Torquay United Fans Forum

So, what has happened about the STH's idea I put forward a year ago and has been raised again? SFA! If it's capacity issues (cough) 2,150 for Barnet would beg to differ. Come on TUFC, get your fecking act together!!

The "12 for 10" offer for local Saturday football teams. Sure I saw it on the OS a while back...

You have me confused Nick, what offer ? Had a look on the O/S and H/E website , i cant see one.

Clued up? I suggested this idea to the club a year ago. Better late than never I suppose.

Agree Steve the club are pretty clued up on these things, where i do not agree , the club are not in any way clued up on how to advertise promotions, as ive said before we have around 2000 diehard fan's who will allways look at the O/S and read the Thursday herald.

It's getting the imformation out to floating fan's and possible new fan's where the club falls down, that said i am delighted with what A.Candy has posted because it suggest's that the club are going to be more visible.

Because it's no good what so ever having promotions and offer's if the right peiople do know about them.

Cheers A Candy.

I always thought our club was pretty clued-up about this kind of thing, despite what others may say. Good to hear that suggestions are being listened to and considered as options to get more people into Plainmoor!

Hi Mid Devon
As promised I have spoken to the Chairman who was supportive of your idea about season ticket holders bringing a friend half price and would be happy to introduce this next season when there is not the same capacity issues in the Family Stand. Its a shame we could not introduce it sooner but as you will be aware the Family Stand sells out for each game and we cannot introduce a scheme just for Popside season ticket holders. Simon is keen to consider any ideas on ticketing, special deals especially with next season in mind.
Watch this space (well the OS) for news on half price season ticket deal coming very soon.
Thank you again for your ideas.
Regards,
Andrew

Thanks Mid Devon, I will pass on your ideas to the Chairman.

or at least they could do a discount for all kids, so if my dad whos 72 brings me then i get in for kids prices even tho i'm 45!! it should still count!!

mates discount, 4 come and only pay for three, anything to get more people inside plainmoor.

"stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."

Sorry Andy i think thats a bit general. Im a student and get very limited parent support, so my income is a student loan and summer work. equalling roughly 10000 a year, add student house rent which is roughly 300 a month each. we arent all the rich toffs many assume. So to get a break of a 5er per game is welcome, otherwise there would be many students not attending games.

A bit harsh about the young uns Bix! But completely agree with the student discounts, when i was at Lincoln Uni a few years ago i had a student card admittedly but i had more spare money as a student than if i were working on min wage. It was madness. What about blokes who are out of work and want to go to the games but don't get a discount? What about people on low incomes under a certain threshold getting reductions? Bloody students, their parents have got loads of money so they can afford to give it to their kids can't they?

bloody kids, why not charge those little bastards £17 for a change and let us adults, who pay taxes, drink beer in the bar etc, in for a fiver!! and dont get me started on students!!

Do we know wether the kids for a pound voucher in the herald generated much interest?

Andrew,
If you do persuade the board to go with the idea of season ticket holders inviting a guest, I have a futher suggestion to encourage season ticket holders to bring someone along.

Perhaps you could take one of the vouchers from the season ticket book and then hold a half time draw. Maybe offering the season ticket holder a £20 gift voucher for the club shop?

Just a thought to add some interest?
