It's become noticeable that the club are gradually leaving many original, pre take-over, fans behind. Success on the field and building state of the art facilities that will ultimately provide a good monetary return, does not equate to actually caring and being considerate.
I gave up hope long ago of a Franck Muller or Patek Phillip in the Season Ticket gift box ;-, - (oh look another scarf), but the completely unnecessary decision to do this, is an absolutely shameful disgrace.
I have been saying this for a while and believe it or not there are enough "I'm alright Jacks" knocking about who claim to have socialist ideals but just not on this subject.
Quite happy to clap their hated 1%ers in the stadium as the club continues to shaft its legacy fans.
Surely that’s not his sole income then? That’s what I’m referring to.My mate does , it's the only time he gets to spend not caring

Yep that's all he gets , he gave up work to care full timeSurely that’s not his sole income then? That’s what I’m referring to.
What? His ‘ONLY’ income is Carers allowance of £81/week and he buys a ticket for each game which costs over half that? How does he afford to live, eat, accommodation, clothes, fuel. He must have other means of income or savings. Or a wealthy partnerYep that's all he gets , he gave up work to care full time

Can you not see any difference?. Based on what you’re saying we may as well get rid of all the schemes which help disabled people. I’m actually bewildered at your response.What about all those that are not disabled but struggle with money but still have to pay for Parking. The spaces are there to make sure those who need it can park close, no need for it to be free. I'd except it being reduced cost like a senior citizen season ticket but it shouldn't be free. Those well off season ticket holders don't pay double the price on tickets though do they, but they pay for parking lol.
Disabled people in particular are some of the most vulnerable people in society and often are on low incomes. Why are you ok with preventing them from attending games (accessibility) and pricing some of them out.
