season ticket prices....are you happy ?

[fraggle]

Don't agree with them not allowing new season ticket holders to buy at the lower price, so much for showing any kind of loyalty to the converted walk up pay on the day fan. Stuff your season ticket Norman, if you want to reward those that have previous season ticket holders, you should also be using that rich load of data from the ticket master system to send out a nice statement of what they've paid during the season and convert them to a season ticket or at least show some reward to those fans too!

 

Stinks if you ask me, tinpot run club yet again!

Would have been nice for the Sentinel to put a positive spin on it but that's too much to ask. Having explained that if the same 4300 STs renewed and dev squad abandoned we will only have a drop of 200K on this year's playing budget they go onto say what a massive reduction in the playing budget will be if 300 don't renew.

 

Well after a very successful season wouldn't it have made sense to say if 300 more bought STs the playing budget would actually increase over this seasons I.e. a positive statement to Vale fans that the club can still move forward.

 

But no dear old Sentinel still have anti Norman grudges it seems.

Nice to know some OVF posters have such a high IQ.

[andy jones]

I think it's fair to say that some of the posters on here and the SC (although it could be said that was of Norman's own making) have been shown to be wrong in their prediction of massive playing budget cuts.

[Rampant Zebra]

Ten quid a game absolute max given the level of football and current ecconomics anything higher and it simply aint worth it imho

 

Go and watch non league if you want to pay £10 a head, football isn't as good though...

Thats ridiculous...... Its Smurfs job to promote his business he must have told the Sentinel that 4,300 season tickets needed to be sold (Well thats the figure this week ) So thats whats reported.

Dont forget it was the dear old Sentinel that helped lead the fight against Miller and Deakin remember them ?

[andy jones]

There was no need for them to suggest the affect of 300 not renewing they could and should have stated the positive affect from an increase in sales considering the season we have had.

Any road up I've already got my ST ...... for the Titanic Brewery Club. Lots of freebies and a £1 a week off a pint.

There was EVERY need for Smurf to sell his business and put a positive spin on the release.

 

He should control the press release so it benefits the club,not hope that a reporter at the Sentinel will do it for him.

The Sentinel isn't interested in promoting the Vale or encouraging people to go to the Vale. Their job is to make money for Northcliffe, Full Stop!

I believe that the Chairman himself said that the playing budget would be slashed. Smoke and mirrors

The Sentinel is not owned by Northcliffe,and I would argue in the MOLD days the Sentinel did more than their fair share of campaigning to highlight what was going on,Radio Stoke did nowt.

I thinks it's a case of people wanting something for nothing, a bargain, but want us to be a success at the same time.

 

£14 a game and without remembering the exact child price doesn't it work out at about a fiver a game?

 

When I was under 16 in the 90's I can remember paying something like £9 on the gate - half my life later and as an adult I'm paying £14 a game. Not a dramatic difference given the time that has passed.

 

The ST for kids is the cost of a few xbox games these days.

£12 to get in stafford rangers.
