Apparently the guy writing up the list has left and no one can find where he put the list. Office search being undertaken as I type.

One does he only ever communicate and update one to one? To be fair prisoners only are allowed one visitor.

To clarify;
- Moving tickets to Mobile Tickets/App - Absolutely fine. - Charging for cards if the punter wants a card - Absolutely fine. - Waiting until after season tickets have been sold to charge £15 for a card on top of a £7 "Processing Fee" - Really sh**.
The right thing to do would be provide FREE cards this season to whoever wants them, then going forward charging a £5 max fee for replacement cards while still running the mobile tickets. Absolute divs running the show.

Has to be easier to lend tickets via a screenshot of the digital ticket than actually having to physically hand it over. Saves you fostering mine for half the season Might be a fancy app where the QR code changes every few mins to prevent such sharing from occurring? (haha, no, of course it will just be a print at home style ticket e-mailed to you before every game.. like we had when season cards weren't sent out in time ) More likely to be a QR code that doesn't work for every one causes queues back to Lidl on Muller Road while Tommy Gulag scoffs hors d'oeuvres with Barry Fry.

I may be wrong but I remember pirate saying our conversion rate is actually quite poor, it's been slightly fogged by the fact we've had a few put 100+ appearances in (Lockyer, Clarke, Harrison, Lines, Hoole etc). What I wrote in January. gaschat.co.uk/post/981973
A few years ago Training Ground Guru site did a productivity study. The rankings are the only publicly-available resource of their kind and rank Academies from Categories One to Three based on the number of England-qualified graduates who made at least one league appearance in the Premier League, Football League or National League in the 2021/22 season. Bristol Rovers ranked 75th best out of 80 clubs.
It's interesting because that's "at least one appearances", it's a shame it's not aggregate. I surmise we'd actually not be too bad!

Said it many times ,I think Rovers record of giving youth/development squad players a decent chance to prosper is appalling, i know some on here shout that if they are good enough they should be setting their loans clubs league alight with MOM performances every week, I maintain that good players need other good players alongside them in order to show their real potential, several have shown up very well in pre season friendlies and that's as near as they get to the first team, but playing devils advocate, how many posters rated the Liverpool lad when he was here ? he had plenty of detractors on here , did Liverpool fans spout 'if he aint good enough for Bristol Rovers then he certainly aint good enough for us? yet here he is in playing in a then title chasing Liverpool team. IT will indeed be very disappointing if Greenslade is not given a chance. I may be wrong but I remember pirate saying our conversion rate is actually quite poor, it's been slightly fogged by the fact we've had a few put 100+ appearances in (Lockyer, Clarke, Harrison, Lines, Hoole etc).

People have been sold entry to every game, to change the T&C’s after point of sale is minging. I suppose as it doesn’t effect you you’re not arsed. They've still been sold entry to every game. That hasn't changed. It does if they’ve changed the terms and conditions of entry.

Not seen a single person moan about anything but the charge. There's no charge if you use your phone though. My guess is that this will impact less than 20 season ticket holders. Everyone else is just being outraged for the sake of it. People have been sold entry to every game, to change the T&C’s after point of sale is minging.

I remember them saying the current cards would work next season, they've changed the goal posts, half the time the man presses the pedal to let me in on my B and q card!😃 There wasn't anyone on the Thatchers turnstyle for that last home game. If they say that cards can be used, I will happily throw mine into the mixer. I might be the only one who thinks this is a cracking idea. It's like: Gashead: We need modern facilities. Owners: We have just invested in the infrastructure to allow entry via mobile phone. Gashead: Nooooooo! When I said modern facilities I didn't want anything to change. Not seen a single person moan about anything but the charge.

About time really. Occasionally go watch Prem football, only ever used my phone to get into the ground... Step in the right direction. No reason to keep using plastic for majority. Just an idea, an alternative for the over 65 or people that don't have a phone or can't use one. Perhaps an email with a QR code on it would do and have it so it can be re used every game. Up to the person then to get it laminated to protect it. If only the club had thought to communicate this! Ah wait….. Tommy Gulag can’t even have the decency to respond to feedback these days. All aboard the Tommy Gulag Stolypin!

is there any reason why they can't reactivate the QR codes on this seasons cards. Aren't the digital ST's QR codes? My assumption is the app will be similar to the FAW's one with rotating QR codes to stop screenshots etc.

I remember reading from chewy that there has been a 29.47% increase in basic North Terrace season ticket prices since 2019. Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2018/19 - £275.00 [+£15.00 - 5.77% Increase] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2019/20 - £285.00 [+£10.00 - 3.64% Increase] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2020/21 - £285.00 [Price Freeze] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2021/22 - £285.00 [Price Freeze] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2022/23 - £315.00 [+£30.00 - 10.53% Increase] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2023/24 - £315.00 [Price Freeze] Adult Earlybird - Thatchers End - 2024/25 - £359.00 [+£44.00 - 13.97 Increase] £84.00 / 30.55% since 2019! A little addition to this, if Season Ticket prices rose with inflation they'd be £340.00.

The cost of season tickets for those who had concessions has risen, quite significantly in some cases. This is really taking the mick announcing after tickets have been purchased.

Surely this is Ticketmaster's fault right? Seems everything else gets blamed on them. But in all seriousness why can't the club just factor this in beforehand and add £15 onto the cost of a season ticket, or make it very clear during the purchasing process that a physical ticket will come at an additional cost *facepalm* Once again a case of poor planning all round on the clubs behalf Me right now updating the Tommy Gulag failures list.

I've got no problem with this route. If you don't want to use a digital ticket, you pay for one......simple. They have paid for one.

As much as i have no problem with this in theory, we have Rovers'd it up again havent we! Should be free for those that need it, not a preference Should have been announced before tickets were released and paid for Going to get a load of stick and pee people off for no reason. Ho hum, here we go again. £15 for a card is utterly insane. Free for a replacement membership card at Gloucestershire Cricket.

No problems with this , digital tickets work fine for me. And if you're 89 struggling to work out how to even send a text? Stealth tax on pensioner tickets. Classic Tommy Gulag.
