| Be like me and a few others and dont buy any game tickets - wait and see if there are any freebies about, with the way the team and performance has been the last few seasons there have been plenty freebies.. I have kept my money in my pocket and if I choose I can have cheaper hospitality. Seems the less you spend the more they revere you. Weird or what  |

| Quote: stayinlondon "Gus has just returned my call and I have always been a staunch supporter of him and su defended him afainst a lot of arguements but he has broken even my faith in him. He has said firmly that if a season ticket holder wants hospitality they will pay the same money as a non season ticket holder. He cannot or will not understand that people who have paid to support this club with season tickets and are probably a hand full of old faithfuls will get no benefit whatsoever.
He has already sold 50 hospitality tickets for sunday and therefore sees no need to discount season ticket holders. However if you can pull out a wad of cash up front for hospitality every game there might be a deal but it would mean attending every game otherwise the deals is no good to you.
I feel he has our money and sees no need to listen to us now.'"
Oh really - probably a careful choice of words. Notice he didn't say 50 for the Legends Lounge. There may be 50 from Selco and other people in boxes but I doubt it is the £40 deal or no deal. |

Why is it a CEO who is trying to build up support for the club is willing to up set his bread and butter fans. Why would a season ticket holder be willing to pay more for a pretty average meal and a free program to someone who will only probabaly attend one match a season. Wake up Gus you are killing this club by having on the road games in Kent, stopping the £10-00 meal, charging season ticket holders 30% more for hospitality and moving away from the Stoop.
I thought long and hard this year about renewing my season ticket I will not be doing much thinking next year, already this year people who have not renewed their season tickets have been offered 2 free tickets to the Widnes game and can get hospitality cheaper. What a way to run a club no wonder the super league clubs have over £50 million worth of debt

I am pleased I am not the only person who finds this treatment of season ticket holders hard to swallow. Like the other poster on here I will think long and hard about buying a season ticket next year, why would I bother there are better deals without one. If we move to Kent I wont have to make any decision I wont be going. It's too far a journey for me, it would write off most of the day.

No.
I really can't understand why anyone would want to defend this guy? He is single handedly destroying all the parts of the club that many "regulars" identified as being key to them supporting the club.....and even now, with this seemingly minor issue,he fails to identify that paying 40 notes for a ticket, some food, a programme and a comfy seat is not worth 40 notes to someone who already has a seat worth a score.
As for 50 in the corporate hospitality already.. ..well done Gus....that 2k of revenue might just cover the months wages of your PA

I got a text request for a chat about my concerns back in November.....I didn't reply as I don't see the point in discussing my concerns with the single biggest concern I have 
Time to realise that the fans are not important to the current Chairman and CEO....800 or so ST holders don't generate anything like the revenue provided by DH.......so long as he owns the club, then idiots like Gus will be allowed to do as they please. |

I am no Gus Mackay apologist, dont like the direction the club is heading and certainly have an uneasy feel about the future.
But lets look at this from another perspective. Lets say the contributors on here represent 50 season tickets, out of the whatever, 500 season tickets sold. Perhaps the remainder ie the majority, are very happy with the way Gus is doing his business and don't feel so incensed that they need to contribute to a forum ? Does that give Gus a mandate going forward ?

He hasn't any mandate....890 ST holders in 2012 is most definitely going to drop this year...2,808 average in his second year, down by 18% from when he joined and clinging to an attendance in Gillingham as proof that Twickenham isn't interested......221 home games in SL and of the 6 that have had less than 2,000 there, 5 are on his watch! |

The only mandate he needs is the man date with DH. If they ever fall out GM is gone.
If things were going forward off the field even we would love him!
