Had a quick browse and I see (as usual) the club are quoting our early bird prices against non-early bird prices of other clubs. An example...
Scunthorpe United's early bird prices are quoted [url=https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2019/march/12th-man-packages-frozen-until-april-30th/]here[/url].
On the GTFC [url=https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2019/may/season-ticket-information-pack-now-available/]season ticket pack[/url] it states their cheapest seating ticket is £400 when it was actual £360.
I do note however that even GTFC are "happy" to show that our Kids season tickets are the most expensive in League Two. How is that possible for a club in a low income area?
Another example of short term thinking by those running the club. The sooner Fenty and co are gone the better.

Ahh yes, "our budget is too small", "we don't want to pay more", "we want the club to be sustainable". They can't all happen, so make your bloody mind up.

Yeah.....it still p!sses me off though when tinpot clubs like Salford and FGR have big budgets to spend on players and we just scrape by flirting with relegation.

Well why don`t you tell your chums get pro active and get somebody in who can actually run the Club day to day with a 2019 mentality instead of being stuck in 1979 and there little exercise book.

That's because they have rich owners who subsidise their prices. We haven't so we have to live with it.
I will renew mine just like I have for many years previous. All the money raised goes to the club so the more they sell the more money available to Jolley to get better players in. If you don't renew yours you can't moan about the lack of quality on the pitch.

YES, OUR BUDGET IS WAY TOO SMALL. But that’s not because the fans don’t pay enough. It’s because the likes of old ‘Shut up’ and Co are far too inept at sorting out ways to increase income, other than fleecing our long suffering (but rapidly dwindling) loyal fans.

I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Still forgetting the millions we drunk up the wall by the inept twits that run this club by dragging us into non league.

As has been mentioned so many times it's unbelievable, the club seem to be under the illusion that they don't need to do anything as people will still turn up. So why should they be proactive about it?
Here's why. There are clubs going down the swanny (no scunt pun intended) as sky,btsport etc see tv football as the holy grail. Fans are ever more being attracted towards the premier league, champions league etc and the £££££££'s that the clubs gain every season. Now, wouldn't you prefer to see town tops in the area instead of teams 100's of miles away. Of course there will be kids brought up supporting other teams but, can't the club do something to attract people to blundell park instead of sitting watching Geoff and the boys!
The club has rested on their laurels for too long, and I fear what the reproctions could be if nothing is done. We have a ground that is at best half full most of the time. It's about time that those working at the club (or at least leading it) started to earn their wage

An adult with 2 kids is £360 at Scunthorpe in their seating area. It's £465 for the same at Town. How can anyone justify that? I would guess that most people on the Fishy support Town because their dad or a family member took them. If it's not affordable to watch GTFC as a family then where are the next generation of full paying adult fans going to come from?
