Question Would you delay renewing next season?

[shrimper61]

Am I right in thinking I am unable to purchase my season ticket unless I actually go the the ticket office, regardless of how I wish to pay. From my location it is not practical to visit the office, so I always rely on a online transaction.

You can renew on the phone 03444770077 ticket office is open week days 11am to 4pm.

Purchasing via phone is ok I think but getting hold of a member of staff to sell it to you is not always easy

Don't intend to renew until a new owner is in place. I'm a scatter-cash and very irresponsible with money, but even I can't hand money over and help fund another season of RM's nonsense behaviour.

you have to say that even the threat of witholding money has had some good affect ...

i think the shrimper trust should ask for gaurantees that staff and players get paid before the suggested "embargo" on seaon ticket renewals is lifted

Good point. Perhaps the seaso money should be ringfenced for the staff. Problem is, he has so many creditors he's having to pay the most important ones first (more important in his eyes are the ones that could shut us down ie HMRC and ones effecting the embargo)

The Blues Box Office will be open Sunday 2nd April, 10am-3pm. Head Coach Maher said: "This club is nothing without the fans, and we’ve seen time and time again this season how much you’ve helped us, both home and away. "Some of the numbers we’ve taken away from home have been phenomenal. The fans are always incredible at Roots Hall, and we’ll need you with us again next season!" Following two years of low season card prices in the Vanarama National League, we have unfortunately had to make the decision to increase the cost for the 2023/24 season.

has anybody else had the same as me this morning an email from the club reminding me about buying my early bird season ticket [ x2 ] and the SUFC box office is open on sunday 2nd april from 10 o`clock

 

[RHB]

Am I prepared to let the Club go to the wall and into administration as a result of me not renewing? That's the question that needs answering if they don't extend early bird. As it stands I would not be prepared to see the club go under as a result of non renewal.

Yes, I have.

 

[Anniemay7]

I am not renewing my season ticket yet as not happy to part with money yet. but can it not be renewed online when I decide to pay by card?

But that’s emotional blackmail (perhaps on yourself but also on others) if the club goes to the wall it will be because of financial incompetence by the owner, not because some individuals decided not to renew their season tickets

 

[tia]

I received email about renewing this morning.I am renewing this coming week but I I understand and respect the decision of others who may choose to wait or not renew at all

 

[kentblues]

More correctly it will be that financial incompetence by the owner has placed us in an appalling position where people withholding season ticket money may have drastic consequences…

 

[Target man]

None of us should feel guilty about withholding buying season tickets. Ron is laying it on thick that emabargo and owing wages will be paid once seaso money is in.
No doubt he will default again during the next 12 months; probably within a couple of months. If he can't pay what staff are owned now without seaso money, how will he pay next month, and the month after, and the month after that?
Granted, there will be bar sales from August again, but thats not enough to keep us going.
You could argue that if all us seasos paid per game basis, the club ultimately gets more money in over the long term and more money on a monthly income basis forcing the club to budget a bit more sensibly.

He contradicts himself. One hand, says embargo and wages will be paid when season tickets are paid, but then also said the delay in payment hasn't affected things. Make your mind up. I think it's a disgrace that the season tickets payment for next season goes on paying off this season. Suggests all along that the bridging loan paying off everything and giving us capital was yet another lie. If everyone stumped up payment now, are we confident next season is taken care of including staff paid, players paid each month and no chance of another Kacper situation occurring and Kev being able to get players in without further embargos? I'm not confident it would even get as far as the first month now we know the truth.

Absolutely. I wouldn't for one second listen to Ron's dribble about blaming supporters. What can he do? Take us to court? Absolutely no one but Ron would believe what he says. Everyone knows how financially incompetent he is.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

I've not had a season ticket for years, works out much more cost effective to purchase individual tickets
