Well certainly most seniors.
Perhaps you would like to tell me what YOU think they should pay?

Quote: weighman "Bruce , it wasnt mentioned about the £10 admission for games but it was on the application forms handed out to those who attended !

For what its worth I think the club needs to have a re think on the Pensioners prices !'"


Strange that it wasn't actually mentioned though Paul.
Even though the kid for a £1 was mentioned in great detail at the Forum.
To be honest had it been mentioned i'm sure someone would have questioned the logic of it.

I agree Bruce.

I think the match day & season ticket prices are a bit high. My father in law commented on that when he saw the prices.

But the whole point is that the OAP price has been upped by £4 on last years price.
Thats a rise as others have already pointed out of over 66%

If its not ok in your view to raise the Adult price by £1.

Then it's surely can't be fair to raise the OAP price by £4.

The club is rightly so being run on a tight budget--but there will be many OAP supporters
out there also on a tight budget and we can't afford to lose anymore supporters next season.

And there are a good few adult's who have been brought to the game by their parents
who are now OAP's and if one stops coming the others may choose not to come also.

I think it is the principle as much as the actual money.....it's just not right to hike a price by two thirds to some of the least well off.

Hi All

Just to inform you on the season ticket prices when we were in this Division 2008 the prices were as follows.

Adult Season
Senior Citizen
Under 16's were £6 or £40 for season ticket.

We are trying our best to keep it simple there were about 7/8 ticket prices before which is confussing to everyone.

Most people are happy with the OAP season ticket price which covers NRC group games and all league games works out under £7 a game, so solution buy season ticket.

And what I will say is we do care about everyone but we also understand not everyone will be happy with the decision's we have to make.

We appricate all our loyal fan's support.

Carl Hall

Carl .
The match attendance fee was reduced after complaints to the chairman

Yes Carl.. ...but even at those prices the differential was acceptable.
As I have said before senior prices are typically half of adult plus £2 about.
So based on a £15 adult ticket, the senior ticket should be £7.50 + £2 =£9.50......so the actual one of £10 was about right.

However this time you have set it too high....OR....the adult price too low.

What about away support they will be paying at the gate and won't be impressed.

And as for season tickets.....in recent years people have been put off....by the fact that we lost half the team two years out of three and would sooner pay at the gate just in case.

Mr Hall

"Solution buy a season ticket" Thats your idea of listening to you core support. Sorry I disagree, and the squad that we were watching in 2008 was in my opinion a tad better than the current one. And if the senior fans do not wish to buy a season ticket thats it then.

We can't argue with you and have to lump it. Great start to your Chief Exec role.

I paid £60 for my season ticket last season at the beginning of January, which makes a 33% increase for next season for playing in a lower league.As I had to miss some matches due to holidays, special occasions I see no point in buying a season ticket for next season based on the proposed increase. Probably £70 would be more acceptable with a reduced match day price of £8

A 66% increase at the turnstile for an OAP cannot be justified whatever way it's looked at.

How would the club feel if the Kit Manufacturer asked for 66% extra---
It would argue it's case and if the Manufacturer refused to budge it would take it's business elswhere i'm sure.

I hope the club can budge on this one,because we can't afford as a club
to let any of the few remaining loyal fans take there business elsewhere.

As they say times are tight at the moment---but once someone stops supporting the club
it becomes a whole lot harder getting them to return.

It does appear that the Pensioners have been treatd unfairly , with significant increases in prices.

Fair points Bruce. How would the club cope with a 66% hike in rent from the Keepmoat. I hope there is a re-think on the OAP pricing. There would not be enough new blood attending to replace the ones that can't pay that price, for what in essence, is third tier RL.

Although i fully understand Carls point of view with this, and lets not forget he is the one who needs to balance the books, i do wonder about the logic of the decision.

If we say there are on average 100 OAP's attending each home game then that would gross £1000/game at the proposed £10. If 20 were not to attend (£200 gate reciepts) due to the cost then the additional gate reciepts above the suggested £8 (£800 gate reciepts) would be lost. Add to this the possible loss of other family members etc and some loss of good will and i fail to see the logic.

It is obvious from the intial responses and comments placed on this board that there may well be a reasonable number of OAP's who either choose not to or can't afford to attend so i actually think this decision may see a small reduction in the monies taken over the gates.

I really hope Carl and the board have a good think about this as at the fans forum mtg it was stated that the club is going to strive to listen to its supporters and that they are at the core of the club, surely this is the first test of that.

I fully support the new board with Carl and Steve at the helm but urge them not to dismiss the feelings of its oldest serving suporters as these people are part of the history of the club.

COYD.

Well said matey.
Can anyone see the mathematical equality between £15 and £10............... and £12 and £8????

It's not hard. icon_cool.gif
