MattK 3,447 Posted May 2, 2015 You do enjoy a whinge! Either decide to go before the day & pay a fiver or wait to see if you are in the mood & pay the full price, your choice. But that's not going to help attract new fans, which surely is the point of any offer? The only people who will buy tickets in advance are regular fans who would have paid full price anyway and if anyone turns up on the gate having seen the offer on the web site will be disappointed by having to pay full price. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted May 2, 2015 I can't believe the moaning going on about this. The promotion should be praised for this and not people picking over it looking for fault. Well done Swindon - glad to see them leading the way on this. With the title favourites in town and on the telly, it should generate a healthy crowd and come across well to television viewers. C'mon the Robins 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon the Robins Swindon already got stung a few seasons ago by offering a similar discount on GroupOn and openly admitted it was only regular fans who purchased the discount tickets. Now they are doing the same thing again? Five pound entry is a great offer, but heavily promote it in the run up to the meeting and then offer it on the gate. Why force people to buy tickets in advance? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe depends how well it has been advertised? And every regular fan needs to give all their mates and family who may be interested the heads up!

C'mon the Robins I don't think people are moaning. just thinking of how a great offer could be done more effectively. I see a reason given on the Robins Facebook page for selling tickets in advance was so they knew how many programmes to print. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted May 5, 2015 I for one was interested in heading down to Swindon as it was only a fiver. The problem is its likely i won't know if I can go until close to the day of the meeting. So after reading this I've already decided not to attend and I'm going to watch it on Sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reliant Robin 492 Posted May 5, 2015 Maybe they know this already and are struggling with cash flow at the moment? I can't imagine any new supporters would benefit from this. I think if they were struggling for cashflow then they probably wouldn't discount quite so heavily in the first place! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,636 Posted May 5, 2015 If the printing and sale of a few programmes is an issue, it shows just how finely balanced the finances are - at all clubs!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratton 1,491 Posted May 6, 2015 Really looking forward to tomorrow night Belle Vue have put together a nice looking side.But with Swindon Town having there first leg Play/off game on the same night, i believe the crowd could be poor i hope i am wrong.
