Quote: SKINDRED "One area in which i think the Cougars as a club scored a massive own goal this season was with the season ticket system. We were told that the season tickets were to be the booklet type again. Then all of a sudden passport style tickets not allowing the season tickets to be transferrable to others.
I took a friend of mine to Halifax away this season (hes a football fan) but he loved the game but cant afford to watch both , my point is this .... last night was a classic scenario . My brother , a season ticket holder couldnt make the game , if the ticket was transferable my friend could have gone instead with me , brought his daughter so thats money behind the bar a burger, sweets and pop for the child and another potenetial fan for next season. I have on very good authority that the costing of the tickets was not an issue at the time of manufacturing (although i know certain people at the club tried to use this as an excuse at the time when quizzed by supporters), Its little things like this that can attract extra people through the gate and hopefully become fans of the future.'"
I am a season ticket holder and I couldn't make it on Thursday as I was watching the Happy Mondays in Leeds. I would prefer that all our games were Sunday kick offs to be honest.
I think due to having a photo on your season ticket, it is going to waste if you do not make the game as you cannot give it to someone else to use.
I sent my younger brother down so that my Grandad who I usually go with wasn't on his own and I gave him the entrance fee to attend.
I would prefer it if I could just hand the season ticket out if I can't make it and I support your point that this may generate more fans.
