I don't smoke, drink OR drive and find the escalating prices every year worrying. I wouldn't mind small rises of £10 or so, but every year the price of my season card is spiking. I think it was about £560 or £580 in the title-winning season, now it's £705. Does that mean it'll be £840 in a couple of years and close to £1,000 not long after? My dad is a Stretford Ender at the swamp and his ST price, which I think is lower than mine now, has been frozen for 3 years running.
Of course its slightly worrying,
but at the end of the day a season ticket isnt a neccessity, its a luxury and always has been.
The main thing in life is to have a roof over your head and food on the table, if you (not YOU) can't afford a ST then just don't renew. There are seats knocking about for under £500 so perhaps look at relocating?
I've seen people say 'but we have sat next to the same people for 20 years', I understand this point but you can't have it both ways.
You cut your cloth accordingly, if i ever get to the stage where I physically cant afford to go then i won't go. But that won't come until ive literally exhausted all the other things i enjoy doing ie drinking, eating out, clothes etc. And tbh mate id like to think smokers would put smoking in that bracket
