NewBlue Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Lets hope there is more info as this ain't nothing exciting or special Regarding the 'unedited' video that was leaked: "(it) does not include all the details of the club's initiative." Something more to add, hope it's not the £5 Bury & Rochdale 'perk'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Perhaps they a re just dropping the prices now so we will be the in line with others when we are in the Blue Square North in a couple of seasons !!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I can see it on the iPhone app but can't play it as I'm not willing to give PTV, or whatever it is they're called now, my money. How professional it makes Latics look, as usual. And £240 for a season ticket is decent but really nothing remarkable. I think it's a bloody decent deal myself Stevie, I currently pay £300+ and would never buy a shirt but would definately consider wearing one if it was part of the deal!

That's the point. It's a great deal for you but you already buy a season ticket. The idea is surely to attract new custom and this, in my opinion, won't do a lot on that front.

The idea is surely to attract new custom and this, in my opinion, won't do a lot on that front. It's an even better deal for me because i'd blindly renew my season ticket and buy a shirt anyway, regardless of how :censored: we become. Well done Latics .

another fan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 ALLEDGED proposed cost per season ticket inclusive of VAT = £240 23 home games per season therefore cost of each game obviously attending all home games equates to less than £10.50 per game PLUS free shirt PLUS other incentives to be anounced Sounds like a good deal to me Admittedly this is all pure speculation on our part but if there is any true in it congratulations to the Club in trying to keep a professional football club in Oldham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddyender2 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Can't see this deal attracting many new fans to the club next season. But as someone who will be renewing their season ticket next year regardless of what happens and will probably buy a shirt aswell i welcome this deal.

OAFCKeepTheFaith Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Cracking deal for those who were likely to renew anyway like myself. Unfortunately, regardless of deal I can't see it enticing stayaways back whilst product on pitch is as dire as now. Credit to club though for still striving to turn things around despite numerous setbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Free shirt I bought this years for the first time in ages on the assumption that it was going to last into next season too. If it doesnt it will annoy a lot of fans- I'm likely to get a new ST any way and even more so at that price In all honesty why is one of our players informed of this sort of thing in advance. Club captain or not the list of people who know about the offer at this stage shouldn't be very long and it shouldn't include any of the playing/coaching staff. Is it Gordon's easily recognisable dolcet tones doing the interview? As the interviewer is quite likely to be in trouble and it would be a shame for Gordon. Since he has been a long-serving servant of the club for ages for this to be included in his Latics cv.

leeslover Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I would guess they are hoping Furman has a good AfCup and some publiciy around that which gets a bigger media profile around the interview when it is released. They might even have done multiple versions of it for when they finalised the deal. In any case, they are still trying. I wouldn't be surprised if the official announcement is better than this...

KYLEOAFC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Anyone cynical enough to think perhaps the leak was deliberate to gauge reaction? I thought the same at first but its not really that exciting we will still be paying £199.99 too much if the atmosphere and facilities are the same as they are now.

Fruitygoo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Season ticket holder for many years....have to say I only just got one this year. At the moment (and I appreciate more may come) I'm a little underwhelmed. I don't really bother with shirts too much these days so that's not really an incentive and the discount isn't huge. If that had been this season, and I'd paid the quoted amount, I'd still be disappointed with the money I'd spent to watch the boring nonsense served up so far this year.

rudemedic Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The people who are most likely to be swayed by this deal are those who go regularly on a Saturday but can't make mid-week games. As the ST is only the equivalent of 12 games. If the OAP price reflects the full adult price then I can see my Dad getting one too and he has been thinking about not getting a ST because he misses a few games every year.

If the OAP price reflects the full adult price then I can see my Dad getting one too and he has been thinking about not getting a ST because he misses a few games every year. I think you're also underestimating the possible catchment. I'll go to a fair number of away games per season, maybe five or six at home. For an extra £100 on top of the 'usual' £100 an extra 18 games is an incentive. I'm not saying I'd do it, but I'd be tempted. I do think the plus VAT thing is a bit of a disincentive though, flat £200 is tempting, psychologically £240 may be the straw to effectively make it a discount rather than an offer (if that makes sense).

al_bro Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It would be interesting to know how many adult season tickets were sold this season, and how many actually attend each game. There have been plenty of empty ST seats around me for the past 5/6 games. Not knowing what the other incentives are I cannot comment on the price,,but they would have to be pretty impressive to sell 5000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An OAP can get in for £10 per game, so it would be pointless them buying a ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was that if the full adult ST is the same as 12 games then the OAP ST should be the same as 12 games at OAP prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamains Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 An OAP can get in for £10 per game, so it would be pointless them buying a ST. They have oap season tickets as well. Around £158. I'm guessing that's been reduced as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm not renewing unless they reduce the kids tickets by 20% as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 ... I do think the plus VAT thing is a bit of a disincentive though, flat £200 is tempting, ... £240 is a reduction of about 27%. It highlights the big chunk the Government takes, or you could see it that you're being given a shirt equivalent to the Government's chunk, bringing the real cost to £200. It's that sort of twisted logic that helps me keep the Faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laticacid Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I had to give up my st this year, mate kept his but can't face going at the moment, too depressing, sure he s not alone . Bet they would come back if we just went for it every week, we re losing anyway , I'd rather lose 5 4 and see some entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandlatic1 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 i think its a great idea! i for one would certainly take that offer up, not been able to go this year through new job commitments - does the interview only mention adult ST prices or are childrens ST prices coming down aswell??
