Declan Rice.
Ended up with Nunes.

We might as well've signed Anneka Rice

You are Viv Nicholson, I have a copy of the Daily Mirror and I claim my £5.

Thought it was Myra Hindley on the Smiths single but it is actually Viv!

1) Minimum 10% 'rebate' to all this seasons Season & Flexi ticket holders by way of a contra against next seasons tickets.

2) Minimum 10% reduction in all non corporate ticket prices for next season.

3) Price freeze on all tickets for the following 3 years.

4) Review all catagories of ticket prices with a view to a simple, transparent,lower priced structure.

We are not a PLC where YoY Revenue and Profit growth are expected to protect/enhance share vslue and dividend payments.

We are a private company with two shareholders.

OK mate, so showing the corporate world year on year increases in profit isn't important then..

Gotcha.

I just want to point out that if Man City would have charged £0 for every single ticket for every single game in every single cup last season for all stands AND the corporate hospitality, then they would have still made a profit.

Mad isn't it, however

If we were shit, won nowt and no Sponsor wanted to touch us no one world wide wanted to watch us we'd lose a fortune.

Mate fully don’t disagree. Don’t live in Manchester any longer, but imagine both clubs contribute a lot to Manchesters finances. Rewarding fans with free public transport or discounts for public parking would be a start.
Same with club, if your gonna charge £70 for a ticket include pie and a pint.
Something that demonstrates we’re not just considered as an income

Good ideas there, free travel on Bee network and Tram for match goers is an excellent idea.

Therefore, it won't be considered!

He’s 22 and he’s only played 7 times this season. Although he played 35 games last year.

That isn't very good is it?

A few players at or from Everton have bad injury records, think I would avoid tbh

 

[ysmsa]

Brighton do this. Free train travel if have match ticket from Eastbourne one side and Worthing the other.

Great, Eastbourne and Worting.
Pensioners using their free travel pass anyway ;-)

Your £1.75m additional profit the club made out of the SC increase doesn't allow for the hike in hospitality prices. So, let's add say £500,000 to that figure, which seems about right.

We increased year on year profit by £2.2m last financial year, which is therefore solely down to the increase levied on supporters.

Big companies will do anything to post year on year increases in profit, any downtrend is frowned upon by the suits.

So, here you go lads, have a tenner on us for a pie and a pint, see you next season for another raid on your hard-earned.

Rinse and repeat suckers.

I agree with you.

Going of your 2.2 million figure being the standard increase. Say we do a freeze for a season and then go back to doin.

That costs the club 2.2 million.

However the club would not agree and would consider it costs 22 million over a 10 year period as they would be down 2.2 million a year.

I work for a company and was sat in a board meeting about increasing wages due to cost of living, which TBF was unscheduled from the usual April raise.

In the end they paid a one of bonus as the cost of upping the wages in Nov and then again in April (which was contractual % increase) cost the company slightly more that year but then saved on the preceding ones.

This is why I do not see it TBH.

Increase on prices and arguably more freebies and some vouchers at best.
