catalans stadium development for one. i have been for last 7 years and the stadium changes year on year! they are also developing through the off season again! and the hospitality is awesome

A new entry system card swipe or whatever could be rented with maintenance included in the cost.

Of course it could.
In the sector I work in cashless sytems offering much much more are easily affordable.
I could have a ten minute call with the clubs putting them in contact with companies that could do everything on a membership card that is very affordable.

Don't really don't think it's a 'man up' thing I think its probably more a pride thing!
I witnesses, not long ago surely one of Tinity's longest serving fans, being approached and in my opinion being 'bullied' by stewards, because he is rather vocal and has been for his 60 odd years as a supporter.
His love for the club and the team is such that wild horses would not keep him away - over zealous stewards have no chance!
I honestly don't think they'd keep me away either.

Clearly he has his reasons and most discussing don't know the details so let's not start assuming things guys.

Yeah, best left alone but we do need ALL fans getting tickets so I hope Big Al and his family do, whatever the crisis was.

We won't be getting any tickets as it stands. MC and CB don't seem at all bothered they are potentially going to lose 8 adult season ticket holders over something they got wrong. A few of us may go to some away games, that's about it unfortunately.

Chatting to a pal of mine yesterday, I hadn't realised that the club aren't going to offer student tickets, meaning those fans who are still studying and with little income (if any) will have to pay the full £250 (£220 early bird).

How many fans take up the student S/T and how are they expected to afford the jump in cost of a full price S/T ?

The stewards are peanut brains who need a team meeting with Mick about repeat business skills as we the fans pay their wages for attending. A meeting should take place but come on you cannot stop watching your beloved club because of a over zelous peanut brain steward!

I think in the main this is an error in the pricing policy. It's not too late to consider students as a concession as it benefits no one with their likely non-attendance because of cost. I know Trinity have started up their own facility but link ups with educational institutions can only be be a positive, especially with the City of Wakefield looking to start up a University of their own.

This unfortunately.

As it stands this bit of the family has probably watched their last Trin game.

Have you really thought out this post!!!

your missing the point. Al and the rest of the family have stopped coming because of how MC and more so CB have dealt with it. CB met with Al and fobbed him off, backing the stewards and blaming Al himself. And refusing to apologise. We understand the stewards can get things wrong but the club are at fault here!

Some of this makes very unpleasant reading.

There appear to be regular problems with some of he stewarding on match days and the rules appear to change, without notice, at regular intervals.
Whilst I have no sympathy with folk that are drunk and abusive being turned away, it is absolutely crazy for the club to alienate long standing decent fans.
What happened to "the customer is always right".

It's really disappointing to hear that loyal fans feel that things are so bad that they have to walk away form their club and let's hope that either time or someone from the club can perhaps remedy some of the individual cases, it would certainly be worth the time and effort.

I think the jump in concessions for OAPs from 60-65 has affected some too, including my dad. He is unlikely to renew and will just pay when he comes, which also affects my decision to renew as we may not come to as many games when other stuff is on.
