1 There is lots of funding around for the junior section - classroom etc, which the club have been very good at tapping in to - hence there is strong emphasis on this.

2 There is a massive jump between the cost of a child season ticket and an adult one. I have suggested before that there should be more emphasis on the cost of tickets between the ages of 17 and 21 say. Not easy to do, but I reckon there's a genuine long term benefit to be had from this!

I can't say what happens in the SL or Championship in the UK but at TO they do special 'family' deals www.to13.com/abonnement for example we pay €190 (about £160) for a season ticket which allows a couple plus one child to watch the ten league games plus the two home NRC games plus the annual pre-season friendly against the Catalans really good value IMO - I don't know how this compares to the other Championship clubs ? the club often do special free games for school parties,like most other clubs probably.

This is an excellent point. At my golf club they found that lots of people were junior members paying circa £150 a year then as soon as they turned 18 the membership went up to circa £600 and most people left so the club so came up with a scheme where the membership price went up by £50 a year until you reach the maximum rate.

Maybe we could implement something like this where the price of a season ticket goes up in stages from the junior price until you reach the full adult price.

Pretty women in free, its bound to get the men in then!

There was going to be a supporters group 16-21 run by people of that age group, there were plenty of people who notified the club of their interest but that never got off the ground.
