Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
I will also renew... but only because i can, and partly because i remember how bad it really can be and these are the best of times so i have earned the right to love it.Les Lawrence wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 7:19 pmI'm looking forward to renewing my 3 season tickets at early bird prices next year,with the option of paying by direct debit.,to watch the best footballers in the world at Turf Moor.Those the don't want to pay fair enough,just don't moan about a lack of signings,when you kick off because you got to pay an extra £5 a game
I reckon if you could guarantee watching the best footballers in the world at Turf Moor next season, then there wouldn't be an issue with people paying a little extra. But you can't guarantee it because of the lack of investment in the playing staff. For the first time since we were promoted last time, i now fear for our immediate future at this level.
People are struggling to see the correlation between ticket prices and the wages being drawn by players. £350 a season and people reckon that not paying that money up front leads to the club being unable to operate effectively in the transfer market. I think that's utter tripe. That, along with the board failing to understand the constraints the economy is putting on disposable income in these parts only adds to peoples frustrations with the club and it's relationship with the fans. They talked the talk when opening the front door... and although we haven't got to the start line yet, i'm losing confidence. Lose touch with the fans and it's all over.

Yes we may surprise now and again but the continued lack of investment in the playing staff is embarrassing and they still want the same money off us. Be interested what they do if/when we get relegated.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Just going back to the club shop and ticket office being closed...it's odd. I know this has been the trend in previous seasons ahead of a new kit launch, but surely the work can be done between the club shop and ticket office closing today and then opening again the following day? Or am I missing something here? Do high street retail stores work in this way before they launch their clothes ranges for the new season? I don't think they do.
Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Well we won’t be scrapping for points against City. We will simply roll over and get our bellies tickled like we usually do. I will definitely give both City games a miss and do something productive instead.Top Claret wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 8:08 pmDaft sod..

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Good points. Retailers like Next work late into the evening to prepare their seasonal sales. Quite simply we are commercially inept, even with our new supposedly savvy American owners at the helm.leelad wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 8:12 pmJust going back to the club shop and ticket office being closed...it's odd.

Couldn’t agree more with this. Totally bizarre strategy.DCWat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 1:45 pmClosing the store to prepare for a kit launch!?
Dressing a mannequin in the kit, popping up some new visuals in the store and logging the stock / barcodes shouldn’t result in the closure of the store.
Most work could be done behind the scenes and the ‘front of house’ stuff done between closing the previous day and opening the next.
It’s perhaps not a huge deal, but it’s not exactly professional. There’s a long way to go for us in a number of off the field areas.

Yes we are the only ones who are consistently beaten by the customary 5 goals each time we play them. So much so that it is becoming a joke. Even the bookies offer poor odds for us losing by 5 goals against City.

Chin up sure other clubs get beat by the same amount of the other top 6 clubs. Hopefully Dyche will put a stop to the joke this season.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
Do people actually think that by increasing ticket prices by £5/10 this will help us pay millions of pounds for new and better players?
How many season ticket holders are there? About 13/14k? So if you bump prices up by an extra fiver and have say 5k walk ons every prem game, that’s an extra £475k for 19 prem games and bumping it up a tenner that’s £950k for 19 prem games per season.
I know it’s all extra money for the club but I’m sure that money could be generated through other avenues other than increasing prices for supporters

The numbers you quote will help pay the directors wages that they now take. But if course this is the direction fans wanted.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
No going back now. You are just a customer for Mr Pace and crew to make money out of. From what I can see, the new broom is sweeping out people who know the ethos of the club. Loyalty and tradition? That chapter seems to be closed now. Welcome to the world of corporate sport, the Premier League.

I’m only 23. Was a season ticket holder from 2005 to 2019 and I can certainly say I won’t be going on much, if at all, this season. Much rather go and watch non-league football.

Not really a great leap forward.

But no I have decided not to renew my season ticket and just watch on tv.
Why not register on the bluemoon forum, they have just spent 100m on 1 player, play really good football and it is free for you. If you think I believe for 1 minute you held a season ticket for 10 years+ but have given up now then I think you tell bigger porkies than I thought.
Your outlook on life will improve dramatically watching amazing football, spending 1 Billion pounds in the last 5-6 seasons, winning games and trophies. Just change clubs and channels, make yourself happy and not cry and upset yourself through each transfer window.

Re: Club shop and ticket office closed
No, the “direction the fans wanted” was for one of our greatest ever managers not to leave the football club. Which is what would have happened if Garlick stayed. To infer that fans wanted prices to pay for “directors wages” (which is total conjecture anyway) is disingenuous to say the very least. Awful mindset.RammyClaret61 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 12:08 amReading this, it does sound like Stan was right. Burnley fans want champagne football for beer money.

I think there is a misconception, I don’t want us to spend 100m on one player or win trophies (I would love it if we could). I just want us to be competitive in the market and as a result improve our style.
Look at the football we were playing 3-4 seasons ago it was immense.
I am also not a fan of the takeover but I think I have given pretty justified reasons why.
You obviously have a problem with me for some reason. If you don’t like it just don’t reply. I am not directing any of it towards you.

I'm amazed at how vociferous a few people are and how much negativity they portray about the club and yet admittedly don't go to any games.
I find it very strange indeed.
