Taken from oneBoro…


For info, the meeting tonight was MSF + Red Faction + Steve + Neil Bausor + other club reps. It was a passionate meeting with lots of views aired.

There will be a likely joint statement from the club and MSF tomorrow (or latest Thurs) But essentially some concessions were agreed with the club, and they have agreed to better inclusion of MSF in the decision making for deadlines and wording of renewal emails in future. The club held their hands up to the misstep regarding the short early bird deadline.

The RF did not want to be part of the above mentioned statement as they want to go back to their group and have a vote on the planned walk out on Saturday (and i guess release their own statement). Personally I hope they don't do the walk out as I can't see anything positive coming from it. I know there were a couple of non-RF members who were at the meeting who were all in favour of the walk out prior to tonight, but after the discussions with the club and hearing from Steve, were no longer in favour of it.

Sounds like a Mickey take to me

The club are going to get fans to write communications to themselves??

Dead simple, regardless of MFC mitigation for the year on year increases, how do we have THE most expensive ST's in the entire division and the highest walk-up prices?...whilst now having a plan to buy low and sell high?
Gibson will be doing all he can to sidetrack an embarassing protest on Saturday - I don't imagine he's the kind of bloke who'd take kindly to that.
Don't be fooled...

As I’ve said on other threads, I’m massively against the rises, but to say we have the most expensive tickets in the league in simply not true. Not doubt we are up there, but there are only 4 clubs in the championship who have even announced their prices for next season, and we’ve got cheaper starting prices for standard adult tickets than atleast 1 of those.

Which team?

*Edit* - Just checked and I assume you mean Norwich who were marginally more expensive than us last season and are still slightly more expensive for an entry adult ticket. We've overtaken Sheff Wed this season.

And it really depends what you look at. An entry level adult season ticket renewal is £30 more expensive and a new applicant is £15 more expensive. However Boro are

£68 more for U12s
£10 more for U18s
£75 more for 18-21
£21 more for Over 65s
£57 more for Over 75s

Sheff Wed and Norwich were the two teams who were more expensive than us last season and weve overtaken one of them. And we are slightly behind the other for an entry adult but more expensive in every concession category.

There seems to be at best a complete mistrust of Steve Gibson on here and at worst something approaching a severe dislike. The increase in prices and comparable cost versus other Champuonship clubs is certainly unwelcome and appears excessive but almost the poorest aspects were the original attempt to bring forward the closing date along with a lack of explanation or justification of the increase, which had always been present in previous years.

We've seen how Gibson acts at "meetings" No wonder there is distrust
