Filling the stadium...

Adult season card prices already work put at about £13.50 a game. I'm not really sure how much cheaper people want them to make it. No doubt the same people demanding even cheaper tickets would be the first to complain when the playing budget is slashed further to compensate for it.

The club needs to generate more income from gate receipts, because that is one of the areas we've consistently fallen behind our competitors in, not less.

You’ve misread the sentiment of my post mate. I’m not advocating cheaper season tickets beyond one season....and simply for reasons of kickstarting the new regime. A full house week in/week out in that league just propagates the idea that we are far too big a club to be in that league. Gain momentum then normalise prices next season onwards.

And it wouldn’t lose any money for the club if implemented properly.

You could open the gates and let people in for free and still not fill a 48k stadium in the 3rd Division. Prices are already very cheap and gate receipts are so important in this league so cutting prices further would be akin th cutting our own throats.

Those who want to pay, and 16,000 already have, are paying a very reasonable price whilst hopefully contributing to a competitive transfer budget for the new manager. Making it cheaper to try to hook in people who clearly aren't all that arsed about going in the first place isn't a sensible idea in my opinion.

Main reason people have stopped going is we are not in the premier league.

I think you will find it' because we are shit, who in there right mind wants to pay good money to watch the garbage on offer knowing full well before you turn up we will most likely lose.

But what if they’ve been long term season ticket holders and have just decided not to renew on the back of these last two seasons. They may have been “arsed” for 20+ plus years and anything that can be done to entice them back should be.

If £310 for 23 games doesn't entice them back then clearly their reasons aren't financial ones.
