3pointsWAZZOCK3points Hmm, the cynic in me immediately thought cash flow issues as it is very early to be doing renewals. And the price reduction just increases that concern for me as they are trying to get as many people to commit as soon as possible with excellent pricing (especially as my ticket in the ED went down last year as well)
You need to have a word with your cynicism, because all you've serve to do there is turn a very positive gesture from the club into something negative.
We are about three weeks earlier than normal, so it's hardly a massive change. Why does the club trying to get more fans in concern you out of interest? Surely this is exactly what they should be doing, and Is a continuation of the commitment they've shown over the last few years about trying to make watching football as affordable as possible?
I've worked with financially troubled companies for over 20 years. Early promotions of a standard priced product is a classic sign of cashflow issues. I hope I am wrong. I would have thought though, given our current position in the play-offs, they may have waited a little longer but I guess they can significantly increase the prices for any new ST holders.

Or is it more of a case of selling whilst price is inflated. With the carrot being dangled of possible promotion, whilst in reality it's fairly unlikely as not only could we still fall out of play off position we still would have the lottery of the play offs.
Hound done.
Extra 100 quid for early bird is a good saving. 750 for 4 of us for the season is great value to be honest, esp when they will undoubtedly throw in a few vouchers etc for the club shop
Worthwhile to ensure get decent seats every game, and have enjoyed this season a great deal, and think there is plenty enough in the squad to suggest next year should be good as well

Hard to see how the prices could be called inflated !
Surely this is just standard practice when a team is in with a chance of promotion ? Of course it assists cash flow but I suspect a football club is a rather different animal to companies the OP has worked with. Multiple deadlines, multiple possible outcomes.
The news coming from journalists that the takeover is still very much on also suggests that any idea this is some kind of panic measure is unlikely.

Sorry it should have read value not price.
It is standard practice. Cashing in when you're overvalued. I'm not knocking the club in the sightest mind.
The Reverend Didn't Cardiff do this a season or two back to pay off a loan?
Cashflow problems at the Mad?
genome People complain about attendances, club offers a great incentive, and people complain.

Maybe you should compare our ST prices with others in the league.. and then suggest we are over valued. If the club were cashing in they could easily have justified a price increase.
