sheffield_dave Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The more I think about this, the more it feels the club have put serious work into offering something that's a good enough deal to capture a nice cash grab before January, yet still stupid and prohibitive enough that most will have to spend more later. It's genuinely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will just end up not bothering if they then feel like they’ve been forced into buying at a higher price. The only reason to offer an early bird price this early is that they want your money right now. I.e, literally right now, not in 9 months split over finance. Like I say, maybe this isn't a cynical cash grab before January, but it sure looks like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 If you ever want clarification of how a club treats you as a customer and not a supporter then this is it. 9 months before a season starts the club want all the money up front giving you 4 days notice & 1 week to buy at the cheapest rate. The pricing is fair for 1 week, the same ticket 10 days later is £40 more? Why?! Have one early bird & run it from Mid January until Mid Feb giving all fans plenty of time and opportunity to buy one at a fair price. Poor from SWFC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to penalize those who get paid end of the month. We don’t half make it complicated. it’s ridiculous. With Christmas coming only those with plenty of spare cash can afford them. Early bird prices should change month on month. I can only assume they think Covid is going to bite hard soon and spook fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneManBand Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Another one of Chansiris hair brained ideas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JemmoJemoJemmo Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Like everything under Chansiri this makes no sense whatsoever! if it’s because we need the cash in December, the cash flow forecast would’ve shown this well before today. In which case it is ridiculous to give fans so little notice. At least let them know a month ago. If we don’t need the cash in December, then why on Earth would you ask fans to dip in their pockets at the toughest time of the year? Either way, total and utter incompetence! Im done, a season ticket every single year since 84/85 season but I’m not paying this idiot any longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never in my life known a business not understand their own customer as much as SWFC. It's absolutely mental isn't it. Just when you think they are starting to make small step they do something like this. DC will have just railroaded this through, there's no way anyone with an ounce of sense would say this is a good idea. We were desperate for change in how the club was being run and whilst DC was away, it appeared Dooley was making some decent small steps forward. Then DC over and bang, all that work undone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyOK Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Good value. bad timing. I’ll just wait until nearer the end of the season and take the finance option. I’m not fussed about it costing an extra £60 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sorry but it stinks of pure desperation to get a bit of cash in. We're 4 months into our league 1 season and they stick the cheapest prices out just before Christmas. Far too early to bring them out, but again it just seems like a cheap shot to get some quick money into the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I have to admit when I saw they want your money by 13th December for best price that the alarm bells in back of my head were ringing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I don't want to get in to the medical / politics of it all but they is a decent chance that games might have to played behind closed doors again in the near future, I dont trust SWFC with the refunds after last time if they do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
