I did, but it's no use if it's only a handful of people. It's a genuine off-field issue and so the club has no excuse for not answering.

Popular Post belaguttman Posted May 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I had a call from the franchise membership office today. I told them that the last 6 seasons had worn me down and that I was waiting for a new coach before I renewed. I said that I couldn't see JVS as the man to take the team to the next level, that I felt ticket prices were too high and that the offer of 2 free GA tickets for friends was useless as all season the best I could manage was to persuade 1 friend to come to a single game and he was my brother so its likely that they would be unused. I said that the biggest incentive for me to renew was the new sausage stands. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defibrillator Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Advice please ladies and gents. Just rang to renew my family membership and told that one of the child memberships can't be upgraded to concessional/student under the new structure, so I have to buy an additional concession membership and the second child membership will have "guest" on it. That adds considerable cost to start with. The sting in the tail is that the new concessional membership will not be seated with the family (we are in Premium A). One of the joys of going to the football is spending time with my teenage daughter and young son as a family unit - especially the Christmas derby. Given we will be separated I feel like telling the club to shove it. I know we can shuffle, but the idea of being forced to buy an extra ticket and leave one seat potentially empty has me baffled. I can't see the logic of this decision - do they want teenagers to go to the football and build future members? We are now in a position to either go ahead with this at extra cost and separation if we take another child, or myself or my wife drop our membership and upgrade my teenager to adult to save costs. Our days of a family outing to City probably gone. Really not happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had to twice upgrade kids into the next age category and whilst I couldn't do it on line it was fairly straight forward (did cost more of course). I reckon you need to speak to someone who knows what they are actually doing. Is a massive stuff up though however you look at it. Actively discouraging families- WTF?

Dylan Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 For those wondering. I signed up for the payment plan but I prefer paying the full lump sum. So I asked and confirmed you can just pay out the remaining balance owing on the plan when ever you want, if like me, you find automatic payments annoying.

Trying to work out if i upgrade and go over there, or just keep my behind the tarp seats which are still ok. i Like my space around me which is why im considering that side and not the tunnel side.

Have sat there in the middle of the day and at night. They are pretty much night games now days but in the summer sun it get ridiculous, also from where i sit usually it looks like the weather hits it unless your under the roof of course. Have sat up on the deck for the derby and if we even get enough supporters to open it thats where i would like to sit as you can see everything.

Popular Post haz Posted May 26, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Received a call from "James" . Asked the usual question if I'll be renewing for this coming season. I replied that at this stage I feel like supporting the club from my couch as I don't won't to pay money for another season of JVS mediocrity. He noted down my response and I asked if he received the same answer from other members to which he replied yes. He then asked what would make me want to renew, and I said a new manager and a membership badge to continue my collection. To which he also noted down. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 yeah, I'm going to wait and see how we build over the off-season before I commit to 2016/17. fair enough if I'm labelled fairweather but the fact that there's been no announcements on the futures of any players or JVS prior to the May 31 "early-bird" deadline has me concerned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Although we will renew on the automatic rollover, basically to retain our good seats, I still don't understand why the club is pushing memberships so early. It seems like half the squad has left since January, and there hasn't been a really exciting new signing yet to stimulate interest in next season, and the rumours are swirling about Mooy, Fornaroli and Novillo. I don't really believe it's an issue of "getting the money in early" because I doubt that season tickets are that important in the overall revenue of the club. The question has been asked several times on "City Voice" but the silence from the club is deafening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee it now you'll all be signed up within a fortnight Edit- ffs it's the same shit on here non stop. "we don't have enough members! What are the club doing to retain and gain more members!" club calls members in attempt to retain and gain. "The club are calling us because they know all our best players are gone" fuck this forum I'm only bothering to check domestic politics and TTIM.
