I’m not sure what’s going on with this area, it’s always got loads of empty seats. Yet if you try and buy tickets on the day they’ll mostly tell you it’s sold out and you need to buy ridiculously priced junior tickets elsewhere.

My guess is that the season tickets are so cheap for the kids that people aren’t bothered about missing games. I think the club need to monitor how often the season cards are actually being used, if not very often then let people on the waiting list who actually want to attend the games have the seats.

It needs sorting out. I've heard of people buying season tickets there for kids too young to attend the games yet just so they know they've got them in a couple if seasons time. They are only doing this because of the shortage
 
Digital tickets cant be transferred if you sit in the GRFZ, to share them you have to go into the ticket office which is a total pain in the @rse (I know it is the case because I attempted to pass mine on when we couldn't go and it was such an @rse on that I wont be doing it again).
Also the lack of zero alcohol options of lagers/beers/ciders in the concourse.
 
OK, a very easy one to fix. Pre-match announcements. We currently get the eleven starters for Boro, NO substitutes and the away team is ignored completely. That is particularly rude, in my opinion, but believe it or not some of us actually want to know who we are facing (and who is on the bench for both sides). It's not too difficult, is it?

The issue with sharing tickets isnt helping. I work shifts as does my son so we take a relative or friend if one of us is working. if they insist on digital ticketing next season and make it hard to transfer tickets we will have to seriously think is it worth it getting STs when we only make say 2/3rds of games each season

I don't think there is a plan to insist.

Could they have selected Boro Pride?

I’m not sure if they could have selected any name at all. I’m guessing the entirety of our LGBTQ+ fan base didn’t select the bame.

Surely it is not for you to take a suggestion.. and just rubbish it because it appears to be another blind spot.

It’s a suggestion, an observation.. mate your shoelaces are untied, your fly is down, you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.. best keep quiet eh?

I will ask them.
 
Just realised I completely got this wrong - next forum meeting is mid October - Oops. At least we asked everyone in very good time.

They picked their name. They like Boro Pride as well but opted for Ranbow Reds by choice. Barnsley now also have this name - so it cannot be so wrong.
Rainbow Reds gave me this reply.

Rainbow Tractors - Ipswich
Rainbow Toffees - Everton
Rainbow Devils - Man Utd
Rainbow Blades - Sheffield
Rainbow Reds - Middlesbrough
Rainbow Reds - Barnsley

Our group should be called Boro Pride.. whoever liked it was correct.

Is the club doing anything to improve the quality of merchandise in the club shop and improve the availability of replica shirts as they is only certain sizes available been like this for seasons. Feel this is an area the club really need to improve on as they is high revenue potential.

Feel scrapping the half season ticket is the wrong move as this is usually the way to secure new season ticket holders.

It's got to be said the quality of the in staidum beer and food is really low quality for the prices charged. It is better quality in the fan zone outside the staidum why can't that not be inside the staidum.

Its definitely easier to hand someone a card than have to set them up an MFC digital account and start moving tickets between wallets.

If you’re standing next to them yeah. If you’re standing further than your mutual combined arms’ lengths away it’s an impossibility.

Which raises a reasonable issue. Those of us who want this extra functionality seem to be left out. How about having our voice heard? I have always said the card preferrers should have the choice not to change. When is the same courtesy of choice finally going to be extended to those who do want the option?
 
Gambling Sponsors on Replica Shirts for U18s - we're not even making shirts available without a sponsor, the sponsor doesn't have a problem with it so there's no reason why we shouldnt have the option. Social Corporate Responsibility.. means acting in a way that is socially responsible. Not just having a policy statement on the website or wearing a t-shirt with a meaningless slogan on it. I do think it is irresponsible of the club, I do think it is immoral and also unlawful. Easiest fix the club could do is offer shirts without a sponsor.
Big win, little effort.. and long overdue.

gambling addicts can now buy our shirts too! yey! and not only can we prevent making the gambling addicts of the future..
but the ones which we have been torturing can now buy our shirts.. whoop. no effort at all either. 'Adults sizes' without sponsors.

Making our Anti Racist stance much more visible. we quickly dipped out of the taking the knee gesture we were applauded by many racists for doing so and we passed the responsibility of this onto Britt Assombalonga we were doing.. other things.. other things behind the scenes. Unfortunately since we have been keeping all our work behind the scenes and behind closed doors racist incidents have been on the increase.

Change out the warm up shirts.. make them more visable and make the message clearer. This could be done very quickly and easily with little effort and at very little cost.
Riversidebyside is not the message.

Hi Rob, please could you ask about bike parking at the Riverside? If a few car parking spaces could be given to a shelter with something to secure bikes too, it would give somewhere for everyone who currently cycles to matches, and it could also encourage more to travel on bikes.

At the moment all we have are lampposts!
