Here we go, another mass negativity opportunity. Hardly think given the circumstances there will be many fantastically.
Some positivity though, cheap season tickets and free travel. Plus, someone with a plan, haveyhad one of them for a while.

Are we that needy that we have to feel valued? I personally couldn’t give a crap. I pay for my ST every year, I turn up to most home games. Sometimes we win and I enjoy it (not so much lately), sometimes we lose and it’s shite. The rest of the time it’s something inbetween, but there’s one constant which is that I’ll carry on going because I support the team, not because I feel more or less valued. Maybe it’s a modern thing and I’m old fashioned but I don’t turn up with any expectation of gratitude or reward for my loyalty.

Unless your earning 30-50k and feel it's good value for money? It's all relative really. And the plan? 😂I remember the 5 year plan 😂 |

Individually I don't feel valued but I don't need to be however collectively I think the actions of the club are bewildering at best. Fantastic gesture to freeze the ticket prices for as long as they have and the offering of free travel even though a lot of people on here hate the restrictions on it is still a brilliant offering.
However, those gestures don't detract away from the stone age thought process regarding card payments, the sound system (everyone complains about the tannoy) the lack of embracing new technology such as the digital tickets and don't get me started on the lack of pride and effort in the match streaming services.
Nothing feels cohesive about the club it's as if decisions are made by different people in a variety of departments, everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet.

I feel fully valued as a supporter. I know how much the owners who have kept my season ticket price for all the good times and the bad very affordable, and I'm sure they appreciate my regular support and full vocal singing throughout on a matchday, and good times and bad, I bloody love it and them for what they have given me over the last decade, something that over 10 years ago i never thought I'd see in my lifetime again.

Plus, someone with a plan, haveyhad one of them for a while. They need to keep the season tickets cheap and put on free travel or no fucker will bother going. Yeah that's negative all right but its bloody true. The club need to sort themselves out big time or things are going to get very bad over the next 18 months. |

And the plan? 😂I remember the 5 year plan 😂 There doesn't appear to be any plan that any Stoke fan is able to explain to me. So the communication from the club must be pretty dire in that case. Lets face it the club has become complacent and its fairly obvious to me that fans are low down the priority order. They have relied on the hardcore who turn up whatever but will start to realise there are a declining number of hardcore who are prepared to turn up watching our joke of a gutless team. |

And to be fair with all the TV money in the premiership the gate receipts make up only a small %age of turnover in any event. The irony will be that as the premiership money runs out the club will come under pressure to raise season ticket prices for watching worse and worse football. That's when you will see it all blow up in their faces. They need to get the house in order very quickly to put some hope back into the system. |

I’m not sure if Stoke can employ everyone on 30–50k a year though, but they do have a few wasters on 30-50k a week🙁. Now I guess I’m being a bit negative. |

Do we really need to be like the over paid pampered players and feel valued ?. Then again if you're paying hard earned money and not seeing a return on it then i am sure you are entitled to have a moan or two. Supporting your team is not like going to a restaurant where if you don't like what's on offer you go somewhere else. I suppose the value and lack of it i part of being a fan.

Name me another club that have frozen season ticket prices for 12 years? I cant off the top of my head. But it is very en vogue for clubs to be making a point of keeping prices the same. And the reason the premiership clubs particularly do this is because gate receipts pale into insignificance given the astronomical money the TV companies hand over to the clubs. Its not that big a deal that Stoke during their Prem tenure didn't raise prices. Not a big deal at all. If that's enough for you fair play, not for me. |

To be fair to the club they do a fair bit, good prices free travel for those that can tolerate an official coach . I still dislike the ground worst possible place to put one . They could improve facilities up there as other clubs do but hard to criticise how they treat us other than the tripe they field for us to watch.

Many people I speak to are amazed Stoke give free travel.
Jones went up in my estimation yesterday when he came over to acknowledge fans support after the reaction he got last week and the result. He clearly values us.
I think PC is just a fan like us and hurting from the results and instigator of freezing ticket prices.
The other officials at the club are just employees and there to do a job, like most employees.

I don't need to feel valued as a supporter but it wouldn't do Stoke any harm to employ some people who are good at any and all of the following:
Public Relations
Social Media
Information Technology
Until they do that either it makes you feel like its amateur hour again or that they take supporters for granted. Probably somewhere in between but its not a great look.

Club has done wonders for us fans. Had a great run in the Prem and had to come to an end really. Sadly managers made bad signings, the club backed them financially... Damned if you do etc

I feel valued as a Stoke fan. How many other clubs can say they have kept there season ticket prices the same for 12 seasons and also have the free away travel. We need to think about this and start to appreciate it

Comfy(ish) seat and reasonable admittance prices are important, but other than that it's all about what happens on the pitch.
Outside the ground it would help if they got rid of the traffic management bods who've so far only 'managed' to make leaving the area a more and more tedious and longwinded operation.
Not saying they couldn't or shouldn't improve the experience, but I'd watch from a bench in an oversized shed if they could sign today's equivalent of Mark Stein.

All very well having low season ticket prices and free travel when the team and the whole structure of the club is utter shite. Would rather pay a bit more and have a club and team that look like they give a fuck.
