Season ticket renewals

[Old_time_miller]

I think it is looking likely that having possibly learned the lesson, or more likely the buck is passed to SM if it goes belly up. But bringing into equation sales equals quality is a poor excuse. There are the tv rights, commercial, etc, not just gates bringing money in.
Lets be right about it, what, near 40% on a seat in the W and E must be concessions, so for me it does not equate.

A stewart leverage?

SM said it isn’t about promotion it is all about stopping the decline, so mid-table is the target then. Day later TS says buy season tickets or you won’t get the players we need. I think we will struggle this season, who the coach is will make little difference, because we won’t have the money for players. If we are not doing well SM won’t be able to stop himself sticking his nose into the coach space, and TS already has his excuses ready, 1. SM runs everything football 2. The new rules means the season tickets sales are more important and they were disappointing so not my fault gov.

Surely if you offer an inferior product, League 2, then you really can’t expect to charge top dollar prices.

There should be NO increase on last season’s ST prices, but when you factor in probably less being sold this coming season then the shortfall will have to be picked up somewhere.

Get ready for the backlash Tony if you even dare think about increasing ST prices. You’ve saved countless millions on the high earners who have now left the club so operational costs should be a hell of a lot lower for this coming season if we’re shopping bargain basement for players.

A sensible man would reduce the price by 5% as a gesture and also have schemes in place to get more families and kids in to fill the ground. We are supposed to have a commercial non-executive involved now surely we will see his influence coming through.

Note: did you see the cards held up at the darts in Sheffield last night, the bring back Steve Evan’s cards?

Whatever happened to the Swiss consortium that were going to be the best thing since sliced cheese? Surely they would have been up front and centre with all the dealings being negotiated with a D of S and Head Coach appointments?
Cloud cuckoo clock land springs to mind.

For that reason, season ticket wise, I'm out.

[Derbymiller]

The Swiss thing was press noise, the only Swiss connection at Rotherham is Swiss Tony.

Derby and brin post are exactly my thoughts and position on this.

Stewart thinks we will keep paying top dollar, and this time we will have to wait a few weeks to know what - quality - is being brought in.
AND under his rule, everyone would have to auto renew quickly to let him know.
AND it makes no sense due to the huge number who pay by DD…..so he is going to have to front players upfront!

It is just emotional blackmail. He makes all the mistakes and we foot the bill partly.

Remember what Smith said….relegation only matters to the fans. How true, his accountant is hardly bothered.

Seems like we are all getting somewhat peeved….and he has not even announced the prices.

Prices reduced by 10%. Fair play to the club, wasn't expecting that at all but they've done the right thing after the last couple of years.

If a retail business was run as bad as this club has been run,all the customers would go elsewhere and they'd go bust.We still have a clueless Board doing the same old things every season."we have learned from our previous mistakes" ANYTHING BUT !!!!!!!!!!

Well done to the club reducing the prices.It think it recognises the miserable time supporters have gone through in the last three seasons.

As difficult as next season may be,starting with nothing much left in the squad - hopefully most of our supporters will support the club.
