General AGM Today - May 4th
- Thread starter Sarge
- Start date
Let us know anything you can, also a good question would be when are ST's going to be put on sale!
'Hiding' this info on here - there should be some very outline information on the Stadium plans going live on the club website late tomorrow
although not officially confirmed, Im not expecting ST prices to increase for next season( that doesn't mean 100% that they wont)- official lineseems to be the club have to wait until promotion/ relegation ( inc playoffs concluded) before ST prices & info are announced.
Cant see why myself, we know what league were playing in next season already, who else is in the same league shouldn't have any bearing on what OUFC are charging
club are aware of a plethora of things that could be ( hopefully will be) done better- there's being some of the topics raised under the must do better heading- promotional side, marketing, fans forums/ fan engagement, STs, replica Kit availability pre season, A pre season open day was mentioned too, even dead pidgeons in south stand upper ( and bird s**t), among other points - hopefully they'll walk it like they talk it and improve in all areas

Well done @Sarge , I too am puzzled as to why there should be any delay in announcing season ticket prices. @OUSP Secretary and @OxVox should both have been consulted by now and some sort of consensus agreed so, why delay?
Mention of improving marketing and comms is all contrary to not announcing ST prices, surely?

I was planning on a BBQ section but apparently, that contravenes ground regs. Damn shame, beer can pigeon sounded wonderful.

If prices aren’t going up then why delay?
League 2 play off is May 28th and the League 1 play off is May 29th.
Are they really going to wait long? By which time our season has been finished for 3 weeks, the feel good factor won’t be as high as it is now.
I might be the only one but I feel they are taking it for granted having a sell out this Sunday! They should feel very very lucky to get 8K let alone 10k after this season. To then not even maximise marketing opportunities and merchandise sales is very short sighted to say the least.
they were earlier

I'd have thought Bakrie and whoever else was over would've stayed on for the AGM.
Shame their presence wasn’t used to facilitate a fans forum!
he wasnt there ( nor was the 'new' Spin doctor Promotional chap- prior engagement apparently)
it was rather pointedly raised that a FF had been promised, yet the last game of the season is only a few days away & there hadn't been one

And the response was?
Probably something like they've got to wait for the other teams to have theirs first before we can have ours .... The shambles around ST is puzzling this football club just takes its fans for granted they just expect we will turn up because it's what we do
too long winded to remember word for word
like most topics raised the response was basically holding their hands up admitting things hadn't gone as planned on & off the field , and that things would be improving in all areas
Actions speak louder than words let's see if they can walk the walk and talk the talk .. I think the saying goes

I hope the board are making a detailed list. They might forget some of the problems, there have been more than a few.
i m sure if they do forget, they will be reminded

I think the engagement from the club and supporters panel has been quite poor re ticket pricing.
In the supporters panel April update there was an option to contact them re your views. It was easy to miss and the tweet highlighting that update only received 2 retweet’s and 1 like. I genuinely missed the request for feedback.
I think there should have been polls on our thoughts re pricing, a really loud invite for feedback etc.
For what it’s worth I think most season ticket prices offer really great value for money, and with the additional costs the club will have seen I wouldn’t begrudge an increase in some season ticket prices. For me it’s the on the day ticket prices that need to be kept up in check..

@Sarge you say they were there earlier, but are you sure?
Was "Grant's" voice slightly out of sync with the movement of his lips or did he hold a handkerchief over his mouth when he spoke? I bet he didn't speak. I bet he just thrust his chest out, stomach in and did that gurn he does for photos?
Was there any flexibility in "Grant's" joints? Did "his" legs bend when "he" "walked" or did it seem like "he" was on a trolley being wheeled about by an unseen hand? Had "he" remembered to put down his clubs?
Did "he" enter through a closed door? I bet "he" wasn't shaking hands apart from with them that were in on the trick. I fear you missed the opportunity to poke your finger through "his chest", which is unfortunate. Never mind.

Supplementary question: did you feel any reassurance that reminding them will make a blind bit of difference?

That sounds fantastic.
Agreed on that, it beggars belief that they are fannying on. Again!
Once that final whistle goes, so many people will be on the beach in all senses of the word. I know after the cricket season ends and I've packed my gear away and done my end-of-season wrap up (and the AGM is done), there is absolutely knacker all from anyone for months.
he did have 'a bit of a cold'

Huge opportunity lost if they don't put season tickets on sale immediately.
We should have 10,000 fans at the match on Sunday, we will hopefully be finishing with 3 straight wins in front of a big crowd with a feel good atmosphere, and there is renewed optimism after our fighting finish.
We should be sending out emails to everyone on the database on Sunday afternoon - prices held if you buy in May etc...... - to strike while the iron is at its hottest.
Here's hoping the powers that be really are committed to an improved commercial/marketing/communications strategy because it is very much in the club's financial interests!

Early bird deals should be the first thing.
