I will come back for 2nd half , RF are meeting in the fan zone from walk out I believe.Is it walk out and come back or walk out and not return?
Here we go the old Tory spin line of if you can afford something above and beyond food, energy, and your council tax then you’re not in poverty.If you have disposable income to buy football tickets after putting a roof over your head etc. you are not living in deprivation.
For what it’s worth I don’t agree with the price rises, and think the prices are too high for what’s on offer.
I was just saying I don’t like the use of poverty as a reason to try and justify lowering the price of what’s essentially a luxury product for people who clearly aren’t in poverty.
Your choice mateIs it walk out and come back or walk out and not return?
Money for nice new directors seats though.It wouldn’t be so bad if some of the money was invested in the stadium. It’s so dated now. There was talk of space heaters not so long back, but nothing ever happened. Then there was a wind turbine to generate electricity. All of these type of things get raised and we are told, usually via Rob, that the club is considering doing something, but nothing ever happens. The Riverside has become a dated, dirty and soulless place, with terrible facilities and next to no supporting infrastructure.
I posted this on the other thread, then realised that it wasn’t this thread
I am sure AET Is grateful for your lift but they are debating like an adult.And it is a debate - differing opinions and views welcome. Topsy turvy view of the world comment is harsh given what AET has shared previously. You don’t need to agree but be kind.And yes that works both ways.
It is expensive but the days of £3.50 for the Holgate are long long gone. This is modern football.We already pay more than most.
Is that the Tory party the chairman endorsed? If so then perhaps something is coming home to roost, as they say, and he’s doing what any Tory would do and is passing his costs onto those lower down the chain.
Just be careful not to cut yourself on all that edge.I won’t be walking out and may even renew my season ticket when they start the walkout.
I haven’t seen a single viable method of the club increasing revenue to help cover costs here, other than get rid of the free pint, which might save £30 a ticketof this was avoidable. The club could have engaged with fans about cost of operating, surveyed season ticket holders, found out how best to cover the cost or at least provide rationale based on feedback.
There have been plenty. Being able to buy the kits in the club shop at Christmas was a particularly easy fix that was touted.I haven’t seen a single viable method of the club increasing revenue to help cover costs here, other than get rid of the free pint, which might save £30 a ticket
That’s unlikely to make much of a dent. The issue is that the club has to have a large lead time and once they’ve been manufactured the club is liable and has to sell any excess at below cost in the summer.There have been plenty.

Complete embarrassment for the Club. I have been right behind this group for years, they do some amazing things for this club. However this is a complete contradiction in supporting your club.
I really don't understand the frustration behind the ticket increases. Supporting a football team is a hobby, something you do in your spare time. It's not like your Council Tax bill, or water rates where they are mandatory outgoings.
If I couldn't afford a ST, I wouldn't go and I'd pick and choose when I could. I wouldn't stamp my feet on the ground and throws the toys out my pram. MFC has to remain a sustainable business to allow us to have a football team to enjoy watching in the first place.
I must say I agree with you wholeheartedly, I understand supporting boro is a way of life but the costs of everything are going up and it’s the same for football.Complete embarrassment for the Club.

But I’m not advocating for £3.50 tickets.It is expensive but the days of £3.50 for the Holgate are long long gone. This is modern football.
I don’t agree with Gibsons stance on supporting the Tories, I think he let himself down on that one. But then I’m sure a lot of those complaining about this price rise voted Tory and brexit both of which have increased household costs. So yes, “coming home to roost” will be applicable to some. I’m sure plenty of “socialism is communism” types are now talking about people power (like a union) and walking out because of capitalism.
