Jimmy boy the rat

Really hitting the Manure fans where it hurts now.

Mid season - season ticket price hike, up by 40% on adults and the same on kids, also removing the discounts for under 16s.

I'm sure the fans are loving this.

Wow!

40% is shocking but mid season?? That's massively out of order. (in a general sense, obvs-the fact it's Man U fans is hilarious )

Delightful to see the filth getting it right in the wallet as Shatface continues to maximise the return on his investment.

He like all owners have zero regard for the 'legacy fans' the everyday people who make the noise in the stadium, the fabric of the clubs, the life blood that provide the back drop to the drama that plays out on the grass stage week in week out.

Without the sport as a spectacle never would be the grand event that has value and is monetised.

What the Americans and people like Shatface don't understand is that which was proven during Covid with empty stadiums, it was irrelevant.

Turning a match off when the stadium was empty was easy as there was no jeopardy. When thousands of passionate people are singing and booing and screaming their lungs out the crowd at home have buy in. FOMO I guess.

The value of clubs beyond the bricks, mortar, players and cups.

All that value goes away when the fans walk away.

Something that the Super League advocates and financial backers misinterpret. So ignorant to their greed that they don't even understand the true value.

Hubris.

Mike Ashley v.2

He?s appointed better people because the club has more money to do so, but at a time when he should be mending fences with disappointed fans he?s removing lunches, tickets, home working from staff and hitting the fans in the pocket when majority of fans are still worse off in the current economy.

Saying that, this football bill going through the commons could have a big impact on every club, with more revenue potentially to be spread through the pyramid? so it could be that every club increases their prices if that were to happen.

There is also a chance that they could ban state owned clubs? with us and City the obvious targets? this was an amendment proposed by the MP for Brighton and will be voted on mid Dec.

Not sure it will pass mind, not sure the trade with Saudi and Quatar will look favourably on telling them to p!ss off so I?d expect it doesn?t pass, but there?s a chance.

Hubris.

100% correct snd summed up perfectly by the Great man himself:

What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It?s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It?s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It?s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father?s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.

The greed is edging closer and closer to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Back in the 1980?s we used to go absolutely mental in the Gallowgate when we scored. Always. Soon some people won?t even stand up.

Well put TopToon and basically summed up as I was thinking Rag.

To sum up, he knows ZERO about football and less about football fans.
