How people are moaning at £99 for an u12 (£4 A GAME!!!) or £150 for u19 (£7 A GAME!!!) is beyond me. Im sure those people who chose not to renew there seats, will be replaced anyway by other fans that have been gained after this successful season. Some kid's tickets went up to £335. Ours went up to £255 from £99. (That has now been reduced to £150) The disabled ticket went up to £499 from £379. When the price increases were suddenly announced, we had 14 days to find £754 in comparison to this season's £468. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I completely understand, however personally I think a lot of the things being said is unnecessary and OTT... such as "make a new club" "don't buy anything in the ground" "The club is like Tesco" (whatever that meant)... Carry on doing your "protest" or whatever you're calling it, but the actions of a hundred or so people not buying a pie in the ground or not renewing their season ticket, will not effect the club one bit, there will be hundreds of new supporters gained for next season after the successful campaign we've had this year... so the seat you don't renew, will be replaced by another person, and the pie you refuse to buy in the ground will be bought by someone else.

From reading another forum, it seems The disabled ticket has gone up due to something about the discrimination act... Disabled supporters are already able to claim a free carers ticket (something able bodied people can't do)... so the fact they had a reduced priced ticket AND a free carer ticket meant it was discriminative against able bodied people. The club were in every right aloud to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pretend not to be happy with the prices, but you don't want to side with others who are not happy either? You then say 'tough' to people who are not wanting to pay such a huge increase, as (according to you) others are clamouring to take their places. Recent crowds of 22,000 are still 4-5,000 short of capacity, and many were half season ST's who probably won't renew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real, we struggle for ordinary league games to get over 20,000 of our own supporters (not including away fans). Where will these extra monies fans come from? You are a WUM and talking poppycock!

RumRed Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Good to see a lot more people waking up to what many of us warned about about BS. A lot of abuse sent to certain posters who questioned the status quo whilst we were flying high and it hadn't got people in the pocket. This was inevitable from the start of the 'project' . I hope some of the posters who abused fans who supported for 70 years + and expressed their concerns even in the 'good times' realise that sometimes the oldies can see stuff coming a mile off. Edit: and yes I bought into the excitement and it took me a while to realise but I've only supported 40 odd years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
