We'll definitely be looking to talk about that. Few people - me included - have concerns that for £10 a shot, the service doesn't represent value for money. Clubs like Gillingham offer multiple camera angles and commentary with theirs, for instance.
What I don't get is the price difference for expats vs UK. Has this been asked before? Why should it be cheaper to watch overseas than here in the UK, bloody rip off Britain...... Tell him to sort it or we'll set Angela Ripon on him
 
Ditto the boxes, slash em to £80 a man for one season only, maybe to only folk whove held a st a decade.

Shit that excludes me. Paid on the gate last year.

I'd like to see long term season ticket holders, like 30+ years be offered cheaper boxes, if they're going to stand empty, why not reward loyalty?
 
Fair enough didn't know that! Just checked the Montgomery suite is now £108 + vat, which is still just shy of 50 quid more than Burton.

I feel like even if they lowered it to £60/70 we'd sell loads more. Easy for me to say without being in charge of money like :lol:

Prices are set to keep the scratters out man....
 
I suggested on here making the rate for corner tickets the same for whole north stand. Looks awful a third full, emptiest part of the bowl by far.
Making the corners cheap was a pricing strategy based on the ground pretty much selling out. Or at least it should have been. We don't really have reacted to that over the years when not filling the ground.
 
Somebody on here mentioned about having a couple of the concourse bars open after the match. Maybe show the 5.30 premier league match on the screens. Sounded like a good idea to me as it might stop the piss heads leaving early as they have had to go without a pint since half time. Obviously open them straight after the final whistle.

I dont know if they would even be able to find this out. But wouldn't it be nice if they invited, say our 100 longest serving season ticket holders, and invited them to a meal and drinks pre match.
 
Has there been any thought on how to make away ticket allocations fairer? I get the current system and support it, but it's almost impossible for out of area ST holders to get black cat points when you can't get a sniff at an away ticket. It looks like it will be very slim pickings for low black cat points holders and no way to build demonstrate the loyalty and interest in going to aways. There's been plenty of discussion that card details couldn't be retained due to changes in the law but what about a pre-paid deposit that you top-up as it gets depleted and can then use to apply for tickets with loyalty points for unsuccessful applications like in former years.
 
I think this might have been covered before but I’d love the away supporters back down in the lower part. Best would be if they were in the SE or SW corners. The interaction between home and away supporters is one of the best things about English football. It used to be great at the SoL but now it is nonexistent.

Aye....don't just turn up when wa winning, those kiddas have earned their points....
 
It's amazing how quickly this situation has turned into a vehicle for people to piss and moan about little gripes rather than an opportunity to ask interesting questions.

How many more of these do you think he's going to bother to do if all it ends up being is a list of petty grievances and people wanting more for less? If it were me I'd feel completely unappreciated given the hard work is put in and how the club have started the season.

We're doing well on the pitch but I suppose our lot are only happy if they've got something to whinge about. f***ing hell.

We've got streams this year, we didn't last year. If you think it's poor value/quality don't buy them. I don't recall anyone on here getting up in arms when the last lot didn't even bother to offer us this service yet there are plenty wiling to have a go at the club now because it's not good enough.

A lot of the questions posed this far sound entitled and it's becoming a free for all for the sort of people who are always on the lookout for the chance to say "can I speak to your manager" in any transaction.
 
Could you ask if I can mail him on how shite transport links there are to the match from blackhall/hpool/teeside.
Such as no way home from midweek games, fans getting turned away from full trains etc.
I’d happily send Stewart a report?
Stop being a glory hunter and support your local club.
 
Is his favourite pub in and around Eastleigh the Dog and Crook in Brambridge? If not, why not?

@janey was supposed to ask him when she had him over tea, but was obviously interested in other things. ;)
 
Ask if he'd be interested in fans sending the club scouting recommendations, and if there's an address or email address they should use.

Loads of us footy manager players out there could send him names of players to check out.
 
As we reflect on the sad passing of Burt Reynolds which of his classics will love longer in Donald's heart, smokey and the bandit or cannonball run?
Cannonball run for me, what a cast!

Also, we are running out of things to moan about on the pitch so please point him in the direction of the stadium improvements thread, some good ideas in there.

Just out of interest why is it more difficult for out of area ST holders to accumulate loyalty points, I'd suggest that unless you live to the North the travelling to most aways is less?

You could have built your points up over the last few seasons no problem, plenty of others have.
 
To be fair to them they aren't the experts with regards to the streaming stuff, so troubling them on minor details is probably worthless, but expressing concern that the value for money when it comes to the service is definitely something they hold influence over.

This is exactly what Bain cited as a reason not to get it and he was rightly hammered for it. It does exactly what I want it too.
