Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 My deal is up this year and I have no interest in taking another 5 year deal. With our without a get out clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33845 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Why in this day and age people are still persisting with ST's is beyond me especially with our owner in charge of things and his propensity to piss us all off. Even if you don't want to jack it in completely in protest you can always vote with your feet and send him and the outside world a message. It's easier to not go to a game if you haven't already paid up front. Ask yourself why these deals are in place and why they keep getting better/cheaper? Why is the club now desperate to tie you in to an even cheaper deal where you can't back out? If people payed on the gate or bought tickets on a game by game basis they might find their hand is strengthened at least a bit more than it already is. (For every expensive derby ticket price there's cheap one off prices v Swansea etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand the need for having a ST in the days of Keegan's entertainers but nowadays it's simply not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Whey, it's cheaper if you are going to go to EVERY game regardless, so cancelling would only put more money in the coffers and cost you as a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fan who will go EVERY game regardless I can understand, (although being tied in for five years with no get out clause makes me wonder if the fan would consider himself recession proof or whether the fan would still go if we re-named the club Newcastle Sportsdirect and played in red white and blue?) Anyone else, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 But your tied to it for 5 years and as the article states your going to be knackered if your financial status changes and cant afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33845 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 They seem pretty keen on a full stadium and seem ok with knocking down the prices to accommodate this even though this could have/is having a detrimental effect on the pathetic revenue streams the club has enjoyed under our owner.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We'll buy 3 or 4 players in the summer and the stadium will be full of people paying top whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Whey, it's cheaper if you are going to go to EVERY game regardless, so cancelling would only put more money in the coffers and cost you as a fan.This is pretty much me. As stupid and illogical as it may be, I really can't see myself ever stopping going so if I can get it cheaper I might as well. I've had a season ticket since well before Hall and Shepherd turned up so it's not like I got it to make sure I could get every ticket in the first place because it was piss easy to get them back then. As for what happens if someone can't afford it, realistically what are they going to do to force you to pay for it? People default on loans and credit cards and the like all the time. If banks and huge lending companies can't force you to pay, I doubt Newcastle United can. Edited March 17, 2014 by David Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would imagine you'd be able to cherry pick games next year. I'd end up buying a ticket to every game, unless there was a properly organised boycoutt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
