Baffling. Has Clem just undermined another CEO? (Albeit welcome in this instance)
bizarrely it supports Hall. Lower match day prices but the same ST prices, mean ST owners get a worse deal and get less free games!

In a sense… not quite sure that was what Hall of Shame was driving at…

ST prices to be frozen and matchday tickets reduced next season according to the Broadbent Lounge - via the owner no doubt.
An increase on the 9 free games in that case!
I’d heard a rumour that matchday prices were going to be lower, but had assumed that ST would go up to reduce the gap between the two

Welcome news if true but posting news like that with no evidence and then replying to every tweet with vague gifs insinuating “we know something you don’t” is a pretty good way to annoy an already disgruntled fanbase.
If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s to be sceptical with this club until something is concrete.

Hall and the advisory board minutes essentially said that season tickets were too cheap. If he meant it as matchday prices were too high you can call me Susan

It's not entirely unlikely that they have seen the turnout for the past two seasons and decided to take a gamble on retaining most of those but trying to convert them to matchday purchases instead of season tickets. It increases revenue if you can manage it - BUT, the risks are obvious. You may not retain that turnout when people need to pay match by match, plus you lose a wedge of cash to see you through the off season.

I have a ST and have done for nearly 20 years despite living 120 miles away so I’d say I’m a fairly committed fan (probably should be committed based on some of the shit we’ve had to put up with) but can honestly say I wouldn’t go to another game this season until the transfer window closes & see where we are, so that would be one hell of a gamble from them

I think they probably believe that ST’s are too cheap, but also recognises matchday tickets are too high. If the matchday price was £25, then a full season is £575 which is still almost 7 “free” games at the current price so can see a ST price of £450 meaning 5 free games. I don’t have any inside info on prices, but had heard a rumour about match tickets

Perhaps the Nationwide tickets are getting binned?

What’s best for the club? Retaining ST holders or getting more POTD?
Come what may I’m not getting 2 STs next season. I’d rather pay per game than take a gamble on a decent season.
Fair weather, sure. But I’m not getting taken for a ride by the club.
