Some sort of reduction/incentive for those who live more than 50 miles away.
Why would they?
People that have season tickets already and live a distance away are either going go come to the games or they arent.Lowering prices isnt going to encourage more through the gates is it? You choose to live where you live and support Swindon,you arent extra loyal or an extra valuable supporter just cos you have to drive down here for the games.
Actually, I'd like the chance to buy a season ticket for just weekend's & Bank Holidays (or non school nights) We have season tickets this year, but can't make it to midweek games. This season has been OK, because the Season Ticket price has meant that attending half the games (or so) is still cost effective. If the offer is not extended to next season, or a scheme whereby we only pay for games we can attend it will be back to single match tickets for us, and we only made about 1/2 a dozen games last season.

I like the idea of the interest free installments - but if not, the split season ticket payments were the next best thing.
I think a £150 season ticket for Town End only - lets pack it out with season ticket holders and get some atmosphere back. Price freeze everywhere else in the ground.
How many people (approximately) does Town End hold?

Also, don't like the idea of giving the TE to the away fans.
I remember one of the last times they did that. It was full of Shitheads, and they made a lot of noise.

What i did suggest to the club last year was a half type season ticket where non locals could sign up for 10-12 games, that would certainly encourage me to go to more home games ( i currently do around 6 per season) That would give more money to the club, whilst me not wasting half of the cost of a full ticket due to child/work issues. For example its hard to do midweek homers as i dont get home until midnight and have to leave work early etc, so i dont often go, with a half type i could probably do most saturdays whilst saving a few quid.

I think thats a very good idea. I can't always afford away games but for out of towners, its the same cost as a home game - god knows how anyone can afford to do that. Definitely cheap tickets for the Town End - 150 quid is a must - only problem is that this could mean the intermitent atmosphere we've seen in the DRS at some points this season diminishes.

I don't think we've ever given the Town End to Bristol city?

I'd rather the full atmosphere was restored to the TE though tbh. It was great yesterday but with cheaper season tickets it could be even better. It's worth a punt.

We didn't as such. But in 1995 i remember there being a couple of shitheads behind me. We won 2-0 though so they soon shut up!

Think that was the start of the 90 season, 3 or 4 games in.

I cant make loads of matches doe to work,perhaps they could do a Jamie works a 4 on 4 off shift Season ticket....
Its daft to expect the club to tailor season tickets to all the fans different circumstance,simply not realsitic.
I say dont bother with any complictaed schemes at all. £10 in the TE and £15 everywhere else.If you pay want to pay up front in the form of a season ticket then you get home Cup games free.
