    Re: Good luck selling season tickets after that display

    Taking yesterday's result out of the equation and focusing on season ticket sales I think our club, and every EFL club, needs to consider how easy it is to watch any game legally online provided it doesn't fall between the protected time of 3pm to 5pm Saturday.

    A season ticket option which allows for attending and online viewing would be a good way of maintaining income whilst allowing supporters the choice to travel to the ground or not to watch the game.

I would suggest that them (and you) take a look at the league table when Morison took over as full manager - we have got 31 points from 22 games since and back in November were in 20th place, three points above the bottom three. We are now 17 points above. That has been achieved with a number of inexperienced academy prospects, a couple of shrewd loans and basically the squad that was here at the beginning of the season and got us in to trouble in the first place. Those are not grounds for calling for the managers head and abuse. Anyone who does that needs to learn to ‘man up’ and take the defeat.
      perhaps the shouting was born out of frustration of the inept performance right in front of them. Why do you think fans should not be able to criticise and vent their anger? That's a rather odd position to adopt.

        I couldn't even finish my post match drink. I just wanted to get home.

        it was a farce of a shambles.
        No, it was a good example of a shambles.

          As you probably well know, there is a big difference between criticising (or showing anger) and shouting vile personal abuse, particularly at young players or the manager. It could finish a young players career before it started. How you you feel if Steve Morison came up to you in the street and shouted vile abuse about you and your family straight in your face ?

There were hundreds of people in a slow-moving queue outside gate 3 at kick-off. Eventually the stewards let anyone with a season-ticket card enter through gate 2, but we were already 1-0 down by the time I got to my seat. This didn't happen in 2018/19 when we had crowds of over 30,000 for pretty much every game.
            I guess it's because people turn up at the last minute.

              And that didn't happen before this season?

              I'm wondering if it's because of mobile tickets. Every other person using one seems to need multiple attempts to get through the turnstiles.

                I’m in a privileged position where this hopefully won’t be a choice I’ll have to make. There will be many who will start to have to think about how they cut their cloth. After yesterdays embarrassing debacle I can see many choosing not to renew.

                  💯 On the way out my anger got the better of me and screamed to Morison that it was a f’ing embarrassment. Nothing personal but factually accurate. By no means do I think players deserve vile personal abuse but **** me, if people are happy to sit back and accept that performance yesterday with little to no repercussions then we may as well give up any hope of progressing as a club.

                    all that could well be true, but while its disappointing, its certainly not hurt me in anyway, its a game of football being played by a bunch of well paid blokes, maybe in the old days it might have effected me, but it certainly doesn't now

                      I soon forgot about it having work Saturday night. Woke up Sunday afternoon and the initial anger had completely gone. I respect others will be different as well, but for me there's a bigger picture than this game.

                      I don't like how we lost though, but I already don't really care that we lost any more than any other game this season. I've backed Morison but the tactics were wrong and he really needs to stop hiding, I'm not really one to get up in arms about his press conferences and think some people take them way too seriously but he really does have to come out and explain this one.

                          Exactly, it's like trying to get into Fort Knox this season and when you finally get in you find they've moved all the goal out!

                            I really don’t feel that progressing from downright awful to just awful is worthy of celebration.

                              Was that a typo in terms of "goal" or was it a clever play on the fact that we don't score in this fixture - if so it still needed an "s" on the end 👍
