Dewsbury when relegated in 2007/8 offered the lowest priced season ticket prices in NL1 for 2008/9 were cheaper at the turnstile and have bounced back this season with an increased following. So who's right?
Watched my first Dons game in 1961 and been one of the faithfull ever since but will probably go to more away games and less at home especially as there are several grounds nearer to me than Keepafloat who will be charging less for senior's .
You pays your money and takes your pick.

Pensioners are in general better off at the moment than most people working.

Under cutting yourselves on the kids price Carl

Comeon Marshland stop winding people up & give us your views as asked in a previous posting in this thread.

Todays pensioners are better off than any previous generation and are better off than future generations will be. The taxes being paid by the workers now are paying todays pensions. I appreciate they have paid their dues over the years but i do not think what the club is asking for a season ticket is over the top considering it as a one off payment which lasts you all of the year.

Its the % increase thats the problem I think for both season ticket & match day prices.

Fact to back this up please--

Had you said pensioners are in general better off a the moment than most unemployed people i would have tendered to agree with you.

But working people no way.

Don't let him sidetrack you into a separate issue.
Unemployment, poor pensioners, rich pensioners on company pensions are to be found everywhere.....Donny is in no way a special case.....although I would propose that we have a fair share of poorish state-only pensioners with top up benefits.
The point is that most other clubs recognise the concession and preserve it.
Donny is swimming against the tide and it is not justified.
And if they persist it won't be forgotten....and I for one will seriously consider not going to home games, instead just some away games..
And it is not that I can't afford it......it's the same principle that stops me buying beer at the Keepmoat when I know I am being ripped off.

Cue someone accusng me of moaning in another attempt at deflection.
Anyway...I will say NO MORE about this!!!!

The article quoted above states the average weekly wage is now 549.80 !
Not in our house it isn't !
Many people are struggling at the momemt, not just pensioners. However i appreciate what people are saying. Maybe if we weren't paying out for all the free loaders coming into the country we would all be better off but that's going off the subject.
I still think it's not a bad price though when compared with what you pay in SL to see past it Aussies etc.

There are people who only receive OAP who pay income tax and if they receive any other pension they pay tax

As i said i appreciate people have paid their dues over the years but the club needs to draw money in from somewhere. Without being funny it is not a charity and we need to start as we mean to go on.
Do you really think the price of a season ticket is that bad for Seniors ?

We are talking about matchday prices mainly which are not proportionate to adult prices. I think we will be talking with our feet after 58 years supporting the club

No given an ordinary season with a settled side, but with a good few years of turmoil behind it Doncaster RL is not a club IMO that folk are prepared to gamble on a season ticket, whatever the price. I will not be buying a season ticket and will take it game for game. That is the whole point, why set the matchday senior price at a level that is off putting to the hardned fans who think likewise, never mind the casual fans that may decide to come down if the team performs accordingly. The club is not a charity I grant you, but neither are the bloody long suffering folk who have been there through thick and thin. The club needs to be a trusted organization and overpricing its OAP fans ain't doing much for that trust.
