Not suggesting that Clem & Rob are going to trouser the extra cash, unlike the previous owner, but just imagine the reaction if he had done this & upped the ticket prices for this type of game.
People (rightly) lost their shit when we had to pay again for the replayed Rovers game, to me this is in the same ballpark.
You are comparing apples and pineapples.

Cheers, that was what I was sort of getting at is that we would only be getting 45% of receipts so the game could end up costing us bloody money (really don't have time to do the maths).

Not really, it’s being seen as an opportunity to make more money out of a fixture. I’d agree that there’s no comparison on where that money is likely to be going.

What is slightly annoying is that ST holders can order two, meaning someone who never goes can jump the queue ahead of people who cant afford season tickets etc

You don't really think that do you
Probably not, but why should I be able to get two tickets, especially as they won’t be together so it’s not like I can bring a friend

I did wonder this, surely the club will let an ST holder move seats for the match to where there are two available next to each other otherwise it will limit the take up of the additional ticket…

Actually, you're comparing apples with a diarrhoea shit sandwich. With added haemorrhoids. Jeez, that strained my spellchecker.

Doesn’t that only apply to league games, it’s why smaller teams always wanted an away draw to the big boys in the FA Cup, as they’d get 45% of a bigger crowd

Yes, that's right. What I wrote was in direct response to a questions about league games...

Being a concession ST holder my actual price per game for this season was just under £11 which is so cheap and I have absolutely no complaints, but the increase for the City game is a jump, not that well thought out and I am a little disappointed that there was not more of a sliding scale for all the ST people. I can afford the increase and have paid the going rates for away games plus the ancillary costs so it is not a problem personally but I can really appreciate the family holders and those possibly struggling having to dig deep if they want to see the game, and is does not sit well with me. STFC is still in the deep doodah as we all know and the money raised should help, I just hope it does not alienate too many fans.

I’ll offer any fan on here that cannot afford the hike - the difference of a usual cost to make sure they can make it. I understand it from the club, but for those less off I’ll happily subsidise the difference.

Angus mentioned earlier that the community foundation and ‘Boom Battle Bar’ (at Regent Circus) are supporting with additional hospitality for this, I assume some extra stuff offsite? Anyone after hospitality get in touch with the club as it’s being sold already and doesn’t appear to have been advertised anywhere.
Also confirmed portaloos for the Bank (yes, someone really did message in to ask that question) - the City fans are in for a treat.
Interesting to note we may lose some seating in the Arkells (also for league matches) due to strengthening of the ‘red zone’, which I assume means subs sat distanced in the stand. Some ST holders will be dislodged as a result.
