At the moment if you buy a season ticket it still works out at good value,even at platinum it is about £33 a game in the South stand.Buying tickets on the day seems to be where people get stung and if i am honest i would baulk at the thought of paying £50-60 a league game,in my opinion that is way over the top.
I hate this idea too of having to pay every season for the privilage of having the chance to buy a ticket,when you have supported the club for years,i absolutely hate it!
I feel we as a club are now at a crossroads where ticketing and reationships with the fans go and the club has to be very careful it doesn't get too carried away in all this corporate together/experiance gobbledygook and remain a bit more grounded and true to our roots.
Most of the long suffering fans genuinely thought we would die without ever seeing us win anything again and just remaining a mid table average side.Although we want us to win trophies every season of course,we are now satiated beyond our wildest dreams.I have seen us win TWO league titles in a couple of seasons,something we only achieved twice in over a hundred years prior to that.Add to that a couple of cups and anything else now is window dressing,we have achieved more than we ever thought we would see,seriously.I could walk away now happy and catch the odd game on tv,secure in the knowledge i did my bit in the dark days and we are now back at the top table once more and unlikely to fall from it.
The danger is i fear a lot of old standing fans may feel the same and it won't take much for those same fans struggling financially to stop going,leaving a void you can't really replace.As i said a crossroads we are at,i feel the club needs to slow down and take stock at this moment in time.
