If mine goes up 100 quid, I'll be telling them where to go to cheeky fuckers.I'm really hoping it's a false rumour but it's decent posters saying it's happening. Honestly don't know what I'd do if there was a big rise. I've always considered myself someone who would always renew as long as I could afford it but if my card goes from £350 to £450 as has been mooted I'd have a big decision to make. I'm fortunate that I could afford it but it would be absolutely taking the piss and I'm not convinced I'd want to go along with it.
Renewals will take another big hit next season anyway, even if we stay up, since this season has been so poor. Some renewed hoping we'd actually win a few, they'll be off, others have just got sick of it as the season has gone on. If there's a substantial price rise, however, there will be very few season ticket holders left because it would be blatantly taking the piss. If it happens it is definitely something I would protest about and try to get discussed in the media. I'm angry just at the suggestion, only hope the next few weeks proves the rumours to be baseless
Settle down Martin. So you think putting kids season card prices up from £25 and £49, to £150 Is the way to go? A price increase across the board "fair enough"? I hope the club isn't thinking like that, as all that will do is piss everyone off even more. As it stands, i can get me and the bairn a season card for £375. Youre saying if it was up to you and what they should do, is charge me more like £550? They'd be losing 2 season card holders immediately.One of the (many) things SAFC have failed at over the last 20 years is taking enough money through the gate. We're miles behind similar sized/rival clubs in terms of our gate revenue despite our crowds being right up there for the most part and it is something that needs addressed.
I think a price freeze or even a small increase would be fair enough and I'd charge under 16s £150 (£6.50 per match) across the stadium. Gate money will be more crucial than ever next season and the fact is that we need to maximise it.
