Noodles Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Got an email from rye house saying unfortunately they won't be able to differenitiate who's paid and who's hasn't so can't drop the price and also that this meeting was in place first. Shame some on the ball promotors would of seen that problem and rather of had money in their pocket Oh dear, that's me and 3 others not going then. Attended the Peterborough v Berwick/Plymouth PL double header last August with the other half who's a Bandits fan. I believe we paid £22 each. Can any Panthers fan direct me to where I can claim a refund as we left after the Berwick half of the meeting. Thanks Send an email to Mick Horton (good luck with that).

bdjfan Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 That makes nine!! Shads were you rushing back home to watch your own team in the evening at 7-30pm then? That's what we're all going on about as Peterborough have a meeting against Ipswich at the Showground in the evening so we can't stay at Rye to watch their double header. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 So Rye house would rather have zero panthers fans at 20 instead of however many paying 16. Times must be really good down Rye house way, they are so lucky to be in a position to be turning paying customers away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 DONT get me wrong, I'm not moaning at Rye House promotion or anything, end of the day, you run your business how you want, but if was me, I'd rather have fans coming in for something, rather than not coming at all. Think for next season, EVERY team in the league, should do a deal, where if your a season ticket holder, you get 20% of when you go away with your team of entrance, that way, you will get an atmosphere, you will get fans coming through the doors that you might not have, it's a win win deal for everyone.

bdjfan Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 For Peterborough fans begrudge paying out £20 and walking away think the promotion could have sorted something out!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your club don't offer season tickets? What if they do and you can't afford, or don't wish to shell out £250+?There have been double headers at Rye House for years and people moaning about them for years. I remember fans of an NL side being allowed in after the first meeting at a reduced rate once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are, if your going to the away meetings, and quite a few, you own a season ticket, as your a dedicated fan. As you said in another post Shadders, every club does double headers, and majority of the time, there is someone that will lose out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thing is if away clubs did offer a reduction for other season tickets then a lot more may be bought in the first place!

Pantherman Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 What time would you have to leave Rye House to get back to Peterborough in time for the meeting? I am a Panthers fan but don't live near Peterborough, so have no idea how long it would take 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Remember the Peterborough match was only arranged on Friday I beleive? I would have thought if the promotion at Peterborough had any thought for their supporters they wouldn't have agreed to run on Monday night. But, Peterborough want to get as much money as they can this Easter coz like Rye House they're a business. I feel sorry for any Panthers fans who travel by public transport. Probably got a cheap rail ticket that's only available on a certain train on the way back. Peterborough won't in my opinion get as many fans as they would have had the meeting have run on Friday as originally arranged. But I guess there's a cut off date for these League Cup fixtures and the Showground is available Monday. £20 for two meetings is very good value for money and it will suite the vast majority of fans attending. Realistically I think for those Panthers fans who don't travel you'll miss a good meeting. Just think if this was an Elite League fixture you'd be paying around £20 for 15 races, every week. I think people like to moan at anything these days. But as the saying goes "you can't please all of the people all of the time!"

At the end of the day it's the individual's choice whether to travel or not. I can't help thinking that if they had a full strength team in form and it was a meaningful match to them they'd be here in their droves Edited April 5, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's £17 or £18 at every EL track. Someone above posted a simple solution, anyone wanting to leave after the first meeting gets a refund on the way out.
