The thing that has annoyed me is the clubs insitence on taking the money out on Monday 19th....
1) 3 Days notice from ticket prices being announced (Though we roughly knew what to expect)
2) The main gripe though is seeing as it is for most people the last week before they get paid, in January, known as being the longest month between pay days, the club couldn't use some commen sense & say we'll take the money on the 1st Feb. It's a small gesture but would gain them some good will from the fans. How many of you are going to be pushing money wise to pay day now? When the money comes out on Monday it will be over 5 weeks till the game, surely by waiting a week & a bit they would still be able sort out all ticket relocations etc... They know the demand is there.
Since Decembers pay, i reckon roughly people could potentially have had to pay for
West Brom away I'm guessing £40 +
Sheff Wed Home - £15 - £25
Boro Home - £17.50 - £25
Chelsea away Circa £58
Stoke Away - £40
Arsenal Home (for non season ticket holders) - £40 +
There might be more but thats off the top of my head. but add in another £45 - £60 at what is the time when most of the UK are skint..... Nice one, Thank god we didn't get to the League Cup Semis!
(I fully get that I should expect this when I sign up to the scheme as I have been on since it started, but I just feel the club had the chance to do soemthing useful for the fans & they have failed badly!)
in order to have your money taken out of your account on Monday you need to be in the CL scheme, therefore you must be a seasoncard holder
by my reckoning then you must be the only seasoncard holder who pays twice for home games and double for half price games
this month you would not have forked out for:
WBA away as the tickets sold out in early December
Chelsea away was £29.50 not £58
Arsenal at home already paid for
nothing like over egging the pudding is there mate
January is always a tough month, and has been for some while, as we seem to get lots of home cup games thrown in and additional league game, which has been away several times
