[Official Site] Reds Provide 19/20 Seasonal Offers

Sorry, I didn't realise that's what you were asking. I'm certain we can because it's obvious that a season ticket holder can't attend the same match as two different people. In your kid's case, I think you'd have to explain the situation to the club otherwise I'd think you'd be automatically issued with an under 12s one. If you could prove he's turned 12 recently I think they'd swap it for you. I very much doubt you can use it for cup games because isn't the income split between both clubs? The other club might not like all free tickets being used for that.

 

Oh, I don't know about that. I usually go as Ann Optimist and come back as Dana Genn.

 

They have his date of birth on file and I had to provide proof when he got his first st, he will automatically go into the next (u17 as was) category. Just wondered about the tickets.

To be fair if we get them I’d likely use them on one of his younger sisters anyway if, as you fairly summise, cup games aren’t on the available list for use.

Lastly (given you’ve engaged in responding, thank you), is it four games to use over the two seasons? I’d read it that way, but I’ve also seen someone suggest four games in each of the next two seasons.

 

We have been bought by a private equity investment group
Mr Conway came up with a project and pushed it out to potential investors
they raised X amount ( fixed )of cash or loan between themselves that they would need for that project
they may have held a bit back for emergency's from the initial amount,
but there will be no more new money.
indeed some of the investors may not have any more money to give
they then bought a club with that money
one that they could afford with that amount of money

A private equity funds "Only" purpose is make money for those investors
No other reason.
the people in that group may or may not know each other or have interest in football at all
its just a investment like bonds whatever
that is Conway's job from what we can gather he managers and starts raises cash for projects.
No risk at all really to himself although they sometimes use there own money as well to prove they believe in said project.
he will do whatever it takes to make money for those investors and also after they have sold up he gets around 10 % of the final amount
A projects maximum life is 5 years in only incredible rare circumstances will it go past that.

5 years is not a long term and they will have to make decisions based on that.
Conway will have no emotions whatsoever towards the club when making those decisions.
only to the investors


So yes the points you make are true
but that is not why they are actually doing it.
the less you have to put in equals more you will eventually end up with.
spending money would be counterproductive to the purpose of the investment.
and as said it may be money some of them do not have.

throwing money at a football club has been shown not to be a good way of making money.
it nearly always ends up with losing huge amounts.
football fans are loyal usual to the death that is why they make good customers and will very rarely turn there back on the club
as posts on here have shown.

As another poster said propping up a private equity group so they can sell that project and walk away with a profit is the sort of thing Disney would come up with.
hilarious but completely absurd both at the same time.

Some people here have total contempt for what they are doing
and its also clear a lot of people are fine with it as long as they have a club to go at the end of the day
which obviously they will use to there advantage.

Unless there is some sort of agreement or whole sale bail out of the EFL from the government or a deferral of the TV and sponsorship money.
its looking very grim for a huge number of clubs

Barnsley unfortunately will be at the top of the list to go under.
based on they will 100 % refuse to put money in to stop that happening.

 

Bear with us matey. All will become clear in the next day or so.

 

It's looking like I'll donate the tickets. I think I will be renewing so I'll have no need for a flexi ticket.

 

The details of the new season ticket offer will be interesting.

 

Pretty sure it’s 4 games in total but two seasons in which to use them.

 

A couple of questions that would make a difference and I've no idea if they've been answered but can the Flexi ticket be used for ALL games including cups and friendlies?
What does it mean by 20/21 and 21/22 season? If the 20/21 is behind closed doors too would the ticket be valid for 2 further seasons?

To be honest a little over my head that mate.
I can only speak in layman’s language. Do I believe they are in it to make money in the long run. Absolutely. Do I want to see that happen definitely no. Do I believe they’ve lied on their intentions. Only time will tell.
Interesting to hear a little clearer on why we will be on the Top of the list to go under. I don’t pretend to know the business aspects. Of how it works.
Your last 2/3 paragraphs leave me a little confused to be honest.
If as you say some have contempt for the reasons you give. They’re not the reasons I have issue with. ( and would not be in a position to argue the point.)
I no longer want this board in place than any other person. Maybe some see it in another light. (The way I put my views over seen as a defence of the board.) But nothing could be further from the truth. I also want em out if a viable and better proposition for the club came to the fore. If and when that happens only time will tell.

 

Surely the 4 game flexi ticket is for cup games, hence why it can be used over 2 seasons - FA & league cups, minimum of 1 game per season. If it were to be transferable that’d be an added bonus I guess, from fans point of view at least..

Just thought I’d post this,

you can give your money to the club and get a 9 game digital ticket of get a credit with no 9 game pass.

we’ve done more than ok I think.

 

Wish we did that to give it a TV coverage feel....

• A Robins TV live streaming pass to watch the remaining nine scheduled behind closed doors Sky Bet Championship games on our new digital platform with an hour-long build-up programme, half-time and full-time analysis* (value of £90)

 

They aren’t tied into ifollow.

But I can assure you we will endeavour to do our very best with the channels/platform we have.

 

I posted the Bristol thing as I thought they were getting a bad deal, especially compared to our club.

hopefully most feel the same way and see our club as trying it’s best

 

I know you did mate.

We've done our homework on the entire division and tried to make sure there isn't a better option than ours, be that for these remaining games of this season or pricing of our season tickets for next term. I think it's the best we could do.

It's over to the players/staff now to pull off the greatest of escape acts. I wouldn't bet against them.

 

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
