Wait until you find out there is a £15 per ticket booing fee on top Sorry no laughing matter, it is a shame if true. I can see a reasonable amount of renewals but we were just starting to build a bigger base. As I said, I hope to god the early bird doesn't do the normal of only lasting 30 days. Should stop the gratuitous booing though!

We've been underpaying for a couple of years, it still represents good value. However, the new fans that might not be aware of this may see it differently and be put off renewing.

If these prices are correct, the board's biggest job will be to publicise them in context of other clubs' prices when possible. For example, saying that X number of clubs in league one charge more than this (presuming we get there). That way the price is seen more in relation to other clubs and less in relation to recent bargain prices. If they just chuck price increases out there and hope for the best it'll be disappointing for all.

Junior £120
Oh FFS. I assume that means U10.
Seriously, if anyone thinks £279 -> £470 is a fair price increase they can go fuck themself.

Why would the board budget using an unsustainable model arriba? It would only bite them later.
300/350 for renewal/new sounds more stomachable.
We would be getting the gates we currently are regardless of the amount of season ticket holders we have. That has meant the club has lost alot of revenue due to the ridiculously cheap season tickets. Like i said earlier,they had the balance wrong between season tickets and matchday tickets. The gulf was way to big. We have a big wage bill and that will grow next season if we want to get where the club and manager has stated.

Why so little difference between the Town End and the side stands?

Maybe with hindsight, but if we hadn't done well we wouldn't. WE don't even know which league we are in next season FFS. If my 2 season tickets really has gone up to £470 from £279 that could be that for STs for me. Back to pick and choose games. I'm gutted but I can't see getting £470 within a month, a month including Wembley, is going to happen. And I ain't paying > £500 which is likely after early bird.

I don't think we would at all. It wasnt too long ago we were getting sub 4k in league one when prices weren't discounted. The cheap season tickets have done our gates wonders.

Don't forget the monthly installments option. Still a bit disappointing though I agree
