    Queue for a beer and then get the pleasure of queuing for a pie ! Great. At the next home match the bar in the Ponte will be a bigger shambles than it usually is!!! If that’s actually possible ?

    You pat your pocket.... it will still have £8 less than ours in it.

    Reserved plus was £40 more, not £50! Mine was anyway.

    Don’t forget one of the vouchers is a straight £5 off. So that £8 is now £13……..creeping up!

    I hear you. But the season tickets are very well priced, regardless of division. Nobody knows what the season is going to look like when buying their ticket.

    I could be wrong, but weren’t the vouchers a good will add on for purchasing a reserved+ ticket for the season that never was? So I don’t believe the shirt for your money plus the vouchers is a valid argument.

    The club haven’t done bad out of a lot of us over the last few years, and I think we deserve better.

    The club in my opinion has always been reasonably priced, both ST and match day, with the exception of some dubious Cat A games in recent seasons.

    But ST prices need simplifying. I don't want a free leather holder, or my seat initialising. I don't want gold leaf printouts, or vouchers for anything, especially if that 'anything' is a blatant lie.

    As Whitey says, we don't know how the season pans out at the outset. A poor season, I am saddled with watching trash; a decent season and I know I am watching good football, at a discounted price, with a better than average chance of securing away/ cup tickets. And I funded the club when they needed the upfront cash.
    I don't need, or want, bells and whistles. I want a card that says SEASON TICKET on it.

    Adults - one price.
    Children/OAP - a lower price.

    Keep it simple.

    Right, then. Monday morning, I shall be exchanging my shirt for an age 9-10 (£38), just to make my point stand….exclamation mark!!!

    Light hearted, incidentally, Troff. You and Mido don’t actually believe I would be so smug over a £2 saving/£8 loss do you?
    These highly anticipated vouchers have actually been the highlight of our season so far.

    If there was c.£50 per ST holder 'invested' by the club in add-ons, fictitious as they appear, I would rather see that investment go on those less advantaged, the unemployed, key workers etc.
    Or a new right back :)

    Get some new fans in, not offer crisp packet tokens to those who were always going to buy.

    Whitey for CEO.

    The latest key ring or bottle opener?

    A pencil?

    Or you get £5 off a shirt when others don’t

    Your bosses don't learn lessons though do they, they don't learn from past mistakes, if you want evidence of that look at the league table tonight.

    Let's face it the vouchers are pathetic. Any organisation that trumpets vouchers that need you to fork out money before you get anything back, should tell you about it before they induce you to buy their product in the first place. Silly me. Fool me once, shame on you etc.

    Said organisation should also definitely not dither forever before handing out the vouchers, as the focus is now on their lack of worth. But it's not that important in the whole scheme of things.

    It is difficult however to praise the club for anything this season. It's disastrous. But then again we will only be relegated.

    It would be nice to see any kind of indication that we're putting up a fight. There are no indicators though are there? Hope? Someone's taken the Jewson lot.

    You’re replying to me as if I’ve said the vouchers are amazing? I’ve given no opinion.

    I think a free hot drink, a free soft drink, even a free pint would have gone down better and been easy to find/manage. But that’s the first opinion I’ve given.

    No I haven't so replied. I've just given my own opinion.

    When I bought my season ticket, I only went for the RR+ due to the shirt, didn't even realise there was a voucher book included until I saw it mentioned on here
