Stranraer FC 2019-20 - heading for the big 150


Recommended Posts

Great news tonight about Andy Stirling. If Faz can get him anywhere near back to his best we’ll be on to something. 
 
Slightly disappointed with the other news tonight regarding season tickets. 
£180 for 14 games compared to £215 for 18 last season. 
£12.85 per game compared to £11.94 a game on last seasons. 
Add in that general admission this season is cheaper than last it makes it even worse value. 
In addition to this we’re a league below last with a manager who could only muster two league wins. 
 
Around £8000 raised by supporters in recent months. It would of been nice to see a thank you reflected in the price of the season ticket.  
No doubt this comes across as me being very tight, for the record I’ll be stupid or loyal enough still to pay it.


Are Season tickets on sale now?

Detailed realises from the club on this - 
 

The shorter season effectively ment reductions on season ticket could not be as much as usual with the outcome being its effectively just over one game free and we are aware that to some who know beforehand that they may miss games, it is not a cost effective as normal. The alternative as some clubs have taken the choice is not to produce season tickets for season 20/21.
The club to start up again will have to put a lot of time, effort and cost into this happening.It may well be a bus and individual cars are required for the squad and managementeven to attend games. Deep clean stadium pre-start will be in the region of 5K with ongoing cleaning cost to SFA covid awareness standard at a much higher cost than normal  measures. Marking ect for social distancing all have be put in place with hospitality, if allowed at all, cut dramatically. Then we have the real financial drain, if still the process, of player and backroom staff testing either once at £1500 a week or twice at £3000. All these factors while trying to give the manager a budget that allows him to put together a competitive squad that entertains and hopefully excites the fans all put together mean it is a huge juggling act for our tresurer to fund all aspects of the club

I didn’t realise this was the case.

Does anybody know which clubs aren’t doing season tickets?

So apparently the virus can only survive for a few hours on hard surfaces apart from in unused football facilities where it can survive for months emoji848.png

 

Even at that cost and the cost of testing for Covid at every league game we still have change from the £50000 grant every club received.

Imagine that  many fan's situations have or will change, so the initial outlay for season tickets may be beyond them now. How many would Stranraer usually sell ? Think the cleaning costs are being placed on clubs  (by government ruling) rather than a necessity that needs to be done regularly, as no ground can be 100% safe.
