And the travel to and from Durham and the away games , and the tickets I bought for family, and the shirts, and club lotttery, and the food and drink that went with it. Probably talking 2 to 3 grand a season

Code for someone who criticises the running of the club.

No other posters can make their own minds up on what to do.

But I am not going to put money into a club that is so badly run that it can only effectively lurch from crisis to crisis.

I was happy to follow Huddersfield when they were poor but the situation for the last few years seems to me to be entirely made by those that run the club.

Regardless of the number of fans or money coming in there is no excuse for the poor recruitment, the incompetence of the managers the inability to get little things right. If people like Bilko cannot get through to buy tickets that is just second rate service.

Yet no one is held to account.

Still people like Spaines road fartown and Jools will say keep the faith, we are only two or three signings from being a good team and peddle the lies that come from Thewlis et al. I gave up believing in the promised land as soon as I left all saints.

I made my choice and feel happier for it.

For someone who claims to “support” the giants I’m yet to see any evidence of that.

I look at it this way- over 65s are still paying less than at most other clubs even at £149. At Cas and wakey they pay more than this to STAND. They aren’t paying any more than anyone else- and marketing wise it makes more sense- without sounding insensitive how many over 65s are suddenly going to get interested in the giants when they haven’t before? My mum did at 70ish- but it’s not the norm, and she’s 80 next year so future wise there’s less return from someone like my mum. Younger people have potentially more outlets demanding on their resources leisure wise - so makes sense to target them more ferociously.
From the club point of view People over 65 are more likely to already be lifelong fans and are less likely to not renew regardless. So less lost revenue.

well i suppose i will renew my season ticket but would get more enjoyment throwing the money in the river than what the giants have given me in the last few years or so

Silly question that we don't have 25,000 fans, but it's a fair bet that unlike your club, at those prices we would sell more than you.

Durham i think you need to change your nam to Durham Was a Giant or Durham ex-giants as you are clearly no longer a supporter of them

but you did sell them at cheaper than that and you still sold less than we did !!

If everyone was like you, there would be no season ticket sales, therefore the club would not be able to invest in new players. But we have good young players coming through also who are worth watching. Winning at all costs is not the be-all and end-all of watching sport. You my friend can not be called a supporter of the Giants if you are picking and choosing games to watch, a supporter supports through thick and thin not just when the going`s good.

You’re weird!

Spot on.

Well me and the wife go and we are highly delighted with the price of the tickets and we are both 75 years old, our prices are way lower than all the other clubs, and appreciate the prices Ken has produced. I know we get no age concessions but it is acceptable with these prices. I would say that over 20s are well capable of paying our prices though as income from working is far greater than the pension. It`s an absolute give-away for 20 - 30s.

Maybe you should change your name to Thewlis cheerleader.

What I find really interesting about the likes of spaines jools and Scorpio is that despite alll the value points made by posters about how bad the club is run or criticising the organisation or the poor recruitment all they come back with is that We are proper fans you are not a fan because you are not as loyal as us.

All said in a slightly superior tone.

You are not supporters or fans you are just cheerleaders who blindly accept the crap that you are served up and then blame other supporters for not being as loyal as you.

The question you need to ask is why is the club doing so badly ? why are fans leaving in droves ? and why do you celebrate when others are critical of the club and move away from the club.?
