It's all well and good to introduce memberships and opportunities like your suggestion above but my comparisons aren't even inclusive of other clubs' memberships or special ticket offerings. Yeah thats the most pertinent point, our prices are a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose we have an element of our fanbase who will pay more to watch a Premier league club or one who are competing for promotion. If the product is good on the pitch then the tickets will sell, that would be the clubs excuse anyway. That would be the same for every club though, you'd think from a business position then you'd try harder to retain customers or entice new ones. I still don't think that takes away from the fact that our prices are too expensive though, when we are in one of the most deprived areas of the country and paying more than fans in London then something is morally wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aye mate, that's one of the reasons I felt it was good to grab as many of the clubs in this division as possible. Clubs from all over the country, in similar places or in better off places to Teesside and still see where we sit in comparison to them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Another call to this, the meeting wasn't on the 8th but it will be on the 15th as it stands. I'm gonna ask the group about the four things I've picked up on on here since the last meeting: - Away kit voting - MDSA raising money for new bus with club's help (forgot to pass this one on) - Full squad photos - Bigger TVs in the concourse This meeting may well have some feedback on the ticket stuff I've done for the group or any updates on work the ticketing department has done towards the memberships they were planning so any new suggestions you can think of there again will surely be welcome. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Food and drink stuffs was a topic from the survey that is causing people much distress and coming to no favourable conclusion just yet. 🙁 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Any final thoughts for tonight's meeting, get them in soon. Everything mentioned already has been picked up by the agenda for the meeting. It might be a tight fit to get anything else in but if there's anything urgent, let me know.

I presume it's asking about its return as it was one of the more popular options on the menu. Though I thought we'd essentially ran through that in the last meeting with the lack of staff meaning a reduced menu. It looks like it's a low priority anyway. 10 minutes ago, Humpty said: I’m sure that’s the kind of thing these meetings were designed for… I'm pretty sure quite a few fans asked about the options on the concourse in the survey MSF did recently and as said there, it was quite popular before lockdown for a while. 14 minutes ago, Mfcdanny said: What’s the craic with the meeting with Scott? Would this be like an event or just an interview? Just meeting with MSF, so I presume it will be something like a Zoom call with all our reps invited along. Warnock did one a while back and I think we'll be asking in future if Wilder can do one too. Apparently the club is sure they can get Scott into a meeting with us in the new year though given the work in front of him and Wilder in January, I wouldn't be surprised if it's pushed back until at least February.
