Prices out tomorrow.

Im going for a 100 quid increase.

Wont be downwards thats for sure.

As long as it stays the same i'm not fussed but this is a big thing for the new board. They need to get this right otherwise people will not be on their side.

Get the Town End prices down!

please let under 10s still be free....

Season ticket prices and manager announcement in one day? This could be interesting... should certainly give a good indication of the direction of travel under the new lot.

+3

I wonder if Watkins will have had input into this? The new board haven't been in for very long and it seems a lot for them to do within the first week of being here. I think prices will stay the same if we are in League 1 but will go up if we're in the Championship. Therefore I see them setting a higher price but if promotion is not achieved all 'early bird' purchasers will get £x amount back...or something along those lines.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them go up, I just hope they don't go up drastically.

I doubt I could afford it if it went up by £70+

I'd assume the new lot will just be implementing what the old lot already had planned.

This is what I was thinking. Surely the projections and costings of all this would have been being worked up for months.

Just want to clear everything up and press the panic button... definitely means we're going into adminstation...

Prices to remain the same. Renewals and new season tickets will have an early bird deadline to renew before championship prices kick in if we get promoted. Also installments available without any extra charge. Unsure of matchday prices though, think they will remain the same.

Can we buy from tomorrow? If so I'll be getting the credit card out.

Not sure. I think so.

Is this fact?

If they went up in the TE then would probably throw in the towel....I miss too many games although I include two matches for ball ache avoidance with the queues.

If memory serves, JGIA works in the ticket office so I guess he'd be well placed to know :). (Apologies if I got that wrong!)

Almost as good as. This is what I was told by ticket office manager on Tuesday.
I do work in ticket office on matchday. So would expect it to be true unless any last minute change of plan.

Surely the matchday prices will be reduced?

Why?

JGIA is usually spot on every year.

10% increase all-round, but offer of 5% discount at selected Lincolnshire B&Bs and guaranteed entry to the first Whitesnake tribute band gig at StadiumST.

Ah I see.  Thanks.

I wasn't sure if you were just saying what you thought should happen  :)

Oh look I'm right  :D *smug*

Smug bastard!!

Very good!

yipppeeeeeeee !

:D good for me too

And card charges scrapped.....my rant worked!!!

Fuck you...all the piss takers last year!

I'll have some of that. An absolute bargain if we managed promotion.

I'll be renewing at those prices. The TE prices, especially for STs still seem to be very close to the side stands, but I won't be losing any sleep over it.

That is what you call a damn good deal.

Good deal this, just tried to phone to renew, even though they are closed and even though it says on all the literature renewals are only available from monday. I tried it anyway because I'm such a hardcore fan like that I wanted my spot in the town end right NOW. :D

That'll do for me.

Just renewed mine. The first this year... I don't know whether to feel proud or slightly ashamed.

Why would you be ashamed?

It's not cool to be too keen is it?

It'd only be cringeworthy if you were appearing in local news outlets as the super-duper über fan who loved STFC so goddamn much that he was first in line.

otherwise, it's cool

So you're going to cancel the press conference and photo-call that's booked for this afternoon right....

Teacher's pet  :D

That interest free amin fee waived offer is superb. I'll be renewing soon...

It certainly is. I'll be renewing mine on Saturday whilst getting my Brentford ticket (sorry if you're stuck behind me!)

Don't fully understand the publicity...as one just returned to Wiltshire, and therefore not a ST holder, do I have to wait til after the 'gold' and 'silver' holders before I can get mine (and does that mean I can't get it in the March window)???

The priority stuff is not for season tickets.

You can buy your new season ticket straight away.

Very good!!!

Very sad (For me) I was made redundant in October and struggled to find work since. I've managed the odd day here and there but when you see ads for EXPERIENCED CLEANERS required, well I mean really? What's that all about?
So no income, no season ticket for me or my partner.......
Maybe (and this is contraversial (sp)) Vote Ukip and send everyone packing.
This will be the first season i miss since 1969 and I feel like crying.

You've definitley earned the right to be touched up by Rocking Robin.

Fuck off you fucking stupid cunt.

I didn't see that comeing  :eek:

What a great post, it reminds me of what a bunch of thick cunts most of you lot really are, please keep up this internet gold and good luck with the chat forum.

I thought this cunt was banned

And right on cue comes along yet another random internet cunt calling someone a cunt.... total genius

Errr....

Does anyone know if there are seating restrictions regarding where under 10's can obtain a Season Ticket for? My missus seven year old is desperate to come to a game and I'm thinking about getting a ST for him (Hey, it's free!). He won't come to many games, but at least I won't have to sit next to some random cunt every other week. 

I can't reply further as when Barry Scott finishes school today he will throw his rattle out the pram again and get all upset and have a little cry over a bit of name calling and pointless abuse by random strangers on the internet, rather then laugh it off or just press the ignore button and treat the total pointless bullshit like it deserves, he will be getting into a cold sweat and taking it all a bit too seriously, and I suppose this overreaction makes him the biggest nob of the lot, and I bet his blood pressure went up just reading this.

Be a steward next season, and get paid to watch the town.

They're looking for qualified stewards...

Qualified in what...?

Owning a fluorescent yellow jacket

Stealing our jobs.

jerbs

Typical TEF response when something is said even the slightest bit right of centre politically. Get over yourself, the mans pissed off, you might not agree with him but abusing him just makes you look like an even bigger cunt.

I was being serious :/

Don't think so. FWIW, my youngest and his mate both have U7s STs in the DRS.

I am "right of centre" but it warmed my heart to see someone being called a cunt for advocating mass forced deportation. more of the same please.

Can we not just keep politics out of the football threads?

Cheers Paul. I've already converted her 19 year old to the true faith, he's been to Bournemouth and Coventry this season. The 6 year old plays football at school in the full Swindon kit (Much to his dad's annoyance, which is nice). Still got a 4 year old to brainwash as well.

It will be easier now Paolo has gone Paul....for sure.

Typical of you. Fucking liberal hand wringer...

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

DURKA DER

:)
Good work sir. I still find myself being pleasantly surprised when kids in my lads' teams turn up for training in Town kit then being annoyed that it should be a pleasant surprise - should be the norm.

Will be renewing mine tomorrow, moving from the DRS to the Town End I think

Good man.

He's got your number there Jay  :toocool:

:)

Good. Don't want your sort in the DRS. Chavvy cunt.

Actually had a proper look through the leaflet now, option to spread the cost with no admin fee is a nice touch. Good work Jed.

If only it was that simple, as I do own my own fluorescent yellow jacket.

To all those intolerants out there. I was hoping for a few words of comfort as this is a STFC forum and I am a STFC fan, who has fallen on hard times. It's hard out here in the real world and feel that being unskilled and looking around, we are definatly not all in this together.
While I don't think full repatriation is a good idea, you only have to pay a visit to the job centre to realise that all immigrants here are not paying there way. I now have to compete with over a thousand Honda workers and in January a horde of Romanians (apparently)
So, I'm going to enjoy the rest of the season (until the beginning of the playoffs) If you see me in the streets feel free to have a free kick. After all, I'm just one of the untermench (SP)

As it happens I thought the response was a bit harsh...though you could have chosen your words a little better. Trouble is the subject of immigration never turns out to be a rational grown-up one (on either side). But best of luck in your endeavors in finding a job...

Seems to have got more political on here since Di Canio left rather than less.

I blame all these commies coming onto our forum and taking over our threads.

Send them back where they came from I say.

 :alien:

Who's fault is it that you are unskilled? I think we should ship you off and replace you with a skilled Hungarian.

And I'm not a commie or a lefty, I just hate people who won't admit to their own failings and then try to blame it on someone else.

I feel sympathy for you crass. Not nice loosing your job and having to compete in these tough times. Uncontrolled immigrants flooding here isn't helping. With them happy to work for less it is driving standards down for everyone. There are jobs out there so keep applying.

naturally I feel bad for you, but i'm not sure about all this "them and us" mentality. I say have an open border policy (subject to criminal record checks). what right does one person have to tell another to leave a particular arbitrarily determined area of land just because he was born there and the other was not?

I know you're just yanking my chain but I've had a varied and full work history and pre universities for all, it wasn't such a problem being unskilled. I can see now that the last 9 years of my working life isn't going to be easy and a season ticket is the last thing on my mind.
Thanks to those who have shown a little understanding.

so ease of access to education is the problem?

That's a really interesting point.  I'd like to think that ancestral connection to a place or a territory should mean something rather than nothing at all.  The local conclusion to your argument is that we should abandon border controls all together (other than excluding criminals etc.) and I'm not sure that that's viable.  Actually, I'm sure it isn't.  Everyone has their own view about the population figure that the UK could support comfortably and, for my part, I think we're not far off it now.  I'm not saying we should shut the door...far from it.  But to throw the door open and allow as many people to come here as would like to sounds irresponsible and unworkable to me.

Population is around 63 million at the moment.  I'm not saying that a population of 75 million or 80 million, for example, would cause the country to implode.  But I am fairly sure that all but the very rich would suffer a decline in their living standards if the population was allowed to reach that level.  The decline in living standards would happen gradually, but it would happen all the same.

Disclaimer: All of the above comment is to be taken in the context of this discussion and not used against me in future debates as evidence that I'm a xenophobic, Daily Mail-reading Nazi that hates anyone with skin any darker in colour than Dale Winton's.  I was purely arguing that having no population policy at all would be a generally poor idea.

I take your point, but I think you'd reach an equalibrium. in fact, I understand the uk is already dropping down the list of destinations of choice for eastern europeans since there is fuck all work available here compared to, say, germany. plus I still find it hard to justify favouring on grounds of ancestory, morally speaking.

I pay by instalment as I'm as good with money as mr David Cameron. Do I have to go through all the form rubbish again or do I just phone and renew and the agreement continues

Renewed mine today, thats another 3 in the DRS for next season. I sing when im told. :bye:
