Seasoncard Renewals 2017/18

Noticed they announced a price freeze on 4th April last season (and we were still in the CL!) With just an email detailing a renewal date a freeze looks unlikely and a reduction impossible.
The rags have already announced frozen S/T prices for the sixth successive year. One area we could certainly learn from them.
 
Speaking to 2 stewards last night.

They were adament that the searches have been stepped up since the Paris stadium attack.

They also admitted that the searches were to stop certain foods and drinks going in.

They were aware of the discontent amongst the fans about the searches, but it now has to be done.
 
Imagine the crowds for the Europa League, if we don't make the Champions League.

Thanks for posting this, the last point is very pertinent "selection of appropriate audiences " etc, meaning find the type of fan that has attributes and behaviours that fit our target profile for supporters that spend the money we want them to spend.

We are going to make the Champions League quite comfortably though, so that's a rather redundant hypothetical. We've got about an 80% chance of finishing 3rd, let alone 4th.

Repost that after the Watford game when we've qualified for the CL. Until then.....

Nonsense! There are 4 teams scrapping for 2 places. It could be any 2 teams that miss out.

No, there's 3 teams fighting for 2 and we've got the easiest run in, the fewest injuries and are 1 point behind Liverpool with a game in hand.

I appreciate it's not the exciting end to the season we hoped for, but no need to invent peril. Some statistical projections last night gave us a 95% chance of top 4 now.

Just been on the phone to City and although they advised me to wait until next Tuesday (2nd may) to either renew or cancel for next season, they seemed pretty happy with me wanting to cancel the automatic renewal.
There was no attempt by the staff to keep me active as a matchgoer.
Could be coincidental but maybe the club don't want the regulars who don't spend at the club shop, stay in hotels, fly to the matches and so on.
They might want us out, creating spaces for the tourists who will fly with Etihad airways to MCR and stay in an hotel in the city centre for a match.... Guarantee ADUG will own a few hotels in the area soon.

Sadly your loyalty isn't in their interests anymore. They know whoever doesn't renew, they can fill that seat these days from further afield. The club's customer service used to have a personal feel to it, that's been lost since they started selling it off to agencies. Many times I used to get problems resolved over the phone, regarding ticket relocations, ticket postage, booking fees. Now you can't ask for a menial task to be carried out over the phone without becoming involved in an altercation, or a kid on the other end using technology as an excuse.

Does anybody know what the waiting list number is now? A friend of mine wants to get his season ticket back after stopping it due to work.

Your statistics and percentages are not worth a wank fella. If Arsenal win their game in hand, 3 points separate positions 3-6 =4 Teams.
I suppose you were one of the ones who thought we'd roll over Arsenal last week?
 
It is weird how it is changing,take last night for example,after we had some chippy tea we made our way to "west reception" to see what was happening,and to wait for team to arrive.

There was two Chinese (maybe) guys stood inside the perimeter,near the kids who form a guard of honour for the team coming off the bus,both at least in their 30's,all gear on,with the mobiles at the ready,yet just 10 feet away over their shoulders was Joe Corrigan,talking about past derbies,and how much it was always for the fans,now don't get me wrong,I'm all for new support,but these 2 guys wouldn't have had a clue who the fuck he was in all honesty,and I'm like thinking,wow,they are stood there so close,and I'm behind a barrier having spent fucking fortunes over the years,it just pisses me off...........sorry rant over

And if we win our game in hand we're 3rd and 2 points clear of Liverpool...what's your point?

Arsenal are not going to beat Tottenham. They'll probably not beat United either. Frankly, Southampton will be a struggle for them. They don't have a chance of getting top 4 which is why they are 1/7 to finish 5th or lower by the bookies, while we are 7/1.

I couldn't give a flying fuck what Paddy power says. You seem obsessed with odds,percentages and statistics.
If you can't see there are FOUR teams fighting for 2 places, then you are clearly deluded.

I am assuming the odds don't take into account how all the four teams this season are complete bottlers and it's impossible to know when any of them will turn up for a game.
 
Iv had the email about renewals
just had a card for me and the lad through the post
"great fans inspire great moments " on the front of it.
