         After perusing through the 'Greater Together' booklet, which is a booklet that advertises which season tickets are available,
     I noticed that the Osmond stand is now called the 'away' stand and the John Smiths is just the Upper and Lower.
    Now, do you think this is an error on behalf of the people who produced the booklet or just because those stands are not available to buy season tickets. ( Have you noticed I've called them season tickets not 'Passes' as those across the river)

Maybe still making arrangements for sponsorship of the Upper and Lower next season?

And the naming rights for John Smiths have lapsed. Different beer in the bar and 'boxes'?

Think it was Upper/Lower last season too.

It hasn't been called the John Smiths Stand since 2004.

The sponsor history is as follows...

1982-93: Findus
1993-97: Stones Bitter
1997-2004: John Smith's
2004-09: Carlsberg
2009-16: Findus
2016-22: Young's
2022-present: No sponsor

I still think of it as a season ticket (old habits die hard) but technically is it? We now have a plastic card that’s scanned which allows us to pass through the turnstiles so maybe that’s the explanation of a change from ST to SP 🙃

ST all day long for me Tim. I can't say that I'm more likely to buy one with your picture in the booklet though!

The last 10 games I used my 9 yr old grandsons ST, it was scanned and I was allowed through. My Grandson used mine in front of me , how easy is it to scam the system, why can't we have different coloured ST's.
Please stop calling ST's  season passes we ain't 'ull.

When the QR code is scanned it tells the operator what sort of ticket it is.

And re: the season ticket v season pass argument… what does it say on the front of your card?

“Season Pass”
