Boycott Shrewsbury Rearranged Fixture

[Mattholl]

Think of the costs of floodlights/stewards/police/staff etc. For a club at this level it would be difficult for them to make it free entry. It's not ideal, but it's silly making a fuss as you'll only harm our own team by not supporting them.

 

Im sure the insurance costs for the damaged, plus the fact they would have already made a large profit from the game which was abandoned would cover the costs of all of the above for the replay

It's akin to you buying an item from a shop, it being faulty and them refusing to give you a replacement or refund. Fairly sure you would be up in arms if it affected you.

 

It's completely and utterly their fault and yet the fan on the street who is completely blameless carries the can!

 

I was told if we kept our stubs we would gain free entry.

[Mattholl]

Some people say that we have nothing to play for this season. They are wrong, as we can still screw up Shrewsbury's promotion campaign. Bring it on!

 

only good reason to go ive heard so far, other than the self righteous who once more appear to dominate OVF... its surprising theres so many better more dedicated vales fans out there, i do feel humbled at times ;)

Exactly mate imagine buying a tv and it breaks when you first use it, then you go back to the shop and they say they will sell you another for half price.... hardly a great deal with great customer service is it

[valiant1980]

you would of thought the admins at PVFC would fight this, or maybe they wont if they have a cut of the new ticket sales and "screw" the fans!

[Fozza19]

I heard the tannoy announcer say about keeping ticket stubs but I'm guessing after all this it just means that people with stubs will get priority on tickets.

 

Bit of a joke I think. They've had my opinion by email.

[Warren]

My understanding, based on research in 1978 I admit, is that when a game is abandoned before half time readmission is free. When it is abandoned in the second half the home club can decide whether or not to charge admission to the reorganised game.

 

Some sympathy with Shrewsbury is due because this so called act of god will cause the club to have to stand the cost of the second game. The fans and the club both lost out. I am not sure about the ethics of season ticket holders being treated more favourably though.

[Loggerheads Sage]

I a sure I have read it is only vale fans they are charging again.

 

No, Shrews ST holders get in free, others got to pay like us. Why should ST get in free? - that means they have seen 23 and 2/3 games this year. Cynical move by STFC - end of season, crucial, so their pay on the gaters and glory hunters will pay a tenner and obviously they don't care about us. Stuff em! It's not the tenner, I could look at it that a tenner for a game is good (in fact £27 for a game and 2/3 is good by our standards) and I would not have to pay for petrol/parking for either game, I just don't like being ripped off. STs have to pay for extra games ie cup games. A fiver for everyone and they would still have been up without annoying everyone.

Especially after telling us to save our stubbs and admitting they have a policy!!

[valiant_593]

No chance im going, already payed once for it to be called off, and it was there fault not ours. Had to pay for a **** coach as well, breaking down on the way in! I personally think people should stay away.... Shocking commercial idea by Shrews

[valetillidye]

on the other hand it could be a tenner to watch us cause an upset and cost them three points that on Tuesday they looked set to gain AND put a big old spanner in the works for them!

Posted by Mellor on another thread and just been announced on RS.Hold on to ticket stubs there will be an announcement in the next few hours.

[Andy not related to Paul K]

I think the statement on keeping your ticket stubs for the next game was to ensure there would not be any issue when they cancelled the game.

 

Anyone remember that bonfire night years ago when we were 3 up against aldershot i think and the fog got the game abandoned - it was bad , I only remember seeing one goal.

 

i'm pretty sure we had to pay for the rearranged fixture

[JOHNNYAITCH]

I'll still go. I saw over 2/3 of the last game and we were heading for defeat, as they were on fire.... We've got another chance... and at £10 for 90 minutes ( hopefully ) i shall not grumble.

 

A tenner for a good night of pi ss taking....

 

Oh dear!!!!
