Screen grabbed all the questions. Will post them later on.

BTW.

Somebody stated their survey stated a date/year when the stadium would be expanded. Is this correct? Did anyone else have that on their survey. Wasn't mentioned in mine.

Thanks.

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.

Jesus H Christ, I hope there are not many more like you who answered the survey
in that way.
How can you advocate an increase of £100/£150.
Many fans can barely afford the tickets as it is.
Some cannot afford to go to the cup games as well, it's not just the tickets, it's travel,
work and other factors.
To compel fans to buy cup tickets is what the Rags have done, and by doing this they
lost grassroots supporters.
This is somthing we never, never ever want to do.
For the record I subscribe to the Cup scheme, but I think it is an outrage if they force
people to pay.

In my response in the comments section of the survey I made the point that seasoncard holders were potentially open to abuse or outright intimidation. If you are sat next to a group that wants their best mate / cherished family member to join them and you refuse to move you still have to sit near them game after game. Unfortunately not all City supporters are normal & reasonable members of society.

That's what I initially thought - but the seats they're looking to move ordinary Blues out of will then be occupied by Corporate, Guests etc. I think people sitting in the East Stand Level 2 need to begin watching their backs!

This is the price of success, you want to stay as little city?

I expect to pay a top price for a premium product, having followed city for over 40 years I am now experiencing the best football I have ever seen. They are now giving lifelong fans a chance to secure a seat for life and beyond before all the new 'plastic' fans arrive.......what's the problem?

Suppose the lifelong fans can't afford it, is it just tough shit.
Don't you think these fans, who have supported the club through the bad times
deserve a bit of looking after and not ramroaded into schemes dreamed up but
fuckers who just want to screw them for as much as they can.
Acting like the fucking Banks.

The plastic fans have arrived. I'm noticing them more and more. Excessive gimmicks are everywhere now.

Seasoncards are rapidly becoming unaffordable for the ordinary person. That's the problem. If you're not even remotely concerned then you've got too much money.

New 3rd Tiers in operation for 2015/16. Season tickets for this area will be offered this season. Prices from £380-£570.

Option to buy now is a gamble as I might drop dead in the next 2 years but if I buy now I can get row A seats which will be pretty good before the uprooted Level 2 folk arrive in a foul mood!

I may have been dreaming but last the time I checked we were Champions. 13th May seems to ring a bell.

Borussia Dortmund were Bundesliga Champions last season and are going great guns in the Champions League. Somehow I don't think their fans will be looking at £600 for a season ticket there.
