First time poster! The football club needs fans to buy season tickets! For the ones debating whether to get one . It might be a case of regretting it soon if you don’t. It’s understandable not to get one if you don’t know what the future holds regarding finances. To the rest it’s whether you want a club! Don’t regret it later. It ain’t much more than an expensive beer a week 🍺You’re club needs you😜

I’ve bought one for the new season for the first time in years, not because I’ll use it as I play on Saturdays, but because I’m financially in a position to do so and hope it helps securing our short term future.
However, the majority are not going to be like me with next to no responsibilities, so to ask people to spend hundreds of pounds on something they have no idea when they’ll be able to use it, may have been furloughed and As such are not being paid as much (if at all) is a massive ask for something that is not an essential in life.
if anyone can’t afford a ST for the new season due to the burden corona has put on all of us, I’ve got an adult ST in the blackthorn end they can use every now and then when I’m playing so just give me a shout 👍🏻.

You can't blame people for sitting on the fence when we don't even know a season is going to take place or if fans will be allowed back into a stadium. You say it's only the price of a beer a week but £300 to £400 is quite a significant amount of money to pay upfront for something, especially if finances are tight, ultimately a ticket to the football isn't nearly as important as financial security and paying bills.
I'll renew and support the club again and I won't be asking for any refunds for this season but first I want things to be a little bit more clearer on what's going to happen next year.

Plus when will we actually see Rovers play live even if we renew, will we get the games free on iFollow or have to pay again to watch them? |

I'll be waiting to find out what's going on first like many others. Not just to see what I'm buying or even if there will be anything to watch but to see if I've got a job to go back to at the end of furlough. Theres no point spending savings when I might need them to eat in 6 months time.

On a serious note I will always pay for my ST even though travelling means I miss the majority of games anyway |

I agree with the original post , that if your in the fortunate position to be able to afford to renew it would greatly help the club through these difficult times.
I am sure the fallout from this pandemic is going to finish a lot of clubs , I just hope Rovers are not one of them.

Don't think it unreasonable to know what you are buying when paying out money. Still 25% of last years unused.
Think seats should certainly continue to be held until dates for games are clear ......
If the club are in financial difficulties we can address that as fans - perhaps a share issue where we get to own the shares, not held in trust as previous scheme.
If the club wants help they need to communicate with the fans, tell us they need it, and talk about what input they will give us in return for the financial help.
I paid into the share scheme and now we don't even have fans directors - not interested in whose fault that is. Rovers fans supported the club over the years and can do again, but the attitude of "we own the club, you are customers" has to change if I am to do so.
Don't see that being pressured into buying something that the club can't deliver is valid, anymore than me buying merchandise that the club knows they can't send out is valid .....

The club can keep my S/T money paid for this season, on the proviso that when everyone knows what is happening next season, I can renew my S/T at the discounted price.

If that's the case why are we apparently happy to spend £400K/£500K just on glorified training sessions for BG? |

At the moment, there's a price freeze and current season ticket seat holders seat is reserved deal until June 1st. There is no more official information at this time, but would never be surprised to see the deadline extended at some point. It'll probably be announced on or after expiry date! The best course of action is to contact Clare direct, or even email. |

I love the gas with a passion but I am fed up with the silence from our board regarding training ground and stadium, I just cant be bothered to support a team that goes between league 1 and 2 and maybe conference any more. There is nothing at all to look forward to being a Rovers fan these days. I hate feeling like this but I do.

I phoned today and left my details on the answer machine, and she got back to me in about an hour. |
