So far as I can work out, Gary Rowett has been sacked and replaced by Steve Cotterill because we couldn't get our money back on a late April fools day prank by Sam Rush that meant we couldn't get Richard Keogh to sign a new contract without Johnny Russell having to emigrate.

No. Point one - having to buy your season ticket four months before the season starts to guarantee your seat. No I think that is very wrong. Having to renew that early again to be entitled to the season ticket free next season is wrong as well. The free season ticket offer was phenomenal, probably a co*k up by MM as at the time we looked a more like a relegation team than a promotion team and attendances are down (despite the pathetic attempt at the fans forum to claim otherwise). However as it was not a thought out policy, the details are only coming to light now and it's basically bribing the 22,000 season ticket holds to renew early in the chance of going up. Now I think about 17,000 renewed before the early bird last year. So basically 5000 may not have the money to do it this quickly. So Mel is penalising those individuals by not only taking their seat away but also by not giving them a free ticket after he made this commitment. For me, simple as, you have a season ticket this season, we go up, you should get one next season. We shouldn't be loaning the club money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how about no early bird discount and no free ticket offer, is that fairer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 What's wrong with some fans. The club freeze prices and continue with the substantial early bird discount and still it's something to complain about. If you don't like the offer it's simple - don't take it! Jeez!!!

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The fact Mel dared to offer such an outlandish offer of a free season ticket up on promotion is unforgivable. I am so cross with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
