Utter cobblers? Potentially your gas, electric, water, council tax and possibly your motor and home insurance may go up amongst other things in 12 months time, how many of these do you know about now?  

Can you remember last time the club put the prices up?



Yes the club put them up start of this season

We should be so grateful......we only bankrolled some of the escape the non league season....got an instant price rise last season as a result and now we get a thank you freeze in one hand,  with a price rise warning in the other.....and some selected highlights from other clubs season ticket offers to demonstrate because we are cheaper than the rest we may as well try to keep up instead (despite us being less succesful at home this season).

Why cant this club ever learn when it comes to PR ???

Why not just ;

"On the back of your magnificent support during this eventful season the club are delighted to announce that prices for the forthcoming season will be frozen. Your continued and increased support has helped  swell the budget through the season and allowed us to back the further recruitment of players during this season and plan for next. Thank you and look forward to seeing you cheer the team on to a targeted promotion. UTM."

No need to try and make us feel grateful about being cheaper, are we not one of the most deprived areas of the country ? Did Paul Hurst write this statement before he left cos it sounds like the club are hinting that we have been "spoilt".  

As Headingly says...completely lazy, half @rsed approach to arguably your most loyal supporters.

Aye that'll be me, happily my laziness won't cost any fishy members any extra on their tickets. Yeah i think it's lazy to just look at the average price of the league and raise prices accordingly. Surely there are more imaginative ways to remain competitive? I'd be interested to know how the trust board member voted on this.


Pretty sure he doesn't post on here. Why not send an enquiry to enquiries@marinerstrust.co.uk and ask the question?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

That's the sort of post I'd have written if I wasn't lazy and illiterate. Very well put!

I like the comparison chart on there. I'd noticed how much more some southern clubs charge.

I wouldnt take them at face value....explore those figures... for instance at Lincoln you can get an adult and junior package for £341, £311 if you are renewing and their dearest adult renewal is £299 which is £43 lower than the price the club have chosen to use in that example.

I wouldnt say the club have printed false information but those figures are misleading if you care to look deeper.

One for trading standards then? Simplify it for me If you choose to buy a season ticket for 17/18 does it cost you more than it did for 16/17?
