View Full Version : Norwich game for a fiver
I was given a form at the football club monthly meeting last night.
All local junior clubs and schools have been sent an offer to take the team to a match.(Norwich on the 23rd)
It's only costing £5 for adults, £2 for under 16's and £1 for under 7's.
Question is, as my kids are doing pretty well this season, do they deserve to have this inflicted on them?

Don't know, but there's about 50 of us going from the local junior football team.
Good idea, although I can't beleive I've paid £5 on top of my ST to sit with the group.

After the dross served up the last few home games then asking a fiver is pushing it.
How are we ever going to attract new suppoters when we drive them away at such a young age!

The fact ST sales and crowds at the Molineux are well down already this season and are showing no signs of improving then along with football that produces little excitement the fight may already be lost.

Does anyone know if this is going to be offered to all!!

I think it's only for members of junior sporting teams and I'm led to believe that the teams will get half of the money back to go towards kit and equipment.
Well done Wolves!

Essex, serious question - why do you bother "supporting" Wolves if everything about the club annoys you so much?

The same reason that 90% of his disposable income goes on ball gags, presumably....

I think you could ask that question about most fans DW. I ask myself the question regularly, and as I trudge out of the Mol after another rubbish game I look around and see thousands of fans asking themselves the same question. And I've bet you've sat in the back of a car in the rain, in a traffic jam someone on the M6, coming back from some God-awful craphole like Bolton after watching a rubbish performance and asked yourself the same question.
If you could answer it, I'd think you'd go a long way towards anwsering the meaning of life.

We all get annoyed by things the club does, but not everything the club does as is the case with Essex.

When I was at secondary school some 10 years ago now we regularly got free tickets sent to the school for the John Ireland Lower which the school then flogged and made a bit of money on.

I see what you're saying fen, but I don't criticise everything the club does or whinge on and on and on about "freebies, loans and cast-offs". I don't understand what Essex Wolf gets out of supporting Wolves.
The second Wolves game I ever went to was because of a free ticket I got through school. It was also for the John Ireland lower, I think the club wanted to fill it because the game was being shown live on TV (versus Villa). I think it was only the 4th or 5th game ever shown live. I went with my dad's mate cos he was a season ticket holder and he persuaded the turnstile operator to let me into the John Ireland upper so I could sit next to him and be safe. A good move as I recall there was a bit of trouble in the free seats.

What do they do that annoys you?
I think that (like most in this division)the season tickets are too expensive.
I disagree with some of Micks team selections.
I'm annoyed that we have let our competitive advantage over our rivals slip over the last 10 years.
The scouting network and/or transfer policy of the last 10 years was foolhardy.
I'd rather pay £24 for a match ticket than £23 plus a £1 booking fee.
I think there should be more incentives (like the Norwich game) to get kids into Molineux.
I want a settled ownership of the club, and not the 'deal or no deal' bull$$$$ that we are currently faced with. I don't think Jez is seeking an alterniative owner as actively as he could because of a conflict of intrests, so somebody else should be charged with this task.
I think season ticket holders should be shown more thanks by way of reasonable discounts in the club shop, and for low priority away games.
The matchday tickets should be graded and priced accordingly.
Season ticket holders should still get the first cup game for free.
You see, I don't think the club is anywhere near perfect, but I don't feel the need to complain about every little thing the club does/doesn't do.

I agree with everything you've said to such a degree that its wound me up into a silent rage against the club just thinking about it. Especially the booking fee!

As I mentioned on a previous thread,I was charged a £5 'administration fee' when I purchased (with cash) my half season ticket on Saturday. What exactly does this fee cover?

Oh,that's alright then.
Yet my mate who paid with a credit card was charged exactly the same 'fee'. Something not quite adding up there...

that was for swiping his card and passing him the machine to put his pin no. in..
its to cover staff wages and overheads you know - as everyone says if it was £5 more for the ST you wouldnt complain btw I'm not diasgreeing with you that its annoying...

No I know,it's the way they point it out to you that's the annoying part.
As you say,if the price was £212 instead of £207,I wouldn't have started putting petty posts up on a messagboard moaning about a fiver.

It's not.
The 'admin' fees from season ticket/match day sales to my reckoning total no more than £125,000 - no where near the amount it would cost to run a ticket office. It is essentially a levy, there for no reason other than to increase profit.

Serious answer DW, because I love the club and will never change in terms of my support. I'm just sick of the current set up and the way things have gone/are going. The sooner Hayward leaves the better IMV.
Whilst I don't want the club to fall into the hands of someone who doesn't care at all I feel SJH and his set up has run its course.As long as they remain with their penny pinching save at all cost policy whilst selling the best players then any chance and hopes of success are limited, hindered in fact by the very people who are supposed to be doing their best for the club. IMV their best is bloody rubbish.
