You say that but for the Pontoon Stand...

Young Adult (19-21) - £190
Individual Match Ticket cost £18
ST = price of 10.55 MTs offering a saving of 54.2% over a season.

Young Adult (15-1 - £130
Individual Match Ticket cost £13
ST = price of 10 MTs offering a saving of 56.6% over a season.

Accompanied Junior (1-14) - £70
Individual Match Ticket cost £5
ST = price of 14 MTs offered a saving of 39.2% over a season.

The saving for Juniors is much lower than for the Young Adult price catergories. If Young Adult [15-18] STs are set at the price of 10 match tickets then so should Junior STs. Which would mean them being £50 (10 x £5).


The problem with that is at £50, adults are buying a season ticket next to them just to reserve the seat with no intention of a kid ever going.  It happens.

Its league football and one of the lowest prices in the league.

A rise is normal, cant find anything to moan about here .

That was clearly a one off example though isn't it. 14 years ago they were £60. £20 is not sustainable for a junior ticket so stop talking daft!


Why isn't it? You better put that in an email and send it to the following 2016-17 Sky Bet League Two clubs who think differently...

Accrington Stanley - FREE
Cheltenham Town - FREE
Colchester United - FREE
Crewe Alexandra - FREE
Morecambe - FREE
Newport County - FREE
Blackpool - £5 (FREE but must join Young Seasiders @ £5)
Leyton Orient - £9
Carlisle United - £10 under 11s / FREE under 7s
Crawley Town - £20

And maybe contact the following clubs who price them for less than £50...

Stevenage - £25
Doncaster Rovers - £30
Yeovil Town - £39
Notts County - £45 under 18s / FREE under 7s
Exeter City - £46
Luton Town - £50

The following are price the same or slightly more than GTFC, but their junior category extends to under 18s and they offer FREE STs for the youngest fans...

Wycombe Wanderers - £70 under 18s / FREE under 7s
Portsmouth - £80 under 18s / FREE under 9s
Mansfield Town - £85 under 18s / FREE under 7s

There are 2 clubs who offer a more expensive cheapest Junior ST than Town though...

Hartlepool United - £75
Barnet - £84 (£7 per month membership)

In defence of Hartlepool though their adult STs only cost £250 making 1 adult + 1 child for £325.

Summary

Of all the clubs in League 2 next season only Barnet charge their young fans more than Town. Absolutely shameful!

The adult price rises are more than fair, almost exactly what everybody expected.

What we didn't expect is the clubs total lack of initiative to attract new fans. It's almost like the club have seen the great support we've had over 6 years in the conference and just presumed it'll increase without any effort.

You can't beg for a new stadium, beg to be brought into the modern age by it whilst your PR department is still being run by cave men.

I'm pretty sure we still offer the free child season ticket with an adult in the Main stand don't we?

No, that went years ago when they introduced the £20 accompanied ST in all stands. And since then that price has gone up 250%.
