130 season tickets already sold

Out of interest what distance from Grimsby/Cleethorpes would an exile ticket begin, 10/20/50 miles plus?

That i believe is the biggest problem.

If a shift worker buys a book of say 10 tickets then it is difficult for the club to stop me doing the same. a sort of dipping my toe in the water to see how the season pans out rather than going for a full season ticket on day one.

Yeah, that's the risk. Like I said, it has to be finely balanced. If there was a bit of discount but not much for the book of 10/15 to keep your full ST worth buying.

Another option is some form of reward scheme. When you buy your 10th ticket, get a voucher to spend at the club.

I’m sorry to knock this exiles thing a few posters are banging on about but wtf should the club subsidise exiles ? It’s a personal decision to move away from the gy area . The club doesn’t subsidise STH away travel or tickets and they put money in on a far bigger scale than exiles .

I don't see an exiles ST as the club subsidising people. It's about getting us to spend more money and turn up more often. I've probably only been to about 4 home games a season for the last few years. I'd be tempted to buy a book of 10 with the bonus the old dear will see her little boy more often.

I don't get the idea of a discounted away ticket for anyone let alone exiles. Impractical.

But the club should give proper consideration to the exiles/shift worker package. Even if the considered decision is 'it wouldn't be viable' and communicated that clearly, that'd be something.

I won’t happen anyway and I’ll buy my season ticket as usual, and as it’s been pointed out it’s my fault for moving away so why should I expect a reduction?

I want to know if I can reclaim my discount as a lifetime trust member having already paid £305 full price.
No one told me about the 5% discount and happily took my money online!

As an Exile living 70 miles away from Blundell Park I travelled to 22 Home Games and 8 away this season. Tickets ,travel, accommodation,(Barnet  and FGR) and Trust membership total around £1100. That is with benefit of O.A.P. prices and Senior Railcard. If I had been a STH I would have saved £70 approx. My rash decision to leave Habrough 50 years ago appears expensive but I hope to be a STH for the first time next season deal or no deal! Lots of others pay far more.
For some, deals of various hue can make a big difference but for me it would be  a positive gesture from the club to all who have kept the club going in the bad times as well as the good.
On balance, if there is any wiggle room on rewards for fans, priority should perhaps be given to families in some way.

I sent you a p.m. giving details of how you can still get a refund Mr P.

Yes MarinerWY, it’s the travelling to home matches that costs us so we need some reduction on the season ticket as a whole as far as I’m concerned.

Since I moved away from the town 30 odd years ago I have a fairly short round trip of 120 miles and travel to every home game but I accept that as it was my decision to move due to getting another job I pay the going price.
