Extract from yesterday’s communication.
‘The future holds immense promise, and we are not embarking on this journey alone. Your unwavering support, passion, and loyalty fuel our collective aspirations. We will soon be in a position to announce the release of season tickets. We understand the economic challenges everyone faces, and despite inflationary pressures, we have ensured minimal price increases’.
So another load of tosh from the owners. They don’t understand the economic challenges many face, as if they did, they would not have priced out many supporters with children. Shameful and very short sighted potentially losing younger fans. It’s been a rollercoaster couple of weeks and to my mind, this is a new low. I will renew but can understand why people won’t.

The Kuwait academy is around £300 per month for one child, expensive here but not in that neck of the woods.
Perhaps they’ve misjudged it and will correct it, I don’t hold much hope

It’s the same old sh** trotted out every few years and the majority buy in every time. |

No finance option ? That’s me done then. It’s not that I can’t afford to pay upfront i just don’t want too as finance has always been my preference. Absolutely crazy to do away with this , add the ridiculous pricing for kids , I can see this being an absolute disaster and possibly a. All time low in ST sales.

Sadly, I’m one of those happy-clapping, rose-tinters, that usually sucks it up and blindly supports for the greater good, and even I am now halving my ST investment in the club. Shocking. |

Me and my two boys have had st the last 5 years but unless they change the pricing, they have lost our money. I think it’s a massive water take tbh

A communication (finally) before the release of season ticket prices was predictable and worrying. |

I wonder if anyone at the club will be reading these pages? Will there be a realisation they’ve made a massive mistake and misread the fanbase?

Although the season ticket concerns do not apply to me ref young supporters, having read all the concerns on here I have just emailed Tom Gorringe and advised him to look at the thread and asked him to pass on the information to the powers that be.
As always I will post any response as soon as I receive it.

A communication (finally) before the release of season ticket prices was predictable and worrying. Same as last year when sales didn’t start well and we released a video about the fabled fruit market stadium, despite having agreed none of the most important things. |

Wasn't that whilst Wael was still the owner? I'm surprised Wael is prepared to have his good name at Rovers tainted by the new owners, given he still owns over 40% of the club. |

Yep, that was Wael and it was a proper sh** thing to do. A complete watertake |

I doubt Tom is responsible for the increase and I am sure that you’ll get a reply. I doubt he has much influence over the decision though. |

I’d love him to ask some people with management experience and a commercial approach to give them some steer on food and drink sales! Reckon I could boost the Matchday takings by at least 25% just by applying basic retail / service principles! |

Surely this is where the Fan Directors come into their own - or am I being naive? They, if they still exist, must raise these issues with whoever is making these decisions and raise all the legitimate concerns raised. If they do and are not listened to then what is the point of their role? |
