Ever Blue

Why can't they increase profits doing fan friendly things and maximising MCFC's revenue.

City Square, expand this concept so they can cater for more people, make the prices attractive enough to get people down there early.

Corporate Hospitality, again price accordingly so it sells out every game, I'm not going pay £150 for a Pie, Pint and comfy seat, make it £75 and I might take potential customers there, and we'd probably end up spending more on booze and extra anyway.

Get the catering and the bars right, get people in earlier, if it was £2/£2.50 a pint with quick efficient service they'd sell an awful lot more.

Expand capacity, price it right and sell out 60K each game.

Play the EDS games (when possible) at the weekend (Sat or Sun) and make it a couple of quid (or free) for season ticket holders or £5 for none season ticket holders. These would be good for the more casual fan who want to watch a reasonable level of football. I think this is what they'll be aiming for with the new training ground and little stadium anyway.

If they want to ring every penny out of fans, I hate to say it, but it needs to be out of the new tourist fans who will buy up the merchandise, pay for the stadium tour, pay for the "Kippax" corporate experience. But they can't do it at the expense of normal fans, they need to keep the strong local fanbase.
 
Also, will this not create ill feeling with those you're sat next to ? If you get shifted from your seat - rewarded or not !

I thought this. If someone wants to move they will have to contact the club. The supporter will know who will be asked to move, then if that fan says no it could cause tension. I font like this idea at all.
 
What if someone wants my seat I will gladly accept a free season ticket elsewhere but what will happen to my sister who is a child will she get a free one as well?
 
This is just like a rugby based debenture scheme for building a new stadium. Also used for the new Wembley for the seats that are always empty!! I think following city from 1963 onwards qualifies me already!
 
Just received the survey and this was my reply...

Being a season ticket for over half my life, I feel the current system is fine. The club obviously needs to continue to improve revenue though due to FFPR but I feel this is the wrong route. The club should maybe increase season ticket prices by a £100 -£150 but throw in all home cup games which would guarantee large cup crowds. This is fundamentally a working class club for loyal fans, please don't exclude us in this clubs wonderful future.

They will be studying this thread and I think I have covered this in my response on the survey. I have been forever blue since 1987 why would I want to pay more to prove that I am.
Same here!

Read the first two pages and saw that some are wrong in what is being asked in the survey. If others have corrected them in the next 15 pages I apologise.

The survey does not say people will be shunted out of a seat. It actually says people will be asked if they would consider moving so someone else could have the seat. You can refuse and stay in your seat. If you agree to move you will be compensated.

The survey asked what compensation you would want. One idea was tickets to all away games, that would save someone over £600. Other comp was maybe a free season ticket that season.

You do not have to buy Ever Blue also just like you now do not have to buy platinum.

It is ideas that should be considered and for the fans to be involved beats anything being imposed.

The idea of buying a seat for life is good, the cost will be the issue. Figures like £600 are detailed, paid in 4 sums over the year. Quite expensive.
