Quote: Dave Lister "Not sure what your point is, the hospitality is an entirely seperate operation. You would be happy with the club making a loss on its hospitality then? For once I can understand where Gus is coming from on this one. As I have said, it might be nice to offer a small discount for season ticket holders but no doubt if they were offered £5 off, people would still be bleating on here about it.

Pleased the club sold it out last week, fingers crossed another high uptake this Sunday. In my experence, the main purpose of hospiality is to entertain those who need to be entertained for the benefit of the club and current season ticket holders don't fall into that bracket for me.

No doubt there will be those stomping their feet saying that they were being mistreated, but I bought my ticket to gain myself entry to the home matches this year, anything else is completely seperate of this.'"



Am with you Dave. As unfortunate as it is for ST holders.

The club would not be making a loss and it could help it make even more profit. I like a number of others do not feel inclined to pay more for the same service than an away fan pays therefore like them I am not taking up the offer which results in missed sales. An away fan/non season ticket holder pays £40 into the match which includes the hospitality. As season ticket holders we are being asked to pay £40 plus the cost of the season ticket. I have no problem paying the difference between the cost of the season ticket and the £40 which means I have paid the same as an away fan / non season ticket holder but I will not pay more than them. It is totally unfair to expect home fans to pay more than away fans.

then you're both wrong IMO and in the eyes of most other fans as well........ST holders are worth more than the away fans......it beggars belief that anyone would think expecting a STicketed supporter of the club to pay the MORE THAN an a away day fan is reasonable d040.gif

Gus clearly intends to 'sell' this to away fans. Move along now there is nothing for season ticket holders here!

Surely the profit to the club is £40 - match ticket (value £20) - costs of hospitality?

For season ticket holders, wouldn't precisely the same margin be returned by £20 - costs of hospitality?

I must have missed something?

Think of it as how we all get stuffed by the banks and the interest rates they offer on savings.........if you have saved with them for years and been loyal, they offer you the minimum rate and two fingers, if you are a new saver they offer you a similar rate but with an introductory bonus.

In LB`s case, loyal fan icon_sad.gif , away/curious fan icon_biggrin.gif ..........no doubt the person who put the LB scheme in place is a banker (edit as required).

'its all about the brand it's all about the brand' 'Harlequins was the wrong brand it gave off the wrong image'
'We have to move east as west london is not perceived as a RL hotbed.'

Then the club does this, which basically gives the impression of saying F U season ticket holders as it sell the boxes in the home stand to away fans at £40 for entry and ents and £60 for entry and ents to long term season ticket holders.

That's why this is a problem.

I would argue this with you, current season ticket holders need entertaining as much as any new fans as they have not been entertained for the last few seasons. There has been nothing going on either on or off the pitch for a long time. I also believe like other posters on here season ticket holders should be treated as fairly as occassional fans and away fans . Financially you are better off attending games without a season ticket it is cheaper for hospitality and there are usually numerous freebies thorughout the year. Why give your money to the club in advance when you may not be able to attend every game and there is no other benefit and no incentive to feel part of a club.

Last year, Gus stressed to the core support (attending the Game 1 Fans Forum) how much the club would rely on them to bring along potential new supporters. This may explain why he didn't employ any other methods to attract a crowd. However, now he seems happy to exclude them from this process.

Legends Lounge shouldn't just be a cheap day out for away fans. If should also be aimed at those who want to bring potential new fans to the game.

it's easier for him to offer a commission to the away ticket office on all 40 quid tickets sold and let THEM market t to their fans han it is to actually earn aliving....it's a ing joke....but one that will eventually come unstuck

Well his #1 priority is to find us a new ground. I suppose the smaller the crowd is, the easier his task will be.

There have been no signs so far that anything is coming unstuck for Gus personally. There are no indications from what we can see that the 'board' are unhappy with any of this nonsense.
