On the Premier seats, Having 2,500 was daft/beyond.
They spent 2 yrs promoting them.

I agree with that if we got promotion this season the premier club would sell out.

One problem there lads... we need to get to the Premiership first! Remember Ridsdale spending Leeds money based on Champions League success? Seems like the same mentality here.

I reckon they make them normal seating for the second half of the season or maybe introduce reduced rates based on possible success e.g. if we get promoted they get 6 months free if they buy a seat now? Or something similar.

laughed in the guys face when he told me the prices and told him to look on the map as he was getting south wales confused with south kensington :lol:

So where did your Premier seating go wrong? By the sounds it was over priced or were there more complications?

Maybe if they'd have had less Premier seats and a few more up there priced more in keeping woth the rest of the stadium's prices, they may have been able to fill up a few more seats up there. It's certainly dry enough! As people have said, there's a recession and people can just about afford to come to games at normal prices. The lure of a free meal and a half time standing on carpet not concrete wasn't enough.

Yeah, I would say it's a simple problem of too expensive and too many of them. That's it.

On a similar note (my 100th post :lol: :lol: :lol: ) I have just finished reading DJ's autobigraphy and he says at the start of one of the later chapters that he and PR have sold £25m of players. Sounds like it's not just £2m we have lost

Imagine how much trouble we'd be in if we hadn't sold those players!

I see, as you probably say on here will probably only sell out if you reach the Premeirship, but that could possibly be not that far away so I would guess your board would be hesistant in under valuing them too early. Makes sense.
