A lot of fans now without a season ticket don’t bother going. 22 pounds to sit in the main stand or shoved in a corner with a crap view. No thanks i’ll pass on that one. There are 4 of us that don’t bother now there must be loads more. As earlier poster said we should’ve getting 10K for that game at least. To say the new owners are supposed to be clever they are throwing away thousands every game because of fans not attending.

They are clever. Virtually every seat is sold, even if people don't come. That's money in the bag. Under the old regime we used to have lots of offers and promotions but they often didn't bring that many extra sales. In this league the season can be all but over with a few weeks still to go. Far better to get most of our revenue in advance.

Yeah I live 3 and a half hours away and will still get a season ticket ,but will probably pick and choose the one's that are on TV to miss - bet there will be others similiar .
Loads of free streams will be available aswell , for the televised games , lets face it you can find one now for most games .
I wonder whether the deal will actually lose lower league clubs money ,or if all the regulars and others team away regulars will keep gates relatively high?
Kick off times might effect quite a lot of people being able to go to certain games to.
As an excile, and with travelling costs two to three times the cost of a ticket price I am no longer a ST holder and up till last season was quite selective about which games to watch. Now with decent seats being sold to to ST holders , many of whom don’t go, I’m likely to watch more away fixtures than home. Pity, but that’s a fact of life.

10k ? No chance As for the view in the corner so long as your not near the away fans the view is unspoiled. No posts at all

i-follow has allowed anybody to have the choice to watch every league game each day in the comfort of their own room for approx £40 per year. I was switching from Grimsby to Wrexham every time a goal went in. As i-follow is approx 2 mins behind real time if you have the app flashscore on your monitor, you'll never miss a goal hence the switch. Hadn’t realised that. It certainly should make the owners cautious about extending ground capacity and definitely will rule out ground move. I’ve little doubt that they will improve the ground facilities including more hospitality and posh seats, but can’t see why a capacity of over 10,000 will ever be needed other than on a few occasions which is not an economic case for expansion or relocation

BP hasn’t changed. How long have you and your 3 mates not been going?

I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a while Yoda… Me Dave Stupot We still go. Every home match. Sometimes away. We just tell you we don’t anymore so we don’t have to sit there explaining which way we’re playing, which colour kit we’re wearing and how Bisto granules are solid in the tub, not liquid.

So why don’t you go now? You haven’t actually got a point have you.
