so behind the other clubs because of it (and yes there were obviously other reasons as well). I understand that it’s not great with the way the country is going at the moment and that prices are increasing for cost of living. But as a club, I don’t see how we could compete by not upping prices. I read before, someone saying that we shouldn’t do it because the German clubs don’t. Unfortunately they all have a completely different model and the whole league buys into with the pricing. English football isn’t there and therefore we can’t act like German clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The main reason they have put the prices up is due to the fact we have a waiting list of supposedly 24k on, as if we don’t renew someone else will happily pay the new price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's part of the FFP picture? Perhaps it's difficult to justify the owners intended top 8 expenditure when your gate receipts are 14th in the league.

turvontour Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Does anyone else feel like this season was the worst set of fixtures/scheduling of matches that we've had in years. Or is this just the way itll be going forward, with very few Saturday 3PMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 4 hours ago, ender4 said: £23 million is our projected match-day revenue for the coming season. It’s massive, over 10% of our total annual revenue. And Spurs make almost £100m from their match-day revenue so it could become almost 50% of our total revenue if we were matching Spurs. The majority of that would be through the swanky corporate areas, not the normal seats. Which is why the new north stand will be corporate heavy.
