I pay £430 for the West Stand, not a chance I’m paying more than that, any price increase and I will be done

I'm thinking along similar lines. I only see the missus and the bairn on a weekend but I always go and watch the match. Sometimes that ends up with me getting moaned at, especially if I have a few too many. I've always said I'll renew as long as I can afford it but a price rise at this point would be taking the utter piss and I'm not sure whether I'd accept it. I don't expect a price drop, I pay £350 for NWC (albeit we often just sit in the north stand since there's plenty seats) and I think that's reasonable whatever league we're in, but I'm not going to have my loyalty exploited. If prices go up significantly I might just go as and when, and spend more time with the little one

They’ll stay the same I reckon. Trouble at Sunderland is we expext, ergo demand cheap season card prices. I’d imagine if and when we do get bought, and are run properly, season card prices will will probably be re-assessed as any buyer will want to start recouping their outlay. A fine balancing act.

A good few people on here (and not the attention seekers/ bullshitters) have said they've heard rumours about it. Some have heard north stand might go from £350 to nearer £450. I think only the stupidest, most incompetent set of twats in the world would ever consider a big price hike to be a sensible course of action at this point, so I expect it'll happen. Hope it's bollocks, we should know before long, I'm sure the renewal forms often come early March

We wouldn't get crowds of 10,000 next season if they bump the prices up.

Difficulty is that it's obviously not a rich part of the country, there's a limit to how much a lot can afford. That being said, I think most would accept a small rise every so often if they could see that the club was trying to progress and would benefit from the extra. If they do it now there will be an almighty backlash, it'll definitely spark protests. If they've got any sense they'll keep them the same

They'd certainly have a lot fewer season ticket holders. Some would keep them out of loyalty (and if they can afford to and are happy to do so then fair play to them, would never criticise anyone for supporting the club), some would keep them to guarantee away games but I honestly think most would see it as taking the piss and would give them up. If we were doing okay a fair few would go on the day, if we were doing shit then you might be right about 10000

I agree but I’m sure it was in the blurb when renewals came around last year that the prices were cheaper than they were 10 years previously! As I said it’s a fine balancing act.
 
I’d ask both of them which they prefer on a sausage sarnie.

Reckon Coleman is a brown sauce man, Bain is more difficult to predict, perhaps some sort of mustard mayonnaise?

It certainly is. Like I say, at the right time I'd accept a bit of a price rise, especially in a league where gate receipts matter. If they try to do it now though I'll be tempted to tell them to get fucked "we've made fuck up after fuck up, please pay for our incompetence, by the way the rise in your season ticket cost won't result in any money being spent on players, we're still giving the manager a budget of £0, see you next season, Martin"
