How Will the Credit Crunch Hit Football?

0
The financial storm is not over yet but at the moment, within the Premiership at least, the top clubs are sitting pretty while smaller clubs in less prosperous areas have to be more innovative in their response. Watching football at the top level either live or on television isn't cheap at a time when incomes are being squeezed. Click to continue reading...

Cheese and Whine: Season Ticket Holder Issues

1

I stole this image from a Flikr stream created by "thisguyprints". I hope he doesn't sue me.

A few weeks ago I took out my frustration with the 2008 season on the Galaxy front office, sending a lengthy e-mail to my season ticket rep and laying out my conditions for renewal. I turned that e-mail into this post from September 10th.

Ealing Gazette - Yann Tear - QPR ticket price probe
Rs could face u-turn pressure over pricing
QPR could be forced into an embarrassing climbdown over their newly-announced ticket price hike.

I Think I May Date RSL's Stadium Until Red Bull Arena Is Ready to Commit

1
You know the one thing that was missing from the RSL stadium advert I posted yesterday, currently the all time sexy MF of MLS stadium porn? The stage end of the park. That's probably because it was still under construction but I ain't mad at that since they were smart enough to fill out their stage area with removable seating, something that Pizza Hut Park & Toyota Park failed to do that will make this place feel as intimate as your lady's special Valentine's Day apparel.

Lessons

Alexi Lalas was let go yesterday and it reminded me of an email exchange we had when he was first named general manager of the San Jose Earthquakes in 2004.

i offered him some unsolicited advice about running an MLS team, because the front office side of MLS was new to him and we both were under the AEG umbrella. Click to continue reading...

United having a little difficulty selling season tickets?...

1
With only a few weeks to go before the big kick-off as the new season approaches and coming off the back winning the Champions League and the Premier League it seems incredible that the Reds have yet to sell all their season tickets, but that is the case as the club have been reduced to informing their supporters via mailshot that they have a "limited number of one year season tickets" available.

From Bad to Worse: Pro Soccer in Toronto in the '90s

5
What a difference a decade makes. In July 1997, the A-League's (now the USL) newly-formed Toronto Lynx joined their fellow Canadian clubs in the top seven spots in the table, yet could only attract 1500 fans a game to watch them in Varsity's cavernous stadium. Ten years later, 14 000 season tickets would be sold at BMO Field before Toronto FC even kicked off their inaugural season. Click to continue reading...

EDITORIAL: Why MLS WILL Probably Eventually Adopt Promotion and Relegation

This is in response to the editorial below. We at MLSR are not of uniform opinion on this and this writer strongly disagrees. Here is why.

Today MLS Commissioner Don Garber is expected to announce a firm expansion plan which would include 20-24 clubs.

The question is this: Once MLS has 24 clubs what does it do with the other investors who might want in? Click to continue reading...

Hmmm. Just watched the highlights of the Sydney v Roar match (SBS TV Sunday afternoon - free TV). I know people don't put much stake in this cup, but it is important for clubs selling their season tickets.

Frustration boiling over but we're in first place!!!!

0
OK last night was an emotional roller coaster. The one time I manage to lose my ticket stub between the gate and E38, RES staff won't let me in. They wouldn't let in the FCB either, even though they had been assured that their tickets would be fine. It's one thing if stadium staff check EVERYONE, but to single out one or two groups of people is nothing short of discrimination. Click to continue reading...

To Buy Or Not to Buy Season Tickets

1

By John Nicholson

Being a season ticket holder is sometimes held as a symbol of a fans commitment to a club. When you are prepared to invest so much money, upfront, it is an act of faith in the club. It says you care.

The clubs have always been quick to tell us that they want everyone to get their season tickets as soon as the old season ends so that they have money to use in the transfer market. Click to continue reading...
