Quote: BostonSpaTiger "I have just read the questions and answers on the club website regarding access to the Wheldon Road End for matches. So for the privilege of standing there for a game, I now have to pay at least £50 for a bronze membership.
I don't live in Cas and can now only get to about half of the games each year but I have followed Cas for about 15 years, and for most years have had a season ticket. The membership scheme is no good to me as I can't use discounts where I live, and times are hard for everyone, not just the club and I can't afford to shell out £50 on top of the ticket prices.
I therefore can only assume that I am now not classed as a "loyal fan" and am not deemed worthy enough to stand on the kop where I have always stood. I probably won't bother coming at all now. This is not the way to win fans!'"
Do you buy merchandise? There's 10% off with a membership. Plus if you are coming from further afield, are you likely to pop to Xscape for something to eat? There's discounts there too.
I miss a fair few home matches a year, due to family do's and holidays, etc, so I bought myself a bronze membership. It's fairly unlikely that I'll use the discounts (apart from the merchandise discount) but I still got a membership anyway because I want to show my support for the club.
