The poor sod has to endure me in P8.

We've already tripled our insurance.

I tell you what, there are people who would not have refused at the frozen price. The price seemed high for me, but we would have renewed. Plenty of others will not, but the £295 offer gives them a good option. If fills areas of the ground that are
traditionally poor selling areas.
Of course it does...but who's to say it wont be at the expense of other more popular
areas?
Fair enough but it has saved me a considerable sum of money. For me and my wallet, it is a master stroke. No argument.

Does that mean you have moved from the Trinity?
Yes. Straight into the stand from the Lions Club.
It ends 31 years in the Trinity for me. I moved there from the Holte in 1981. It was quite a transformation for me and the people we ended up sitting by. 14 pre-match pints then going in the Holte was one thing but the gentry in the old Door D were not impressed.

Ha! I don't think I could down 14 pints. I'd be asleep after 8.

The intention is fine but I see it as a waste of resource to not do a little research and filter the target market.

I am not sure if there any measures on the success of the after sales calls but I know there will be a cost.

Just got my renewal forms through the post [I have renewed mine by moving to P8] My wife and son will not be which is a shame but times are what they are

I have to say though that the mini brochure the club has sent out is first class, they have personalised it really well by adding my family name to the sign on the Trinity Road stand and working out the price for me in a really easy way.

It gets a thumbs up from me
