Get a life mate! I take my 8 year old son and he hasn't left his seat once all season. As for the beer-guzzling adults around us....

Exactly what I was thinking.

At least the kids are in their seats for kick off. Quite a few of my 'neighbours' are still at the bar or making their way to their seat as the game starts.

Like YoYo's around us, can't go 10 minutes without a pint or a p*ss.

It's the first one.
Once you pop....

I'm guessing 'Afewpintslater' is a beer-guzzling adult with no kids! How did I ever work that one out!

im looking at the difference between junior and concession (student/oap)

game days same price (£11), but theres £102 in difference for season tickets.

and that imo is where we are going wrong.
young adults cant afford them(they are either at college, doing apprenticeships, training up as summat, or signing on, either way they are on low incomes)....big leap, so they pay on the day and pick their games, and eventually drift away.

we should take a leaf out Stockport Countys book and introduce a 16-21 season ticket at a more realistic price...say £75.
Many who wouldnt pay £128 might pay £75, and it keeps em here till they are on full adult wages and can afford top whack.
AND i would extent it to the East stand.

The first thing the club needs to do is make the south stand price for kids apply to the East/West stands as well. Behind the sticks is a much poorer view and making the sides more affordable may encourage more parents to bring their kids.

A 16-21 season ticket is a good idea as well, as it may encourage those who drop off once their parents stop funding it/become uncool to go with to continue.

The challenge cup ticket, home shirt discount and usual priority for tickets are rightly still in place.

Get the free tickets back in the schools!

Does that not still happen?

I wasn't thinking about it from a selfish point of view. I'm fine, i'll get a good deal as usual from the renewal price. I just don't think it will entice any new season ticket holders who may want to buy one at the last minute.

Actually just re-looking at it is that £25 right? I don't know what that full price column represents.

I know it doesn't happen in my old school any more.
My cousin's school were given tickets for ONE game last year. Not sure which one, but it was a one off and I'm not 100% that the tickets actually came from the club itself.

I remember it happening at my old primary school. There are more than enough empty seats for the club to restart this.

i have 4 kids with season tickets...........and all 4 began by going to games on freebies from school, or the vouchers from the WEP.

i think that tells you giving out freebies is a way forward.

Most kids will be taken by an adult who will pay full entrance fee. Half time food and drink. Extra money for the club.

The fixtures will be out before the early bird price finishes wont they?
