    I take it there are still no incentives for those without season tickets i.e. flexi tickets. As things stand I can afford to go to one game per month, so I won't be there tomorrow. The Rotherham game is my preference if I've got to choose.

    Or a season ticket paid in instalments?

    Just this. Not to be insensitive bit, the season ticket was an absolute steal. No excuse not paying in instalments tbh. Cheaper than going to 1 game a month

    I haven't got a season ticket because I can only get to 10 or 12 games per season due to work.

    There is an excuse. It's called working midweek evenings and every other Saturday.

    Still costs about the same at £30 a game (pay on the day) if you do 10/12. Able to make more and you're saving money.

    Still maintain a season ticket is very good value

    A season ticket doesn't give you access to 10/12 games. The point is if you're planning on doing 10/12 games, you're as well buying a season ticket and paying in installments. That way if you can make extra, you don't need to fork out

    No it's not. But your point is invalid. Get a season ticket for about the same you'd spend anyway, able to pay monthly and even possibly share the ticket making it even better value.

    If you can only attend 10/12 games makes each game 30 quid plus. Potentially 40 quid plus in ESU. How Is that good value?

    Wouldn't sharing the ticket be breaking the ts and cs.

    At first you are saying you won't be there tomorow as you can only afford one game a month and your preference is Rotherham so assuming you are able to make tomorrow and Rotherham (2 games a month) if you got a season ticket in installments and attended 2 games a month the others you are working I assume. You are still saving your self money.

    He's not going tomorrow. At thirty quid I don't blame him. At 28 quid I don't blame him either.

    If he can make 2 games a month he will save money with a season card. Hope this helps

    If it's such a money saver why have you only had one in the last six years?

    Well I have had a son in that time who is now 5 and I am starting to take him this season with his first season card. Some seasons I would have probley saved money buying one as I attended so many and paid on gate not that I have to explain my support to you. You could always meet before game if your so interested we could have a good chat?
