Quote: 4everaviking "free admission to gateshead game.
yet again another slap in the face for paying season ticket holders.
its shocking when part time fans get treated better than the loyal ones that keeps the club going. its shocking, what is the point in having a season ticket when i can just wait for discounted and free tickets.
Another pointless exercise by the club what is this going to achieve, a big attendance for one game only then all the part time fans will disappear again.
its nothing short of a joke I'm fumin, loyality counts for nothing with this club not a thing.
They can shove their season ticket where the sun does not shine'"
When that happens at our club I think "this is a great marketting initiative and if they give away 100 free tickets and only a handfull of those like the game so much they come back later and pay, then its been an absolute success".
I am a season ticket holder, but on the last "giveaway" i went and got a couple of free tickets and took friends who havent been to our game. Okay they havent come back and paid, but the initiative is correct.
I understand your frustrations, but surely if you are a true fan you want to see your club succeed and grow, so you shouldnt complain when they do these sorts of initiative, you should get behind your club.
After all you do get a discount on next years season ticket, but it sounds like you are not going to be buying one?
