Re: 2016/17 Season Tickets
Sorry for being underwhelmed but this is actually worse for me than last season which was being called ridiculous. The only possible saving grace would be promotion.
Season tickets are the same price which may be a bonus if it's league one but not for me. It is unlikely to be worth my while given that to date this season I have made 7 games at home and I have been to every one I could go to. With a bit of luck I should be able to double that by the end of the season but that is dependent on rail works and any potential cuts to our bus services in the new financial year.
Last season on here it was a case that £20 was too much and would deter casual walkons despite the fact groups could use flexi tickets to get in for £15 each or £13.50 if bought while on offer. This season you can get in for £15 if you pay £20 up front. How many casual walkons will do that compared to those who will say sod it, I wont bother.
Last season I paid £135 for 10 tickets and those will be enough to cover me given I have acquired a few freebies for various reasons. This season it would cost £170 to achieve the same result and I wouldn't have paid up front so I have less incentive to go in the first place if the weather is dodgy or I have a raging hangover from a friday night out on the bevvy.
As for the discount with the loyalty card, I don't seem to buy as much merchandise as I used to other than the shirts on occasion an having been a member of the Stanley Legends, I am a bit wary of this as is seems roughly the same idea under a new name.
For me it would have been a better idea to leave things as they were. As for the cut price to £15 brought in as a great idea and listening to the fans, what is the justification for putting the prices up to £20 if we are still in league two other than last seasons idea of making money from the away fans?
