    There are no under 5 ticket category this season. Gally has mentioned reasons in his report on the meeting with BFC. The supporters trust are talking to BFC with regards to a compromise solution for next season and the potential for a family area.

    As to the cut off for discounted tickets the vast majority have a similar policy to BFC often with cut off times the day before. Not ideal for everyone I agree but it is not just a BFC issue.

    The price for kids more than doubles from 1:30pm. The club might as well just tell people to *** off.

    I understand the club wanting people to invest in Season Tickets, but really, £18 for a child for one game is ridiculous. It should be a maximum of £5 on the turnstile, with maybe a higher price for people failing to provide proof of age.

    As for a family area, we had a perfectly good one until last year, which is now empty. Under 5s could go in there safe from stray shots that might harm them.

    I absolutely hate having a go at the club, but we continually seem to shoot ourselves in the foot.

    Strange, I'm sure two people told me that there wasn't any under five season tickets. Mostly don and Sharon.

    Because I did ask that question.

    Si thi.

    Non new this season, but existing season ticket holders from previous years. 'shaz and don' talk like politicians, they dont actually tell what youve asked! Fact. Shaz told me this at start of my discussions into trying to get a ticket for my lad. Also is there any clarification as to wether we can pay on day for under 5's. Can someone ask 'shaz or don' for an answer?
