Red faction statement.. ticket prices

Have to keep Steve happy, dont want him getting angry and all that.

Didnt think anything else would come from such meetings, but very disappointed in RF just lifting up the rug as Gibson brushes the proverbial dust underneath it.
Roll on this all again next season.

So disappointed by this. Backed right down. All that goodwill and support from the wider fan base down the pan.

 

[Boro.Fur]

They've got nothing to apologise for when it comes to ticket prices.

Gibson is sticking to his guns so let's see where things stand come the end of March.

Well done to the RF for forcing his hand and getting a meeting arranged, however I can't believe all fan groups have just rolled over and accepted the current ST prices and adult walk ups will not be changed.

That's genuinely disappointing. I guess it's more about keeping yourself in the clique than standing up for what's right.

 

[ForssAwakens]

They didn’t want to hold him accountable like last week then

 

[MikeSkinner]

Sure the original statement from RF said if nothing develops then further protests will happen?

 

[atypical_boro]

All fans can of course choose not to renew/go etc as a means of protesting. The responsibility doesn’t all fall on RF, even if they have rolled over and had their tummies tickled a little bit here.

They've been 'Gibsoned'.

Now they're part of the clique it doesn't make sense to rock the boat.

Seen from the PD Ports meetings, he doesnt like people going against him. Angry man he is.

It's gutting to say this, but I will not be renewing. It's purely out of principle as this culture of milking the fans has to stop.

We are the club. Supporting our team should be affordable.

TBF Gibson is good at this stuff. He was always going to throw a bone of some description, knowing it would keep most people quiet.

everyone has to make their own judgement on this. Fair play to you.

Cannot say I'm not surprised. RF made an effort for us, the fans, got a little leeway but did what they could. Well done RF from me. This debacle and the current form will see a very big difference in both ST and walks up I think.

 

[Duffman]

I think the number of renewals at the end of early bird compared to last season will make interesting reading. Will the vast majority renew out of habit / loyalty or will they lose a significant number (5,000). We will know in about 4 weeks.

I think you’re right.

Why was the protest cancelled though?

Thank you

Sadly I doubt it will make any difference at all. Even if gate numbers dropped by 5k next season I think he'd be too stubborn to lower prices to entice fans back.

Next home game 3rd March, will they have something planned, I don't know.

Possibly. But the pressure would then be on for the team to deliver results. TBF, winning/good football will always sell more tickets.

Changed their stance haven't they. Must have been told be as disruptive as you want but no further changes will be happening with regards to ticketing so don't waste your time or energy lads
