First of all this is not a general just having a go at you before you say it is.


What is the actual purpose of it? You have went last year and told them a price increase was too much, they came back to you with some spreadsheets saying why the rely on gate receipts.

Why heading into a season when the EFL is going to be receiving more cash does the club need to raise the ST prices across the board and move the deadline even further foward.

The question I am asking here is who do you serve? The fans or the club? As far as I can see this is very one way relationship and you are better of not turning up.

Unless you were consulted on this and gave it a green light?
 
Does he really have to explain himself?

It`s not going to achieve anything other than a barrage of questions fired at Rob, that`ll probably end in a few sly insults

The club raised the prices, not because Rob gave them the green light. The club would have been well aware that a rise would be controversial and there`ll be a reason behind the short Early Bird phase.

No-one, including Rob could have stopped this, so imo the finger and questions need to be pointed elsewhere.

The Premier League has NOT yet agreed the financial increase to the EFL - surprise, surprise they are stalling on it. Their members are looking to protect their interests and load ever more advantage on relegated parachute teams. Talks are reportedly at stalemate, I believe Boro receive just £8m at present. Leicester, Leeds and Southampton each received over £100m!!
 
Last year it was promised that the msf and fans would be consulted and reasons if SC prices were going up that them reasons would be explained, well i received my renewel today and its gone up and the date has yet again got earlier. Where was the consultation? And where are the reasons for it going up? Yes nowhere because its all lies to try and keep people onside.

How much did we receive after we were relegated?

Our problem was that we wasted it.
 
OK I'll say it again;

Did Steve Gibson ring you to come up with some absolute waffle to distract from the season ticket increase?

You've ignored the questions about MSF supposedly being informed before hand and hence i have said 'you were saying you hope RF rejoin MSF'. Why would they when its clear the club couldn't give 2 **** about the members and just use you when they want you.
 
Nah he d

Oh am with you. Not received any phone calls, no.
I thought Steve Gibson spoke with Red Faction last week as well as the Supporters Forum - I expressed my opinion at the forum meeting that not everyone could afford season card prices.
 
He did, I have no idea what they spoke about as wasn't there and I'm not a member.

So did he tell you they were going to be raising them again?
 
These fan forums with the club are a waste of time. The club do what they want anyway, despite what's gets brought up.

And don't get me started on the RF meet up with Gibson, Scott and Carrick. It was all kept hush hush. Does the club forget there is 26000 other fans who attend the games some who have been going over 50 / 60 years. Who's voices never seem to get heard.

I think most people know that although they're not a total waste of time; small issues will get dealt with so there is a point to them.

There aren't 26k people who have been going over 50/60 years. I realise you're not expressing yourself well but it debases the argument you're making.

I'm wondering where I said 26k have been going over 50/60 years?

Like I said, who do you represent? The replies here sound to me alot like you serve the club and if they tell you the sky is falling you put your hands up to try and hold it
