    Now that we have a manager everyone can get behind, I think the next move should be to put on some sort of offer for the remaining 8 home games. Anyone that was put off buying a half season ticket by Keith and his ways should be given another chance to support the reds at a discounted price. Buying a half season ticket now will still save some money but it's not enough to entice people in and to make Oakwell a fortress for the remainder of the season.

    I know it won't be done but it seems like a pretty good idea to me. Our season starts here!

    Performances and results like yesterday will get people back..precedent has been set

    Its down to the manager and players to get the results, the rest will all fall into place. IMO of course.

    Don't know why the club don't do more deals on tickets...such as discounted prices on blocks of 3 or 4 games. Perhaps ones that give people a game a month etc.

    £20 a match. Simple.

    It's a no brainer...hardly anyone paying £28 vs at least a thousand or two paying £20.

    I think the reluctance to reduce the price is purely down to making money out of away supporters which is totally wrong as all it's done is put off the home support - who should obviously come first.

    Agreed. Huddersfield, Wednesday and Leeds have given us a combined income of around £100,000 alone.
