Season Tickets Next Season

[garthrockett]

Somewhat ironic ( in the alanis definition) that the example of Hereford has been used, given that their fans absolutely stayed away from the club because of the owners and management.

Used more in the context of the fact that they finally have a football teaam to watch again come the new season, and arguably won't care about the quality of the football - for a while at least.

I accept all the misgivings about how the club has been run and possibly how it will be run into the future, and have started thinking about my renew/not renew decision.

But I wonder what sort of club and squad we would have next season if none of the season ticket holders renewed. I think if you decide not to renew, then that is the situation you would have helped create and one that you must consider and therefore, must be prepared to accept.

What would Jesus do?

What would Jesus do?

Philippians 2:3-4 - "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. "

Corinthians 12:26 - "And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it."

Conversely if we ALL bought season tickets then the money would be gone by October I guess.

They have demonstrated that they cannot handle money in a responsible way therefore I prefer to trickle my gate money in game by game and what is more it is better business for them.

[Tamworth Harrier]

Pershore I couldnt agree more.

So at the end of last season they set a budget for this season I presume based on donations (Lanes) plus gate receipts, Lolly money etc. Now despite the lanes fulfilling their promise, gates only down slightly, the extra income from the sales of marvin, Blissett and Dunkley plus getting high earners off the wage bill we are still in the shit. So no I wouldnt trust this lot with any money upfront either.

I never buy a season ticket because I work away most weeks so can't make Tuesday night games.

So I know my point isn't very valid but even if I could make all the games I still wouldn't buy one due partly to Pershore's points about them not being trusted with the money up front, but mostly due to the dross served up by GW/MC.

[Harry Aire]

Like Sprials I will pay up come May. It's like a marriage indeed. Just wish the old lady's family weren't such a bunch of egotistical, self-important, incompetent mediocrities. I'm going to have tea with them on Monday night but I doubt they'll speak any sense. Could be worse. I might have married Hereford.

[Jonkers]

Pershore I totally agree I am undecided re next year but its unlikely I will renew for the first time in many years.
Harry love you post well said.

[Bigfoot]

I know at the start of the season that due to shift work, i will miss between 6 and 9 games but still renew because I support the team through thick and thin. That way, the club get my money even if I cannot be there. Same as I have a standing order for the monthly raffle but also buy one when I go to the game - and half time draw too.

I will always support the Harriers and would miss it too much so yes , I will renew.

Over the last three years due to ill health I have not been able to attend the Harriers but however I have still bought a season ticket so I agree with Bigfoot you support your club through thick and thin.

interesting that Part of Gary's playing budget depends on how many season tickets are sold and how many boxes are sold

so I guess its people own choice but buying seasons tickets and renewing them gives us as a club a better chance of staying in this lg.

as said, football is different you support your team thru good and bad times......

[Tamworth Harrier]

I imagine season ticket sales will take a huge drop for next season. You will always get people who renew whatever but with the goings on in the board room and the standard of football being served up I get the feeling we have a lot of disgruntled supporters who wont renew.

[pershoreharrier]

I will continue to attend every home game and pay on the gate so they can count on that when setting the playing budget. In fact of course the playing budget is based on many things including gate receipts.

When I feel confident that we are not going to lurch from one financial crisis to the next then I will be confident of handing over my season ticket money early with the knowledge that it will be properly managed and not blown in the first couple of weeks of the season.

Unfortunately some people don't earn enough money to just buy a season ticket no matter what, it's not exactly cheap for a family of four in the East Stand. There still has to be some kind of entertainment factor and there has been very few moments to shout about this season.

The board may feel like you that all supporters should renew their season ticket but sometimes it's not as simple as that, we all on this forum want this club to exist for years to come and play at the highest level possible but the board can't expect people to renew just for this reason.

Will you be getting one if G W and M C are still here . Yes or no .
