I should have known this would soon sink to the bottom of this forum
Just renewed mine anyway
There was an earlier thread about this, but, there is no longer an option to merge threads.
I'll leave it to the very last minute, if I renew - I'm genuinely disenchanted by the club at present - due a series of poor decisions - plus, I'd rather earn interest on the money (nearly £3k).
It's not the money, I can afford it (where others can't) - it's the principle.
As I put in the original thread - I really do think this is a very poor move from Forest... the old sh1t sandwich approach of 'it's one of the cheapest prices in the EPL' (assuming we stay there - hope that doesn't come back to bite them!) and there are 10k people on the ST waiting list - an unashamed threat that 'if you don't renew, we have plenty waiting in the wings'.
Chuck in the safe standing bo11ocks for good measure!
The average 24% increase (according to T'Athletic), considering how poorly mismanaged NFFC have been is yet another smack in the face to those who have stood by this club through real adversity.... pandemic, L1 years etc etc - during a cost of living crisis.
Changing the price banding, so a full time, non working 'A' level student at 18 - pays an adult price!!!
These increases will price many out of renewing, which further increases the disconnect between the club and it's fans.
We went to Spurs away and I was amazed that a pint (decent one too) is 10% cheaper than the frothy half pint of sh1t served at Forest, the food is on a different level & also reasonably priced - especially, compared to our limited choice of burnt offerings!
There are so many ways that the experience at Forest could be improved, increasing revenue streams too, but this punch to the gut of many SC holders shows the direction of travel.
Apart from the odd game, the atmosphere at the WFCG is much worse, almost on a par with Chris Hughton's tenure and as I said, I really hope that this doesn't come back to haunt them.
Disappointed!
