Cant see how anyone can criticise the club for trying.Wasnt long ago that they'd have not listened or bothered.I got my ST now but I can see how this offer might well suit a fair few who'd otherwise not attend.Good on 'em I say.

If the Club offered free beer with tickets the usual suspects on here would complain they were tea drinkers

Thanks for the reply. I thought I was over thinking it but that was the first thought I had when I saw the scheme.

As I said, it's good they're trying something new but does seem a little strange that it's quite a bit cheaper than a season ticket. Hope it works.

Exactly..might not work out, but certainly worth a try I reckon.

Anyone who bought a season ticket at full price since 1st June is either stupid or doesn't really care about the extra £55. Realistically, the only people who might possibly be upset by this are those that might not make it to 15 games this season and have a season at £199.

Imo this should of been launched the same time as season tickets.
I got my early bird ticket but this suits me better.
Feedback from who people who didn't renew ?
What about the people that did renew do they not matter again.
It's a great idea btw lots are just disappointed they didn't get the choice and rightly so.
but we finished 9th!

Really??

If I got an email from the club asking me the reasons why I had bought a season ticket, I'd think it was some kind of wind up! :)

My only criticism of this is I'm a bit disappointed they didn't release this at the same time as the season tickets because I would have preferred to have gone with the flexi card. I've been highly critical of the club over recent times for not doing enough to boost attendances (in my opinion, attendances are the clubs biggest problem at the moment). However well done to the club for trying something and it seems like a really good idea

Just got an email from the club which says:

"There will be only one ticket per Flexi-Card per match for the holder only. To ensure that the offer is not abused you will be asked to provide a passport sized photo when applying for your card and show it when purchasing / collecting your ticket and again at the turnstile when entering the ground."

Isn't this a load of useless admin if you have to purchase a ticket, then go to the gate. why not accept flexi cards and £10 cash on the Season ticket gates? is the photo on the card or separate to it?

Decent idea poorly executed maybe.

The club issued photo cards with the free child season tickets, but only if you bothered to provide a photo. If you didn't provide a photo they still provided a ticket - or in one case issued two tickets.

If I'd have known we'd be letting our best players go on a weekly basis, then I would never have bought a season ticket. Piss takers.

The best clubs in the world lose their best players. Why would we be any different.

"Letting them go" is a funny way of putting it. They had no contract with us. Not much the club can do other than offer a new one. If they won't sign, they won't sign. What can you do other than offer silly money?
