Not too fussed about the £20 increase, and is probably as a result of our success on the pitch.

However, what does concern me is the value of a season ticket. Getting a bit fed up with all the 'offers' that the club has been coming up with (6 tickets for £30, free tickets for St. George's day match to Heinz/ Worthingtons, etc.- sure there are others I can't remember). I understand why the club runs promotions to try to get 'new' people through the gate, but feel it does undermine the value of a season ticket. Just to highlight theorectically:

2011 season ticket for me = £206 / 13 games = £15.84 per game

However, I know 3 people with season tickets, so could get 3 games at £5 with their scrum tickets. Also, could get my hands on one of the free Heinz tickets through a work colleague at say £10. Further to that I missed a game this year due to other commitments, so assume I cannot make a game next year.

So, £206 - £15 - £10 = £181.00 / 9 games - 1 missed = £22.63 per game, which makes it cheaper to buy on the door for these 8 games.

Overall, I am happy to pay this premium to have a reserved seat in the East and can afford the cost at present. However, if I sat in the South with no reserved seat or money was tight for whatever reason, I would be giving thought to cherry picking which games to go to.

A good deal, but I wish my dad could still 'lift me over'.

My thinking exactly. We will more than likely get drenched tomorrow and be stood up all the way through.. Tickets have cost the same as what a home ticket costs and at the DW we are under cover, dry and seated with some pretty fantactic facilities.

Any rise is never welcome by the people paying it but when the rise means its still as cheap or even still cheaper than other grounds of a poorer standard then its daft to complain. for the sake of £1.60 a month it wont be putting me off next season

I ask my dad to lift me over at one game this season..He said "Gaz your 26 and 14st for fooks sake"
