Or alternatively:
"Hi, I've been a ST holder for 40 years and have made financial sacrifices to support the club I love and grew up with."
"How can we help you?"
"Times are tough, I'm interested in relocating to one of the cheaper seats you've been advertising"
"Sorry, we're keeping those for people who've not been to a match for 10 years"
"Oh. So what can I do?"
"Carry on paying up or sod off"
Extreme perhaps, but I can see both sides of the argument. We'll have to wait and see won't we? Whatever happens, there'll be winners and losers. But that's life innit?
erm, existing season ticket holders get priority on relocation before any newbies can order one. so if you are a season ticket holder now or next season, you get the chance to relocate to the cheaper seats before non season ticket holders. read the faq on the site.
Or alternately.
"Sorry, we're keeping those seats for City fans who currently don't have and can't get a season ticket because our season tickets have been sold out for x(?) years."
"I appreciate your loyalty Sir."
"However, we feel current season ticket holders as a whole are more than happy with their seats and location within the stadium."
"The opportunity to relocate was afforded to them at the start of the season."
"If any £299 season tickets remain, those will be offered to current season ticket holders like yourself. (who have been ST holders for 40 years and have made financial sacrifices to support the club you love and have grown up with."
"Please put your name down on the relocation waiting list."
"We(the club) appreciate your continued support."
"Can I help you with anything else Sir?"
Of course it doesn't matter, and you and I are just jousting and going through the motions. As others have pointed out, the decision has already been made.
The outcome will be interesting. :-)
