I don't think they're the slam dunk you suggest, there were definitely tickets freely available for Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal at home last season 24 hours before the game, and that's with 22,000+ STHs, we won't have anywhere near that many next season it seems.
Oh and as there'll be fewer than 1,000 of these, maybe they can offer them a bespoke experience as the ticket office won't exactly be run off their feet
NFL teams get what though, 8 guaranteed home games a season? And pretty much all their teams cover an absolutely gigantic area in terms of population and geographical size.
Building on a tangent... chatting to a taxi driver in Madrid a couple of weeks back and, as we were staying near the old Calderon (and I often end up talking about it anyway), he quickly got on to Atleti. I didn't lead the witness, it takes long enough to explain who the hell Wolves are at the best of times, but his story was a classic. Used to go as a season ticket holder, took his kids and met his mates. Not been since they went to the Metropolitano as prices went through the roof and, although you can get tickets as a non-member, they're so dear he can't justify it now. Was quick to say they'd rather have fewer people, literally often tourists, going at 100 euros a pop than him and his mates.
You surely understand the point I'm making and that this is clearly why Shi is undertaking this strategy?
It won't be anyway as any increase is minor in comparison to TV Income. Its a cunts trick and should be called out for what it is.
I do understand mate, I don't think it's going to cause our income to drop through the floor. I also don't think there'll be anything like a spike that's anything more than a rounding correction in our accounts, in a best case scenario. So it's all been for nothing, all you've done is annoyed people and driven away people who've been going for decades.
I've called him a cunt every day for quite a few days now
Not as many as that, look at Brentford in February (we were losing anyway too when Toney scores so some idiots will have sloped off early to watch I dunno, Police Camera Action at home or something)
Two of us were counted in at least seven of those games and we weren’t even there. Add in plenty of other STH who didn’t attend and resell their tickets and those numbers are bollocks.
I agree, but there'll be plenty of local glory hunters who will pay loads for a ticket for those games if they are aware they're available.
That's Shi's strategy, yes.
