No, because the STs can buy for the non STs - and for each other. Whereas the idea is to bring in home fans who are not season-ticket holders, and it cannot be used to benefit season-ticket holders, with the away season ticket holders they can presumably buy for each other, so their season-ticket holders will benefit directly (and Charlton not at all, as there is no likely repeat visit).shine166 said:

Unless the rules have changed it’s not necessary either.

The free ticket deal will probably mean a home sell out and the need to take some of the Jimmy Seed stand surely.Airman Brown said:

So what? If it means a Barnsley fan who might not have been able to afford it can now do so, good.Airman Brown said:

Fine, if that’s the objective. I assumed it was to encourage home supporters to attend, which is about generating revenue in the medium term, not just giving it up at one game.Redskin said:

The home support really isn’t going from 16,500 against West Brom to 24,000 for Barnsley.MuttleyCAFC said:

You assume correctly, and that Barnsley fans are afforded the same deal is a happy by product. Don't be such a misery guts.Airman Brown said:

It just doesn’t make any real sense other than to boost the number of seats filled in the south.
im convinced this is HEs first visit and they simply want to fill the ground for it.13 -

Probably first of many glory boys who'll sign up now we're rich3 -
If we sign a player or two, Bowyer signs a contract, or Taylor, or beat Fulham you might be surprised.Airman Brown said:

Is that supposed to be a riddle ?
I cant see the difference and how it supposedly benefits Barnsley more. If a season ticket holder buys a ticket for someone that usually attends on a match to match basis.. that's not improving return customers either, in fact the club lose out.0 -
I'm doing that myself, as then pensioner next to me buys on a match basis as he doesn't like evening games (too cold!)shine166 said:Airman Brown said:

Feel the club has stitched up our own fans here by offering away fans a deal yet half season tickets or valley gold have been offered nothing4

Yea i really don't understand giving Barnsley an excuse to bring more fans. I'm sure his excellency would rather a Charlton win than a packed out away end.0
-
They were not likely to bring more than 700-800 IMO, even if they double that with this offer, still not a full Jimmy seed, plus the club gets a knock on benefit of any extra programmes, food and drink sold, minimal admittedly, but the PR alone is worth more.ChiAddick said:Yea i really don't understand giving Barnsley an excuse to bring more fans.

All I hope for is the 3 points!2

I'm not sure that there will be that many more Barnsley fans. It may just mean that those that attend pay far less for tickets.ChiAddick said:Yea i really don't understand giving Barnsley an excuse to bring more fans. I'm sure his excellency would rather a Charlton win than a packed out away end.0
