391 tickets allocated and sold out for Norwich. What a joke! Can anyone help us to get four please? |  | | |  |

Whilst it was never going to be a massive away following, I'd rather the club take what would - in the great scheme of things - be a pittance of a loss in the cause of ensuring as many fans as possible can be there to support the team, rather than take the other option.
391 seems awfully low to set the bar. Far rather they'd stumped up for 1000 and taken the loss on any unsold. |
It seems highly unlikely that Norwich would have cordoned off only 391 seats so why not allow the rest of the seats in the away section go as pay on the day? The club know we've got a fair few exiles in the South East so 750 may not have been a bad shout , certainly better than the bizarre 391 figure |  |

That makes more sense. So many Jacks based/working in London. We could have easily sold 700 for this. | | | |

The irony of all this is that this was one of the fixtures involved in the Football Supporter's Federation campaign to encourage supporters to attend away games (reciprocal reduced prices)...
Probably best to avoid going overboard on the club without the facts, but it's difficult to understand the 391. As I said before it seems the club has underestimated in the cause of penny-pinching rather than 'risked' a small loss on this fixture to ensure everyone who wants to go can. |  |

How far in advance do the club have to decide the number they want?
I wonder if there could be some sort of online application beforehand through the official site, just so the club have some sort of idea as to how many tickets are going to be required. It may prove easier then for them to make a decent estimation of number required. For example if 800 people instantly show interest through a web form then it would be safe to say an allocation of 1000 or more will be the way to go. I cant quite see how best to do this, but surely there must be some way of them gauging our interest before we have to tell the other clubs how many tickets we want.
Or is it all decided before the season starts, in which case this would be useless and they just have to best guess it a long way ahead. |  | | |

Ridiculous.
Even with tickets unsold an outside agency would shift them in no time. |  |

Criticise as much as you want but saying 'and the millions they are sponging off us' ?
Sad. |
But extremely true and accurate. Supporters are getting very dissilusioned with the shocking way the club is ran and managed away from the the football field side of matters.
It was not just this band of brothers who saved our club and have spent thousands of pounds to keep them afloat. £3m each (if apparently correct) a hell of a lot of money to be taking out the club without some form of return to the rest of us.
Season ticket prices are far too high for our local area especially as a percentage of our revenue. People are getting priced out. I don't know you from Adam-John Langley, however, I've noticed you have an awful lot of tickets to sell over the past 2 seasons?
And don't anyone give me crap about supply and demand because people who really care about the club like myself will still be there to pick up the pieces when everything goes pear shaped. Like we were in the past. |  |

On a related issue, does anyone know what our allocation is for the Villa game on the 28th? |
1800.
rare saturday afternoon game, not too far and xmas holiday time |  | | |

Are you sure on 1,800 because that would be a disgrace. I have 4 tickets for he upper tier block P9 from studying the ground plan for this game on the Villa website this would suggest we are having a full allocation of around 3,000 of course I might be completely incorrect. We might have asked for and been allocated more tickets. I didn't purchase mine until general sale either. | |

You really should only post stuff like that if you actually know what you are talking about Jack. You seem to have noticed a lot which never happened. In the last 2 seasons, if I wasn't able to make the game (once or twice) I gave my ST to my brother. I think that is a very reasonable response to what you seem to be implying in your last paragraph.
And are you saying each member of the board has taken out £3m ? Saying 'if apparently correct' isn't enough when you say something like that. If you've heard this please explain where from. By all means criticise but, if you are going to say stuff like that accuracy is needed. | | | |

Phil, surely the Trust has a comment on this recent farce. |
Personal view is that the wrong call has been made. AFAIK Huw was not consulted on the decision on how many tickets to make which I would guess makes it a commercial decision taken by the commercial department.
(In fairness not every day to day decision will require ratification by the club board)
The club I do know have gone back and asked for more tickets but Norwich have already started to sell tickets in the next block to their own fans so there is no chance of more as I understand it.
In my view completely the wrong decision taken at outset and that view has been passed back through the channels that I have available (not that it will make any difference for this particular game)
Worth saying as well that the stories of everyone taking £3m each out of the club are just plain bollocks but that's another story |  | | |

Well, might be 3m in total soon enough ;)
If it seems that we turned down a further 400 tickets, that means we risked fans not being able to go for the sake of risking a paltry 8 grand. Poor show really. |  |

Both clubs couldt help at all. A mere four tickets was all that was wanted. Nothing could be done. Both parties decided to hang up and do there own thing. | | | |

The club made a bad call. An apology, and learn the lessons, would go a long way. We keep on making so many basic ones though. | |

Maybe. However now someone has clear responsibility over ticketing so should be judged and held to account accordingly. They're not unpaid anymore. | |

Probably not, but as per the Trust minutes, Dineen's appointment presumably at a decent whack is a recent one. We can discuss whether right to appoint in house or not, but I'm much more interested in getting things right for the future. | |

My personal view - Who the F*ck said everyone has taking £3m? These are stories and rumours of course and hear say but the running of the club is f*cking shocking, how much money has been taking by the leading directors as you seem to be the man in the know Sumbler? Trust ran club my arse. The club is inadequately ran and has outgrown itself. There are are too many mistakes being made and too many people becoming disillusioned and yes I could do better. And I mean in the commercial running of the club. [Post edited 7 Dec 2013 23:59]

Someone posted on here yesterday that everyone had taken £3m. Can remember who or on what thread but I read it.
It isnt a Trust run club and never has been. The Trust has a stake and a say in the running of the club but as a 21% shareholder can quite easily be outvoted on many occasions (and has been)
In terms of things could be run better - nobody has disagreed with that. I provided my view of the Norwich tickets littered with some facts as to what has been tried to be done to correct it but as I said the wrong decision IMO was made in the first place.
How much money has been taken out? The shareholders have taken £2m in dividends, the salaries paid are detailed in the club accounts which I do not have access to at this point in time as they are on my laptop | | | |
