Go to the matches

[Mellor!]

=== väl sagt svenska tappra, måste vi stödja laget till slutet av säsongen. Jag kommer att vara tillbaka i Sverige i juni för att besöka familj och se den mäktiga Örebro SK.

 

It's just off the m6 near Wednesbury.

Jåvla.....

Word association is a worry sometimes. For instance, every time I see SV posting I'm reminded of another english lesson...

This season is over some more points so we dont go down to Conference but in reality its over. But the player need a lot of support now, we most give them the strong feeling we have of our club, let them feel of strong our fans feeling is for this club. If it is 5500 on a match that in reality dosent mater its start som feeling for the players. If they stay next season we have something to built on.

I shall go with good example so I travell over from Sweden for the match 21th april. Its a lot of hours travell and a lot of money. But it worth it. And for you who leave in Stoke it worth it to go on the rest of all matches this season, Its wortht it for the future.

How long this message was now and a lot of wrong english but I hope that you understand my point

 

Total Class.

I'm trying my best to attend games but £21.50 is difficult to find. I wish the administrators would realise this!

[Andy Proctor]

put it this way if you dont have a season ticket then it is too exspensive to keep forking out £21.50 for each home match they should have reduced the price down to around £18.

Time and time again people were saying that admin is our only option...people were celebrating when it was announced...well folks here we are!...deal with it! It was never going to be nice and unfortunately this is the reality.

 

The administrator has to look at current budgets and figures when making these decisions and based on current attendances and ticket sales we arent sustainable....like it or not thats the way it is!!

 

Its up to any new owner to look at discounts, incentives etc....dependant on how much they want to pump into the club they may decide that a reduction is the way forward. But this will be an 'investment' on their part in the hope that it will improve things going forward.

 

The administrator is not in a position to do that.

Football below the elite clubs is a very price sensitive business specially in the current economic climate. If Port Vale sell 1000 walk ups @ £16 they will make a lot more money than 500 @£20.50.

That is the real world.

But we've already seen this season that a one off reduction in gate prices doesn't generate the footfall that would be required to make it cost effective. Those numbers just don't work out in the real world.

 

The administrators have to use the information they have and set prices accordingly.

 

If the new owner wants to 'invest' in a price reduction in order to try and encourage more people to turn up then thats their prerogative....its a long term investment which is not in the remit of the current administrators responsibilities.

As you well know their was a boycott going on which you also took part in. If people get out of the habit of going to Vale they will not come back in a hurry.

The real world is Port Vale is situated in a very low wage/high unemployment area and is currently selling a very poor product. 2,000 or so fans may well sing "Vale till I die " but that won't keep the club in the football league will it ?

I tend to agree,being away from the games all season Hereford was the first one i could manage and i have to be honest the old buzz for me just wasn't there and i guess there will be many like that,i also understand why the admin have done what they have done with the prices for next season BUT if people think fans will flock back with higher prices then they are a bit deluded imo.

The administrators have a job to do. That job is not to undermine new owners and make their job as difficult as possible by slashing next seasons ticket prices

 

Time and time again they said last night it will be down to the new owners to set the prices, they may keep them as they are, they may increase them even more than the admins or they may slash them but that will be their decision.

 

Right now the administrators have the task of finding a buyer for a loss making business and they will not do that by slashing the income for the new owners.

 

The admins have done the dirty work for the new owners, they can choose to reduce prices if they wish and extend the honeymoon period.

 

The new season is more than 4 months away, we first need to ensure there is still a Port Vale come next August rather than bothering about what might or might not be the admission prices
