    Best value ticket in the Championship. Shame they haven't been fair about giving everyone the opportunity to take advantage.

    Ah yes, you mean with them physically preventing people taking advantage of the discounts etc.

    Sorry I don't understand -even if you can't renew until the end of June you get £20 off an adult ticket in the ponty - £25 off in East Stand.

    The club can stand criticism for a few things, but the ST pricing, the categories and the discount structure - what else could they do ? Other than just sell them at the early bird price, and then we'd all be wondering why we're signing Lee Collins and not Paul McShane.

    I've checked my post to see where I said "physically preventing" and I can't find it. I can only assume you have made an error with your inference.

    I have said this so many times it is getting boring. Fact is until a week ago I thought I had until end of June to renew. But now I only have until end of April unless I pay more. Been a ST holder for donkeys years and always had until end of June. BFC have shifted the goalposts, no reward for loyalty unless you happen to have the money available 3 months early. Stronger Together.

    Based on the fact that we have never had an early bird offer before it might have been considerate of them to give more than six weeks notice. I normally get my ticket the week before the first home game and had no intention of having £315 spare by the end of April. I suspect I'm not alone.

    I'm sure next year they'll write to each and every one of us to ask if what they are planning legislates for our own particular individual circumstances.

    You get your ST at discount if you renew in June.

    They just give you a bit of a bonus if you are able to pay earlier that's all.

    Why would they need to? They could just put an announcement on the official site.

    Well said. No real prior warning to exisiting season ticket holders that the plan we've had in place for many years is all of a sudden null and void. I can pay it in one go, but i'm sure now many STHs who have been so for many years are all of a sudden unable to afford without the increase.

    Anyway, you're the one that reckons cutting prices doesn't work, but it does it seems.

    Or a bonus for having less money the month after.

    You wanting to take advantage. I would've thought you wouldn't be bothered and would have waited anyway to give BFC more money.

    Doesn't really prove that cheap tickets work. All it proves I don't want to pay more than I have to. Just like everybody else who wants to renew.
