Just a thought but after having a lot of chats with differant people we all came up with the same idea.
So instead of selling 1000 season tickets for £300 plus why not reduce to say first 3000 or even more for £150.00.
Player's play better when there's support behind them.
We'll make more money on programme sales pies,drinks etc.
Surely it's better to fill the stadium than have only 1500 there.

If we can get people on board for the end of the season then there will be good demand for it. Saying that though, the team need to perform their best up until the end. There are so many home games left. March has got loads of interesting home games and the odd good away!
I am hopeful that the promotion side of things will be dealt with much better. We need to shove it in peoples faces and make them realise they should support their local team! I have a few mates who are Liverpool, Everton and United and they are getting sick of the stupid prices in the game and never getting away tickets.
We could really push this if done right!

Season ticket income down, and pay on the door even further reduced. People go on about we should speculate to accumulate. Problem with that is, you can't risk your financial lifeline. If we still had a rainy day fund maybe we could have tried something along those lines. Wouldn't risk it at this time. We actually did speculate this season and look where that has left us. |

Seriously season tickets next season.
What about flushing all the rubbish out our club first?
I said this in October and yet today despite what’s gone on I’m still three sheets to the wind

I actually think this could be a good idea.
No idea of the logistics, but there's definitely a feel-good factor around the place right now and if it gave us a good cash injection now, I think we'd shift a fair few. People are keen to pitch in at the moment and there's an argument to make hay whilst the sun shines.

What about getting season ticket holders (and new applicants) to pay £100 deposit now then receive a discount (£25?) when paying the balance later? 1000 season ticket holders x 100 = a potential £100,000.

We seem to sell about 1000 season tickets every season at about £300. So that’s about £300,000
What about if we sold them for the same price but said if we sell 2,000 everyone will get a £100 refund. If we still only sell 1000 we lose nothing but if we get 2,000 then the season ticket holders gain £100 each and the club gains £100,000

If we’re relegated season tickets should reduce in price. The cost of a season ticket in Conference North ranges from £50 to £290 (Stockport). We need to competitive with our pricing to attract more fans. £18 entry is high, £7 atConnahs Quay.............it’s a difficult!

Problem seems to be who will commit to a season ticket when we don't yet know what league we are going to be in and so prices way need adjusting from this year. Presumably prices go down if we get relegated. Could we then afford a further reduction as a promotional offer? Tough balancing act as we also don't yet know the end of year financial picture other than it won't be good. The £100 deposit idea is a good idea as long as it all doesn't get spent otherwise we will be even further in the dodo.

Agreed we should drop prices but Connahs Quay... ffs that's hardly a comparison is it! A ten pound terrace is probably the best we can hope for next season |

I think anymore than £12 to watch conference north football is too much. The product on offer is awful being fair |

I think anymore than £12 to watch conference north football is too much. The product on offer is awful being fair Problem is, if you reduce prices too much you need to reduce the budget again. Until you see an increase in attendance you have to assume they will be similar to previously. Maybe lower again, due to lower league. The product would then be even worse. Safest thing would be reduce to £15 and £12 again. Concessions reduced accordingly. Maybe try a £10 Harry Mac for all adults and OAP. It is our club. We need to fund it. No one else is likely too. For all the money we have chipped in to help the club, there seems to be as many wanting to pay less. I actually agree £18 to watch Conference footie isn't value for money. But the alternative is what ?? |

For me if we want to attract the "fickle footy fans of the City", students and bring in more youth fans in then it would be better to look at the non-season ticket prices first, then you can work up schemes for season ticket holders.
Family tickets, sensibly priced teenage ticket prices etc.

People aren't going to come in mass to watch crappy conference north football next season no matter what price we charge, we will be in the bottom half of the table all season as we can't compete with the likes of harrogate, Spennymoor,York, Stockport, Brackley etc

What you are saying we know what league we will bein next year hows that have you got a chystal ball or something there are 15 games to go 45 points and you saying we are relegated goodness me i hope the manager and players dont think like that We are NOT down yet lets get behind the lads and try and give them a bit more support you never know if us supportes are saying we are doomed then whats the players be thinking other wise we might aswell just stay at home as for the season tickets if they reduce the prices whatever league we are in and with a reduced budget that been quoted of £250000 looks like we are going to get a bunch of 18year olds we still need some good senior players to help them other wise it be the same as this season men against boys so whats the incentive to buy a season ticket?

A ten pound terrace is probably the best we can hope for next season Nothing wrong with me but thank you for asking. I agree totally Connah’s Quay is hardly a comparison but for folk who are a bit skint they may find £15 ish more than they can afford £7 much more affordable and CQ have many ex Chester players not that should matter either but I don’t want us to lose fans. As mentioned elsewhere I know of a fan of 28 years who has now left to watch his local team. Also so I think £10 terrace is about right, I just worry that we don’t price ourselves out of the market |

Realistically you are correct. Marcus will ensure that 👎 |
