Bagpuss Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Why isn't killer riding? Is he still injured or picking and choosing his meetings? Admin error on Swindon's part apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 can we get to the play offs using guests.... I have a sneaky suspicion that AM will not be back on these shores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good promotion for Coventry visit when we are on Sky £5 entry. If the place is packed for what should be a great meeting this may show other clubs what they need to do when Sky are showing a meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the place is packed for what should be a great meeting this may show other clubs what they need to do when Sky are showing a meeting. Absolutely - couldn't agree more. Should have been insisted upon when Sky first got involved. Admin error on Swindon's part apparently. One assumes they forgot to submit/confirm the redeclaration?! So Doyle must be guesting for AM as there would be accusations of cheating if it were for PK who hasn't ridden a meeting yet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Doyle guesting for Adrian. He wouldn't be able to guest for Kildemand as his average is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTokio Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Seems Rosco has taken the blame for PK not being there. We still won so no drama thankfully http://totalswindonsport.com/2015/04/rosco-holds-his-hands-up-but-delighted-to-end-hellish-day-with-a-win/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note - It was mentioned at the meeting tonight that this £5 entry is only valid for people buying the tickets in advance of the meeting and that on the night the price would be as normal. This is not made clear in the notification on the web site, so get your tickets in advance or keep an eye on any future notifications.

I'm hoping to travel to this meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people wait to see what the weather is like before deciding to go, and this may affect things. Says on the website: "Tickets can be bought in advance for the meeting from the stadium and in outlets around the Swindon area." That rules out the Coventry fans then! And possibly me too.

I did ask about this last night - they'll also be available online at £5. At a fiver it's worth a punt on the weather in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's maximising the potential for getting a big crowd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Maybe. I don't think it's maximising the potential for getting a big crowd though. If it only rules out those that would rather wait to see what the weather is like then maybe it is. Big incentive to buy beforehand and if the tickets are readily available at the next couple of meetings, online and at other outlets then fair play in my opinion. More than what most other Clubs do for a televised meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than what most other Clubs do for a televised meeting. And it rules out people who migt decide to go on the day, which is normally my own remit. Ok, maybe I'm saying this stuff because it makes me, personally, less enthusiastic about it. But if it does that with me, then maybe it does that with others too. What they should do is have someone outside offering £5 tickets to people who are queuing, in case people don't have them. Then you won't get people turning up thinking they are getting in for a fiver and having to pay £17 instead, therefore going home feeling cheated. Still a good deal though. I'm probably sounding far more negative about it than I should do! Don't want people to think i'm a whinger, because well done to Swindon for trying something!! We often do promotions for Sky matches and I think it's a good thing. Edited May 1, 2015 by grachan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Its about wanting to attend or not? Its like taking a flight or a holiday - you know 100% that there will be people on that flight/holiday that have paid a cheaper or different price. It doesn't stop you going if you really want to.

No, but it stops you going on the day if you were thinking of going because it costs a fiver. Which is the point. To maximise the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I see Gracans points. Personally I'll be paying the fiver in advance (which is £5 more than they would have got if it was normal prices as I'd have stayed at home and watched on tele). But surely the average floating fan is NOT going to have the inclination to go online and book tickets. All that is going to happen here is that 80-90% of those buying tickets will be those who would have gone anyway. If you're "meh" enough to not be going for £17 because it's on Sky you're going to be "meh" about going online before the meeting. This should be an opportunity to drag many locals who have always said, "£17?! £17?! I'm not paying that" by telling them it's £5. So yes, good idea but IMO, poorly executed. Why not just let people in for £5 on the day? Even £7 so there some intensive to buy online if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on if it's a fiver on the gate I will go ...just can't be assed to book on line . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
