Season tickets next season - what will they do?

[pauliewalnuts]

The whole club is giving up, downsizing and hunkering down for life in the lower leagues. I actually find this incredible. But mainly sickening.   

That's exactly my take on it.

Gave up on the premier league in January, given up on even trying to attract decent crowds next season, pissing off people who have paid top dollar for years (in several cases) by making them move.

Every single thing about this football club is depressing as fuck and screams "stopped trying".

They're winding the club down. Start well in the Championship and we could attract some big crowds. We certainly will in our derby games. If we're top of the league, we will sell the place out.

It seems that Lerner's actual aim is to make is some piss pot mid-table third division outfit.

"Nobody could be worse than that snake Ellis" - well I guess we were wrong.

Not content with making the club smaller they now want to make the ground smaller too.

Our history shows that we'll get behind a team heading in the right direction, regardless of what division they occupy.

This is yet another example that the club has given up.

Perhaps this was Lerner's idea? 'Oh, just close off some of the ground, we rarely sell out anyway.' Has he any idea what kind of message this sends out?

It's yet another reason why we can never compare ourselves to Newcastle as far as bouncing back is concerned. This would never happen there in a million years.

Lerner is cancerous, he needs to be cut out.

I've nothing rational to add to this discussion that hasnt already been said, other than I dispise these wankers in charge of our club.

Also shows there is no pending sale of the club - why would you close part of the ground if you were about to sell.

Shocking news - the last 24 hours have been horrendous

Agree entirely.

The ridiculous thing is, we clearly haven't reached the bottom of this plummet either.

Can anybody else recall this happening at a club, where the owner was a complete virus corroding everything from within and simply giving up?

Hi , just joined the forum and I thought I'd let you know that I've received a similar letter about my Season Ticket in the North Stand. Basically the back 7 rows of the Lower North are being removed for extra wheelchair places. I've been offered a £35 sweetener to take another seat.

Although we haven't seen the detail yet with regard to prices,marketing and ambition for next season,it appears that like the last 5 seasons,it'll be done in a lowering expectations,meddling way.

Clubs like Huddersfield,Wigan,Bradford are all restructuring their pricing,all seeking new committed supporters.As Malcom remarks indicate,the pricing has to be right next year,especially with regard to concessions and the long standing loyalty of many.

One thing I always imagined when Lerner brought us,was that the club would be marketed with panache and vigour,it now seems like every move is a purely reactive one,and we are constantly fire fighting.

I seriously hope we do not seek to recover as much income as possible off the suffering faithful.

I'm all for extra wheelchair spaces but am also sorry you are having to be moved

Just turn up in a wheelchair.

Is that a joke?

When we first had Acorns on our shirts, myself and most other Villans thought it was a fine benevolent gesture. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that it was a cynical PR move to make up for the fact that we had not secured a shirt sponsor. It would certainly fit the pattern of sheer chaos, neglect and duplicity that has become Lerner's trademark.

Wheelchair space at the back of the lower north.... which spends most of the game stood up.

Moving my seat , or the turning up in a wheelchair?
