Trust – “Keep Fans Coming – Drop The Prices”
Written by Foxes Trust Board   
Friday, 09 May 2008

Foxes Trust Press Release … for immediate use 

In the days since Leicester City were relegated to the third tier of English league football for the first time in it’s 124 year history, the Foxes Trust Board has been gauging opinions on whether fans will renew Season Tickets to watch League 1 football. 

Trust Chairman, Ian Bason, said “From the feedback received so far it’s seems as though over half of the current Season Ticket holders will not renew unless prices are reduced” 

Trust Board Member Alan Digby explained “We have carried research into what other League 1 clubs are charging for early renewals and very few have the top priced Season Ticket prices above £400, while the average lowest Season Ticket price available in League 1 last year was just over £300” 

Digby also criticised the introduction of a monthly £4 administration fee for fans choosing to pay over an extended period “The club is missing the point that with the financial belts being tightened that many fans simply can’t afford a single upfront payment, therefore the Direct Debit scheme spreading the cost enables them still to remain Season Ticket holders, however the fee being introduced is way in excess of what administering the scheme would cost the club” 

Expanding on their concerns, Bason said “We don’t want the ground to be one third full, and to enable various promotional activities to take place on a match by match basis, Season Ticket prices have to fall to ensure they are clearly financially beneficial to fans” 

The Foxes Trust therefore proposes the following changes to early bird pricing….

This year Season tickets frozen next year will they be free?
Written by Matt Davis   
Thursday, 24 April 2008

In a week when our Chairman agrees (subject to the as yet unknown small print) to freeze season tickets, here (in a 2 part interview) are the views held by another Championship Club Chairman, Barry Kilby of Burnley, who goes as far as saying that if they get promoted next season they will give Season Ticket Holders a free Premiership Season Ticket ... read on:

Burnley Supremo Barry Kilby talks free footy and the perils of parachute payments

Burnley Chairman Barry Kilby talks over-paid players, parachute payments and fans watching football free of charge. And Turf Moor’s top man tells tfs’ Jez Robinson precisely why, like the majority of his Championship counterparts, he wants Watford and Charlton Athletic to win promotion back into the Premiership this season. 

Being Chairman of a football club in the cash-strapped Championship can prove a pretty unenviable task. Especially when the majority of your local rivals are reaping the rewards of the Premiership and you have to put your hand in your own pocket just to make ends meet. After too long spent watching your neighbours’ exploits in the manner of a kid peering through the window of a sweet shop which is displaying a “Closed” sign, you’re beginning to wonder exactly when the doors of wonderland will be opened.  

To wonder, in truth, just whether or not they’ll ever be opened to you at all. The passing of each year renders both you and a committed, passionate support – the legacy of the club’s long and proud history rather than a productive recent past – increasingly desperate to join your near neighbours in the Premiership. As they’ve frolicked amid the plentiful revenue streams of the Promised Land, your frustrations have been compounded further by the knowledge that you’re barely even competing with them on a level playing field anymore. 

But try telling that to those success-starved supporters, who it is imperative you keep attracting through the gates, despite the wall-to-wall live football on the pub telly. And the fact some of the top flight clubs on your doorstep can sometimes afford to provide their fans with Premiership football at prices lower than those you are charging your own supporters to watch second-flight games……
