How can bfc justify charging top of the league prices

And offering conference facilities?

 

I agree our prices are crap but conference facilities? Yeah the new scoreboard looks a bit of a disappointment but what else is conference?

 

Ffs give it a rest. Seasons not even started.

 

The signage in the stadium is from 1993 with red paint over it. The walls are unpainted breeze blocks with water and mould on them, the west stand bogs...

 

And they've already set their stall out as an amateur outfit doing things on the cheap.

Sorry but I don't care if the season has started, ended or is waiting to start. Stated their intention to match the top teams for prices, they should offer the same facilities. You wouldn't pay cineworld prices at the parkway cinema. You wouldn't pay jaguar prices to hire a Micra. Why is it acceptable to charge the same but offer significantly less here?

 

It's like pre-season friendlies at the minute.... a few practice moans first, then as the season gets nearer it goes up a gear each week until full moan fitness is achieved then WALLOP, bring on the pigeon ****

 

SuperTyke doesn't need any practice.

 

Nope. BFC's shoddy half arsed, amateurish corner shop approach to customer service has provided me with plenty of practice for years.

 

I've never been a fan of NFC. Amateurs.

He's got a point though, why are we so bad at off the pitch stuff? If I went to a restaurant and all the menus were tatty and the tableclothes ripped I wouldn't be impressed. It doesn't affect the quality of the food but I probably wouldn't go back. If I went to a cinema and the paint was peeling off the walls and the seats were dirty I probably wouldn't go back even though the film would still be the same. The surroundings and services do matter, especially when we are being charged the prices that we are.

We still have old Admiral signs that are (badly) painted over.
The concourses look like building sites (and terrify me with the massive spiders amongst all the cobwebs in the roof and walls in the toilets)
We sell out of food before half time
We sell out of shirts before the Open Day (an Open Day that we offer suggestions for and get the same old things every year)
People compain constantly about dirty seats but nothing gets done

It must be someone's job to look after the non-football stuff right, so why are they so bad at it? Is it lack of effort/caring, funding or what? Or is it simply that we don't actually have anyone whose job it is so no-one bothers and we troop along with everything steadily declining each year.

 

It's a poor worker who blames his tools, amateurish even!

 

Some would say it's conference standard

 

But they are legendary. And to be fair, I think they have a roof now. or a door. Or sommat new*,

*May have happened years ago

 

It's a poor worker who blames his fools.

Edit: Sorry, tools. Bloody keyboard

 

Yer barmy, old bugger!
'Like'

 

100% correct JM.

 

I couldn't possibly comment!

 

If you want to see how to run a professional football club we should take a look at Huddersfield Town. Service and facilities second to none. Cue the support Huddersfield Town then comments. I have supported the Reds for 40 years and will continue to do so but the fact is we get more wrong than right.

 

I think they're all fair points, JD, and it wouldn't take a great deal of effort or money to put these things in place.
