Latics and England Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Only 4 days left to get a season ticket before adult prices increase by 33%. I suspect that the recent upturn in form will increase the number of people who will renew but there are clearly some very difficult decisions for people to make. Reports suggest that numbers are down materially on last year so it must be the case that there are many hundreds of us who either haven't decided whether to renew or are purposefully leaving it to the wire before doing so. I can see both sides of the argument. I strongly disagree with a lot of what is going on at the club and see buying a ST as accepting such things. On the other hand, if sales are low that would legitimize reducing the playing budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 By giving up a season ticket Id be giving up a habit of a lifetime. Im going to be limping in buying one Im not sure Im ready to go completely cold turkey on Latics just yet. But while Im happy to see the team performing as it has at the moment Im not optimistic about next season whichever division we are in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am renewing four tickets this week otherwise I will end up spending more watching on iplayer. I live in hope that the trust can get some engagement with the owners.

Omar Don't Scare Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I've not been since Scholes left and haven't missed it at all. Having had a season ticket for approaching 30 years I'll stick to my guns and pick and choose next season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Any update on season tickets? Even if theres nothing to extend the deadline, theres been nothing on the website to say its the final day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the deadline isn't extended there will be very few sold after today so you would think we'd have been being blitzed with reminders for at least the last week.

When we were there my 2 boys were 14 and 12 in 2008. Cycling was a passion and fishing. We tended to incorporate these. I would say just take in the beauty and tranquility of the place, you will be back in the rat race before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcshuck Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Absolute joke. Why would the club say one thing and do another? Those who were worried the early bird discount period was going to end, went out of their way to raise the funds required to get a ST as loyal fans and yet now the discount is just extended. What about the interest these fans could have got with the money in their bank or the extra time needed to raise the funds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a sensible thing to do Marco might want to think about that because people are voting with their feet and its probably to do with him.
