davenportram Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 PG didn't boost ticket prices,neither did he take over.Six individuals with equal shareholdings took over and any decisions would have been collective,as no one member could possibly force anything through on his own. In fairness to the LOG,they took over a run down squad and invested their own cash to meet the capital cost of rebuilding.All they asked in return was that fans made an extra contribution to help fund wages and other running costs,in exchange for better on field performances.I think a promotion season was a fair reward Okay I'll rephrase it to LOG boosted ticket prices. And yes they needed the extra funds to purchase players etc, but they boosted them by more than 10% in a lot of areas and made no seats cheaper. Yet when the current board, highlighting the need to balance the books for FFP and have swallowed the inflation and VAT rises (and drops) do the same and reduce by less than them they get villified. I know the wage bill went up becuase of the spending that happend in that January, but still even without that there would have been need to reduce if a return to the prem didnt happen straight away. And the argument that the LOG had the right to do it because they put their own money in - what is the current running total of investment into the club from the current ownership? They have put money in too. The fact the club didnt spin the positive about recategorization, making some seats cheaper again, says a lot to me. They, for once, highlighted the negatives of the deal with hardly mentioning the positives. 10% to some will be a lot I know, for me it works out to be less than £3 per game.

ramesses Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not for renewals it wasnt which is what the claim about no price rises is about. Yes and, for the fourth time, that’s not what my original post was about. So far In this little exchange you’ve been angry, patronising, and questioned my honesty. Don’t you like me?

My post merely corrected something you said and defended the LOG's decision to increase prices,on the back of some pretty hefty(for one season) investment in players on their part.I made no reference whatsoever to the current regime in my post. However,as you mentioned certain issues,I'll reply to same in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that lot cost me £2.75p in the shop but we got £3 off ST renewal price because we bought cup tickets this season. So in all it cost me nowt on top of ST price. Bargain I say.
