I am aware of the concept of marketing. I have also had texts, emails and a letter in the post so it would be difficult to be unaware of it. My point is that if the waiting list was doing well, there would not be the need for phone calls as well; at least not until the take up rate had slowed to a trickle.CC1 said:west didsblue said:Had a phone call from the ticket office this morning asking if I had family that wanted to go on the list.

I think it's called 'marketing'!! Have you heard the scum continually advertising on their Talksport station? It's embarrassing. Rather the club's sales people did their work on the phone

Stops time wasters and gives them more of a feel for genuine interest

Straight from the horses mouth - Danny Wilson rang me a couple of months ago after I had a little moan about being ousted for corporate types when the proposal was first mentioned. He said as we all sit in the north section of the CB2 then we would only be affected if they build the North stand and that would only happen if there was demand for additional seats (Hence the "£100 waiting list" to gauge serious demand) . Fair play to Danny, he rang me on a Friday night about 7:00pm and was on for 45 minutes explaining everything.
Well I am North side of CB too so maybe not affected. Not sure how they can justify the price rise on one side and not on the other for the same view in the same seat. I accept that you get access to a bar but at least £400 a year for access to a bar seems hefty!

I can see your point but we are expanding and the club wants some commitment from us fans in regards to financial security. When I got that survey 6 month back (I think) about expansion I thought they'd go down this route. It's one thing fans saying they would get a ST and it's another people actually shelling the cash out and putting their money where their mouths are.
It's all down to perspective fella. Just see it as you saving yourself some cash down the line. £100 now before Xmas isn't the best of timing but it's £100 less when the ST's are finally available. I think you suffer from it being an invisible product for £100.

£400 is fairly reasonable in this day and age, 10 years ago at Sunderland they were paying £1200 pa for a Sports Bar membership whilst the 1894 club is over £1000 pa
