Not true, at Nottingham Forest the prices must go down. We cant have the owners thinking they own the club.
Ok - you're making yourself look increasingly stupid with lines like that.

I don't think anyone expected anything other than an increase in ticket prices.

What people ARE angry about is the obscene amount by which the club have hiked the prices versus the rate of inflation, how they've weaponised a number of supporters against other supporters with the passive-aggressive nature of their social media posts and how the pissing-away of vast amounts of goodwill will create barely a drop in the forest financial ocean, given the amount of TV revenue inbound.

(It might also be noted that the 4 points penalty incurred as a result of the owners not employing a competent accountant will almost certainly cost us more in league position prize money than the price-gouging on ticket renewals brings in over last season's income).

Actions have consequences. The owners have chosen their actions. They're going to have to deal with the consequences.

I think I explained in my previous about what needs doing. Forum posts mean nothing.

I would encorage REAL action in this, and any other case.

Aside from the wider debate, I found the suggestion that Miltiadis was one of the good guys and keeping Cooper in a job at one point interesting. I expected the son of a billionaire to be, well, a massive twat if I'm honest.
Why?
Take Donald Trump as an example

I do wonder if the incoming legislature could address the price gouging.. but interfering with commercial activity isn’t what’s driving the need for government intervention in the sky scam.

Ironic that Forest are considering and lobbying for the stadium expansion because Forest are the heart of the community.. then f*** over the very people it claims to support with outrageous price increases. The duplicity stinks and we all know it.

You could of asked any of our supporters 4 months ago if they thought the club actually cared about them and they would of answered no so i don't get the surprise of all this really they don't care who's bum it is sat on the seat they know fans are invested and they may lose a few but there are 4 fighting to take each place.

Felt like we spent the entirety of last season whinging about the away membership scheme, Forest committed to reviewing it and their answer to the concerns were.... more away members.

Yeah, Forest clearly don't give a f*** for the fans. It's very much a pay up or piss off model. Fans either got to make their peace with it (and treat it as just another form of entertainment which you can judge whether provides value for money or not), or they've got to go full on with the protests, not just withholding banner displays.
