errr... that'll be EM and his cohort.
When I was Finance director for a quarrying company, we all had specialist training in handling disaster scenarios.
One of the abiding lessons was: do not shun the media.
They can be good friends, or deadly enemies.
So, Forest board:
1 Organise a media interview;
2 Start the interview with an apology (something like, The Board would like to express sincere regret at the way the news surrounding season ticket prices has been handled. Here and now we would like to address the concerns that are being expressed by the supporters";
3 Explain the pricing strategy;
4 Say "We recognise that we failed to communicate with the Fans Forum we have been working with";
5 The financial reality facing the club in the light of the FFP breach and punishment is that the club has to address all aspects of its revenue and cost base;
6 Say, we as a Board have listened to the criticisms of the price increases, and note in particular the significant and potentially punitive increases resulting from the reduction of age related concessions particularly on the young peole whom we hope will be forest fans now and into the future, and the burden this places on young families;
7 As a result we have decided to restore the age related concession back to 19 years, as it was previously.
8 Repeat the APOLOGY from 2 above.
It is quite simple... and will defuse an explosive situation.

That would require ACTUAL action though, like organizing something.
Its far easier to just talk about it on a football forum.

Boycott the club shop, boycott the catering, boycott each and every additional revenue stream for the club.
They've had their money, they don't care about us so fukc 'em.
My vocal support is available at only £5 per match, this may increase at zero notice though.

Catering is still outsourced isn't it so not buying rat burgers isn't going to hit Forests pocket.

It will when the contract is up for renewal.

It will. These deals are normally franchise fee plus %sales.

Maybe so, but if you stop using it they wont want to come back as there is no money in it for them.
Sounds like a win-win, that

I think it’s the profligacy combined with the prices rises that’s pissing everyone off. It’s impossible to argue that we ‘need’ to pay more so that we can afford extortionate dross like Origi and Lingard.
If prices were going up but the club appeared to spend sensibly I think there would be much less of an issue.

I mean, kind of, yeah. But most teams at any pro level have more than 2 goalkeepers and 3 central defenders on the books. Which seems to be what you’re suggesting here.
You’re right about Arter and Kouyate of course and expect it to happen in June.

It’s starting…… just read on twitter that some people in D block have had emails about having to move due to the club expanding the hospitality seats.
This is everything I hate about modern football and precisely why the atmospheres at some of the new big grounds are rubbish.

Sorry muddled it a little with the keepers who arent out of contract. Just saying that if we do nothing else and let those costs melt away we will have more in the bank over the next 12 months than the paltry 2m extra we'll have from season tickets.

If a few years ago you'd offered me the choice of paying twice as much to watch Morgan Gibbs-White instead of Lyle Taylor, I'd have taken it. But if I was unemployed, maybe not.

If I was unemployed I wouldn't be paying to watch Lyle Taylor.

If I was unemployed I’d be calling Forest and offering to play for free instead of Divock Origi

Yeah I agree we could and should easily save the same amount of money (and more) from the wage bill than will be raised from price increases.
I was just a bit sceptical we can let both Felipe and Boly go without replacing either. That would leave us with just three centre backs I think? We will still need a squad! But yeah, better value for money would be nice.
Edit: there is Joe Worrall I suppose
