I speak as someone who can afford these prices. This is a hugely disappointing move by the club.
I have been prepared to accept the price hikes hitherto as just within the bounds of acceptability. That line has now been crossed.
As others have said, this has little bearing on the club's bottom line, and as such displays an attitude towards supporters which is, at best, negligent, and at worst, contemptuous.
For this project to remain in any way virtuous it needs to retain the support of those who were there through those dark, dark days that have helped define this club and make it unique.
The club are playing with fire here if they want this club to retain any of its idiosyncratic identity, which differentiates it from the tired, establishment clubs, who've tried so hard to exclude us from their little club.
The risk/reward ratio here just doesn't begin to add up. Whoever sanctioned this has made a mistake that extends well beyond the extra few quid it will generate and the fact they can't or won't appreciate that is concerning to say the least.
Not a good day for the club and its relationship with the fans. Piss poor, in fact.
