I’ll stake my claim to be one of those few arguing against many that our crowds would plummet and we would see a sort of resurgence/return of fans. Glad I was proved right. I’d love to care enough to go hunting some past posts and quote them but don’t care enough to make that effort.

Season tickets will be raised but I don’t think they’ll be shot up to full price just yet.

I suspect if I had to guess it would be something like:

North - £150 > £180-£200. Child - Free > £20.

East - £250 > £270-£280. Child - Free > £30.

West - £100 > £130-£150. Child - Free > £15.



Some of those would go up a bit more in 2026. I can’t see he would just bolt them right up.

I think at the above prices we would see as many season tickets sold as this season.

Away fans won’t be £10 all season either but I do think he will keep them low to encourage away SL support to come in numbers - maybe raise from £10 > £15. Clubs like Leeds/Cas/Hull/KR would travel very well at £15 an adult ticket.

There has to be a step up in pricing but still with the ability to pull in numbers too.

Just a punt above but we shall see.

Are you saying you don't think Ellis is being positive? He's made loads of changes and spent a hell of a lot of money to encourage people to come.

I didn't say they were or should wait. They are just trying to make an intelligent decision on where to focus first.

They can't just magic up a 10k ready to go stadium.

Where did I say Ellis isn't positive , I’m speaking my mind on a forum that’s all , the man is very experienced in the world of kitchens sales and promotions, can that be brought over to an entertainment business , hopefully. Ellis is the best thing to happen to this club in possibly 50 years , but fortunately we all have our own opinions , even if that goes against the grain , after all poptart that is what a forum is all about ,peoples opinions

You don't have to use the 'this is a forum' thing. You can say what you like. I'm just asking what you mean, as in response to a previous post you implied that analysing the crowds before building was not the right way and "surely he must be positive and".... implies to me you don't think he is being positive.

I don't care if you don't. It's completely your opinion. I was just trying to understand it.

Let's be realistic and face it - Matt Ellis will do what he thinks is best....
I for one are more than happy to let him get on with it....

Drove past the ground today the gantry looks excellent just like a mini stand

Here is the photo for those who don’t want to follow the link.

Unbelievable really looking at that picture , but will be an easy achievable makeover for matts team of shop fitters . The old decrepit parts of the stadium are slowly but surely being replaced with state of the art facilities, a stadium once again to be proud of in the not too distant future if Matt continues with his vision for the club

If he keeps feeding the shareholders their combined increased girths will obviously restrict the space available.

I had a look at the new TV gantry this morning while at the meeting, that is impressive,

Damn. I meant to take a photo!

We'll all see it tomorrow.

It effectively looks a lot sturdier and has a room and wall separating two rooms
