Founders bar


The answer is to keep your season ticket going if you move up to corporate.
Let someone else use it.
Then if you bin off corporate you still you your old season ticket to fall back on.
If you don’t do this, you are tied to corporate for life, or you don’t go.

Not everyone can afford both.
Plus what if your mate decides he or she loves the matches and you hoy them out after a year or two.
The answer is the club not being absolute tossers about it

Well I was in BCB which as far as I’m aware was a “normal area” hence you could just buy tickets via the normal ticketing page. Then it revamped and I signed up to 76 Yards while we were still in the Championship, I was completely unaware they were going to be ***** about downgrading if you wanted too.
 
We moved from BCB to Quinns for this season - have renewed for next year as it wasn't as much of an increase as was expecting and we have quite enjoyed it though they definitely could do with some more seating or a bit of a rejig as sometimes there's just me and the bairn there early so a waste having a big table or booth but there's not many 2 person seating options. The times we have been in there late have usually managed to sit somewhere but thats mainly cos the bairn just squeezes himself in anywhere where there's a gap 🤦‍♂️


Food in there I've found to be better than I was expecting - only once so far I've been a bit disappointed with what I got

Poor though that there's no option to change or go to near front of list for a regular season ticket though after the renewal period , especially if you've held a season ticket for years.

If there are still no free seats that's fair enough. If I wanted to move my seat in the ground but none were available my options would be stay where I am or jack it in.

As for someone being on the list for ages, again I'd compare it to anyone with a regular seat wanting to move. Someone from the waiting list wouldn't get priority there, why should they have priority just because a move is from Founders or 76 Yards rather than between regular seats? The season ticket holder should have priority.

I agree actually, the list one I thought more about and they should not get priority for anyone moving. The club have dropped a massive clanger here! I understand the move would not be possible if every single current normal ST holder renewed, but this is unlikely so there should not really be an issue. They've gone about it the wrong way, shock horror!

Rediculous.

So puts ht out of the equation and ft anyones allowed in.

So basically what £45 extra a game to go in a landlocked pub.

I didn't realise how bad the Founders was you'd be better off having some food and a few pints in the Hilton before the match the Founders at halftime is useless unless your not bothered about miss loads of the match. Not even toilets in there you have to go to concourse

I’ve posted this on another thread, but it’s best off here…

It sounds to me that, and in particular, the Founders Bar does not represent good value for money and a significant number would give it up, if they could.

Im sure the club as it is being run now would want to put up as many barriers as they could getaway with to stop people moving back into general admission seats.

In my view it really is poor what the club is up to these days, they should also consider that the good times will not always be here for them to exploit.

Spuff reckons an extra £45 a game for Founders. £855 over the season. What's the capacity in there, iirc something like 600? So the club are alienating good fans for the sake of about £500k a season?

In Premier League terms that's nowt. Probably paid Masuaku more than that to put an arse groove in the bench for half a season.

As shit as it may seem, I kinda get it. If someone decides to downgrade from corp, there may not be a standard seat available, as others have taken them and also joined queues to get this kind of seat when available.

I get it's shite as corp put a lot of money in, but if there's no normal seats what can they do? Turf out someone else? Not an issue when there's tons of seats, but when it's full this kind of thing is going to bite some :(

They should have created an area for The founders like behind the dug outs, glad we passed up the opportunity last year when we were turfed out of the BCB

Whilst I agree what happens if there’s no season tickets to downgrade to?

If theres genuinely none left then theyll have to suck it up in the same way I couldn't move seat if I wanted to get away from the arsehole who sits behind me. However the crux of the issue is that the club are treating those with corporate tickets as the same as someone who's never been to a match.
There'll always be some drop offs, and those wanting to downgrade due to excessive price increases should be given priority to move over those non season ticket holders on the waiting list.

I totally agree like.
 
Said before but the club needs to allocate specific areas seats for corporate areas, or make them available to SC holders as add ons.
They may yet do the former for Founders and any new offerings they create. Better seats = higher price. I can see people getting moved to sort the mess out.

I can’t see ex corporates being given early access to seats, nor can I see any form of past history being taken into account tbh.

£1434 a few pages back = £75.47 a game.

They have since stopped allowing people in after match without wristband after many complaints from founders ticket holders, including me

I think that the season ticket waiting list should be ordered by how many games you attended the previous season. This way, the people formerly in corporate would go top of the list by default.
