Director resigns then really early season ticket sale for next season. Lets hope this is warning sign because it would be easy to jump to that conclusion.

I understand your thought process but durgans business is one of the least successful businesses out of the current directors , with uttley and bannister being the big guns . Also durgan has been very transparent on social media regarding his decision, usually when there’s a problem it’s human nature to be less so .

My thoughts exactly. Usually the early bird offer extends to Xmas so this is quite concerning.

And doing the maths, it looks like the South Stand admission is increasing from £19 to £22 and the East Stand from £22 to £25. OK, it's the first increase for quite some time, but the admission has got way ahead of itself since the 90s when it broke a fiver, since which time it's quadrupled but the average salary has hardly doubled.

I think we can wave goodbye to attracting new fans if we're asking them to stump up over 20 quid for lower tier RL. And the 15% increase will probably be wiped out by an equivalent decrease in the crowd, so self defeating imo.

How come every thread turns into a doom n gloom scenario where the clubs on the verge of imploding. The narrative is always speculative negativity.

Why is stating the admission will be increasing to £22 / £25 "speculative"? It's a fact. And in my opinion it's a bad move as it won't attract new fans. It's not "doom and gloom", it's quite obvious, don't yer think? Sorry we're not all such fun loving dudes like yerself, Listenup.

Thanks for the apology, it’s appreciated, the club sells some season tickets in a positive spin and as per usual you n greg turn into the tribulation twins donned in the end is nigh placards . Give it a rest is effing depressing.

Don't you tell me what to do, who the hell do you think you are? ******

You crying again?

How do you put a positive spin on a director resigning yet keeping exactly the same role that he had and us announcing a season ticket offer before this season has even ended? I presume we would have been running the same offer up to Christmas anyway so it looks very much like a cash grab to anyone using common sense. Maybe it is to get a killer signing over the line, it could be something like that but throw in the Durgan news and you feel that might be a stretch.

If one of the other directors left an executive role I’d be more worried but durgan is no Ian croad who is a slick operator. He seems like a busy man on is socials and he probably underestimated the amount of time and energy it took .

Letting people know how much next seasons ticket prices are going to be as early as possible and the best ways of how to make savings and keeping those options open for as long as possible seems like a positive thing to me.

I for one can now decide whether to buy season tickets and pay hundreds in advance but make the savings or spread the cost, pay more on the day and the latter option will turn out not to be a cash grab.

But his role has not changed, I thought he said that himself apart from his director obligations which would have only been taking up his accountants time.
