Mr Chansiri has today launched the early bird offer for the 25/26 season , any fan wanting the initial price have just 2 weeks to take up the offer which of course runs through the festivities , the lowest adult price in the ground starts at ?460 and subsequently rises after the 2nd of january , my word !!! The cynic in me suggests that with the news today that Danny Rheol will not be leaving for Southampton has prompted them to put season tickets on sale whilst there is a feel good factor within the fan base but apparently this wonderful seasonal gesture has gone down like a lead balloon , some owners of clubs really are out of touch with the real world !!
The piggy revival is well and truly on!
“Nar then lad….. I’m thinking of going to Sheffield to watch Wednesday on Saturday…..
Make your choice lad, come wi me, and we will call it your Christmas present, Birthday, for the next 18 years, and wedding present too. “
You can see why Chansiri is grasping this opportunity.
Even with a ramshackle squad - Rohl has got them playing.
Chansiri lost big money in the Forestieri years but I think if Rohl stays then Chansiri is likely to roll the dice again and invest.
The only opportunity Chansiri has grasped is to upset a loyal fan base big time, he gave no notice has to when season tickets were going on sale, he then announces a two week window out of the blue for fans to purchase tickets at the cheapest prices ( early bird ) five days from xmas which is the most expensive time of the year for families and has also increased all concession prices for kids, ****agers , young adults , OAP"S and the disabled , he has taken the opportunity to send the fans into meltdown !!! There is a theory by springing this shock blow he is hoping that the season tickets do not sell well at all and therefore fans will buy them at a later date at a higher price as they have missed out on the cheapest window , the other theory is opposite and that is he is desperate for cash for the january window which could mean that the pot has run dry and once again the club is facing financial problems , which ever way you look at it he has upset the fans big time .
Chansiri is an opportunist.
He?s knows he?s dropped on an excellent manager after years of failing to do so.
He?s also desperate to claw back some of the ?80 Million dept (the last I heard - but probably more like double that now) the club is in.
Dept payments are huge - hence the reason they don?t spend on transfer fees.
He?s wreck the club - by following a policy of just throwing money at it.
Surprisingly a policy some of our own supporters want to see our directors do at Barnsley.
The thing is though he has done the opposite to what you are saying, they have hardly spent any money at all in the last few seasons with the only fee of any note being the alleged fee of ?1.5 million for Ugbo , what he has not done is sell any players , when was the last time they sold anyone for a profit ? , think you will have to get the history books for one. I take it you are in favour of springing season ticket sales to the fans at Xmas then YN , I am sure when you go to your next fan engagement with your beloved owners you might suggest them doing the same, also you could ask him to impose a 40% rise in prices for half the fan base as well , I am sure that would enhance their popularity with our fan base , I know you like to be controversial to satisfy your ego but defending Chansiri on this one is beyond belief , however with Wednesdays revival well and truly snowballing you could also join the queue down the A61 to Hillsboro to buy a ticket , back of the queue is currently at Worsboro bridge but if they win today that will quickly get longer .
One thing is certain they are doing much better than us.
