Quote: Trinity_lurcher "Fair point, but I feel this was the season to keep fans on board. We will get vastly increased central funding this year, so it was the year to not go big on price increases. Plus away support will be significantly higher.'"
That is why the prices are still cheap though.
There are more upgrades, a stronger team to pay for so prices were never going to remain. But they are priced to keep fans on board so I don’t see your point.
Only the east is probably priced along with the rest of SL. North and west are very well priced and certainly north should sell out.
Away fans will come in droves at £15 ticket price per game.
We need to promote big attendances for both utilisation and attendance over 3 years. You can’t just short sightedly look at the short term season picture. We need big attendances this year to build on the 5500 or so average. We need to power creep to 7000 over next few years and that’s why there’s a modest increase not back to previous SL level costs.
The central funding is not to subsidise cheap tickets for fans. That’s not how to become a successful club.
