    Correct. That will have gone down in a number of cases. I'm still expecting 1000 less at least.

    I just hope that people with bad credit aren't hoping to get on the pay monthly plan!

    Probably more than that. For a couple of games next season i'd not be shocked at under 8,000 turning up including away fans.

    As I say, if you can't afford it, don't come. Or pay on the occasional match day - I reckon this will be £25 a go.

    they could have saved themselves a lot of grief and announced this in january so fans had 3 to 4 months to get there heads around it

    I think that's the main issue. Having never done an "early bird" offer before they have caught people off guard.

    Re: Less than £1 per day.

    That is actually a very good point in my opinion. Now ask who's been putting £1 a day away.

    I think I'll have a moan and whinge about people not being able to budget.

    Sod it, it's much easier to let rip at the Club.

    If someone had budgeted they'd be two months short by your method. Do you agree with the price hike ?

    How I see this ...

    ESL Ticket - £330.00
    ES Car Park Pass - £165.00
    Child Ticket - £0.00

    Total: £495.00

    Over the Course of 23 games that's an average cost of £21.50 to go to the game and park up. You can call that £21.50 per week or you can say thats £10.75 each to watch the match. The car park pass is my indulgence without it that's £7 per person per game - you can't go bowling or to the cinema for that!

    When my second son is old enough to go, it's £525.00 or £7.60/£5.25 (excluding car park pass) per person per game.

    Sorry folks, I don't think you can fault the club with their pricing on season tickets.

    The match-day pricing they made a right royal f**k-up of with the headline rate of £30 and the various categories of match.

    I hope that they realise this year that people just want a nice simple price so when their mate at the pub who hasn't been for a while says what'll it cost me they can be told it's £20 to get in - get yersen darn; not break out the abacus and fixture list.

    I think the match-day pricing needs to be a lot less fancy and we should worry less about extracting an extra few quid from away fans and concentrate more on getting more home fans through the turnstiles.

    However; I think people need to get real on Season Ticket prices - the club do bloody well on this.

    Re: How I see this ...

    It's that it's more expensive next season to watch what will be a lower quality of player playing for us. We wouldn't mind paying more if it made the team stronger, but I feel our replacements for Vaz, Buttercup and Drinkwater will be more lower league players, and that Steele and Davies could end up going.

    Absolute gash that will without a shaddow reduce the number of ST's sold

    especially on current form

    Cheers Don, innovative marketing there.

    Get the same price if you cough up months before you expected to.

    On current form if season tickets were free they couldn't give away 10,000.
