They’re not taking the ****, they’re trying to drum up as much revenue as they can to get promotion

he isn’t asking any of you to put 1m per month into the club

I get that people are skint right now, but his job is to get Boro up not make sure everyone that wants to go, can afford to go.

Just last year we were all informed of the club wanting to go in a new direction and become more self sufficient. We have seen evidence of that and we’ve made more from player sales recently than we ever have. However, how many managers have we had to pay off in the last 10 years? One way of looking at it is that our ticket prices are so high because we are having to pay for our own repeated mistakes.

They will drum up less revenue by the reduced crowds .
By selling Tav , Payero , Akpom , Rogers and Crooks it looks as though they don't want promotion .
If his job is to get Boro up he is going the wrong way about it , by selling our best players , and lately not bringing in a CF .
Take your blinkers off Mart , the fans ARE the club.
I will be leaving on 30 minutes along with most people I know.

You have to sell over a number of years to build up a ffp allowance to invest heavily enough for promotion. That’s just how the system works.

Tav and Akpom had 1 year left, crooks had a great opportunity, Payero was rubbish and tigers got tapped up.

There are no blinkers, the prices are high, but it isn’t done with intent to “fleece” anyone, it isn’t done for his own personal profit. It’s done for the good of the club
 
I wonder if Luton upped their prices to just under £500 last season in order to get promotion?
It's obviously done nowt to push us up the league, has it?
We've sold players at a profit over the last year or two and shed all the high earners.
What next?
Up the price again?
Or consider a different approach?

They got lucky. It’s a once every 50 years thing they achieved.

If you want the club to funded like Luton it will end up where Luton will be 10 years from now, league two

Aren't we getting extra revenue from the new TV deal? Didn't we just make million on Rogers and probably sell more players in the summer. Ticket revenue is small part of it in the grand scheme of things surely a more fuller stadium helps a promotion push and attract higher calibre of player's
 
Many on here asking RF to do something just a week ago and now they are the same people have their arses falling out. Claiming it will effect the team.

Players come and go, fans are the club. Take the opportunity to show your displeasure with something the club is doing. It is not 'anti-club' or 'anti-team', its supporting your fellow supporter.

The club is going to lose more money with this stupid price rise than it was planning on making.

Have some back bone and help your fellow fans to fill that ground because they can actually afford to go. In the next 10 years there will be noone under 40 in that ground, because the younger generation will be entirely priced out and those with kids won't be able to afford to bring them.

Enough is Enough.
 
What is a realistic acceptable price for people?

£510 over 23 games is £22.17 per game with a free pint.

Call a pint £4.50 and give fans the option to forgive £4.50 × 23= £103.5.

£510 - £103.5 = £406.5

£406.5 over 23 games = £17.67 without a pint is this acceptable and is it worth putting this to the Club first instead of a mass walk during a game which could have an effect on the players who are not to blame ?

And with the above in mind and as inflation rises, so wages, costs of running the stadium and club etc, how would an increase be undertaking to keep the fanbase content but also look after the interests of the club?
 
They didn't say which club it was, but, for them, it would be more cost effective to have no spectators and save on the match day costs of manning the stadium. Think about it,

Still got your blinkers on .
More fans brings more revenue , and attracts more fans with the feel good factor .
The club are alienating the fans , if we had lost at Leicester there would be more uproar , but don't let a lucky win hide our lack of a forward and squad depth . ( they missed 4 sitters and on another day it would have been 2-0 on 20 minutes )
I want my club to be at the top , but by selling my favourite players every season it is like a kick in the teeth .
I live for the Boro , as I know you do , but they need to embrace the fans not wind them up .

Club should be giving away free tickets to local schools, people and societies that are doing good in the community each and every home game if tickets are available instead of having empty seats or offering kids tickets for £1 if an adult buys a ticket for X, every home game the aim should be to pack the stadium and make it a fortress.

I appreciate each and everyone's view on this and think it is expensive but understand the reasoning as a football club is a business so just like food, drinks and general goods going up why would football be any different, with this in mind what is a price that people would be happy with for a ST?

If it had stated the same would people be happy?

Granted the club didn't show an ounce of care with there advertising was very poor just keen to get a general consensus on what the price should be?

A same price for everyone, new or old on ST
Free pint / drink for existing ST

Give the real bonus for loyalty in priority points , not profiteering from the new

So come the big occasions away from home. They get that guarantee..

No parent and two kids ( under 15 ) should be paying more than £65 as a walk up.
They have to literally walk past guaranteed entertainment at the cinema to get there .
 
You could make up the difference he is going to get from the price increase by getting the retail side sorted. it is abysmal presently.
Get some stock in.
Make new kits readily available at launch not in Oct/Nov/Dec like last couple of seasons.
Get better quality merchandise.
All these things would vastly increase sales and so also income.
Or just sell Hoppe.
 
The walk out on 30min but return for second half is a WAY BETTER IDEA!

That would actually be supported around the ground and have a noticeable, visual impact.

No matter how people feel about the prices enough simply won’t leave a game, and just the RF, plus a few scattered ransoms, will just look like what it is….the RF doing their thing in isolation.

Surely the message to get across is EVERYBODY is unhappy with prices, and a short sharp 15min emptying of seats around the ground achieves this WAY more than just the RF doing it for an hour of game.

@RF…..why not propose your ideas on places like here first and get some wider feedback?!! Crazy that as a fan group you don’t actually tout ideas and settle on something that works for everybody and gets ALL fans onside which ultimately helps achieve your goals more.

I hope he has got thick skin.
Otherwise he might react like the Sheff Wed owner and tell us all to feck off, he's putting no more money into the club.

Anyone got any idea what the further actions the RF might take are?

Pints at best a £1 to buy in ..
 
The price rise is small - I can’t think of many things that don’t go up in price every year. It’s about the equivalent of an extra 57p a week. I’m not sure what fans expect the club to do to cover costs 🤷🏼‍♂️ - sell our best players and replace with worse one perhaps ? All so you have that extra 57p a week to splash around ?
