Always said no problem with that provided it’s reflected in better support for the manager and amateur clowns like Boddy being removed.
I think it's more that Doug King is looking at getting the clubs price position more in line with the market. Which is fair enough. We're not a L1 club anymore and the new prices should rightly reflect the club's position accordingly.

He’s said the revenue generated goes into the club budget. I think £450 for current holders and £500 for new is reasonable and £30 a game for day purchasers
And if he’s true to his word then that’s ok
We have had this every year, even with SISU not much was actually taken out.
It isn't all going to go directly to Robins as there are other running costs.

I suspect you may be correct on average, but would expect tiered pricing from something likeHe’s said the revenue generated goes into the club budget. I think £450 for current holders and £500 for new is reasonable and £30 a game for day purchasers
No I’m referring to the 3 consecutive transfer windows where Robins was made to work with peanuts. That is why we’re hanging on to a playoff spot instead of being in Luton or Boro’s position.
I think MR had a clear message from the club that last summer;s transfer window was going to be a very difficult one - he has repeated that several timesYes and then the next one won't be enough, then the next one
The difference this year is probably going to be the big payday from Gyokeres so King's test will be where / how it's reinvested into the club. I wouldn't be surprised if the work at Ryton is being done based on that. Whacking it into club infrastructure isn't a bad thing at all though.
I don't think rules allow you to. Something about equivalent seats being available at the same cost as home fans. Also we then get screwed away. Reading tried a 'twenty is plenty' for away fans and then price matched other teams so eg we paid at Reading what they paid at the CBS. That would be better if there was a structure, eg £25 everywhere in the Championship and then it's a level playing field (barring capacities of course, but generally better supported teams end up with higher revenue anyhow).£30 is way too much on Matchday imo, it would put off a large number of walk up.
Price it sensibly, £24 is about right but certainly not higher.
Hike the away support though, if they want to come they'll come.
Look after our own.
Assuming we don't hit "The promised land".
Correct they can not charge more than home fansI don't think rules allow you to. Something about equivalent seats being available at the same cost as home fans. Also we then get screwed away.

The person checking mine let me in despite it being my wife's season ticketAdult tickets might be a bit cheaper if there wasn't so many people trying to get in on kids tickets. Not only that when they're caught out they abuse staff. Even the response to the tweet are full of people saying they're not going to pay the adult price
'Can I use your season ticket today Woolly?'Can you buy more than one season ticket in your own name? If I bought another in another’s name and they could only go occasionally could others come with me on that ticket (male or female adult ticket)? Do they have a different rule for companies that buy seats for corporate days out? Would I be any different to a company if I’m hosting different guests?
I think technically only you can use your season ticket but in practice I don't think there's ever been an objection to using someone else's ticket if you're in the same price categoryCan you buy more than one season ticket in your own name?

How can anyone think this is acceptable? Literally stealing from the club. People saying they had their tickets checked five times? Really? Mine was checked once.Adult tickets might be a bit cheaper if there wasn't so many people trying to get in on kids tickets. Not only that when they're caught out they abuse staff.

Agree with that. Also been the odd time dad can't make it and my wife has used it when we should've upgraded tbf, but if she had to pay more she probably wouldn't bother. When she does I can have a pint although on those occasions I've used the oap ticket as I look older and she uses mine. Using free kids ones is diff again though as they're free and a bit of a pisstake tbh, at lest dad's is about 75% costAdults paying kids prices for ST's and Match tickets needs stamping out of course
Telling me i cant give mine and the kids season tickets to friends or family when we cant make midweek games due to school is a bit of a joke though
Do they want 3 empty seats? Or do they want 3 people vocally backing the lads, purchasing food and drink, a programme, something from the club shop, and maybe enjoying it that much that they go and purchase tickets for games going forward?
Pretty sure everyone on here has gave their ST away while they're on holiday, i have, yet it seems the clubs moaning about that aswell
Suggests to me we dont get the pie money in this licence agreement, otherwise they wouldn't give 2 hoots if people were getting in for a few quid less

I think it’s fair to ask adults not to use kids ticketsI hope not Pete as I've always done it as im sure have lots.
Yes it may be that once or twice a season im allowing adult family members to use the kids ST's if its a school night or we're away, but i dont feel like im doing the club over?
Yes the adults may be using a concession ST fir that game, but they always buy a beer or 2 and some food, always get a programme and on occasion have picked something little up for the kids from the club shop. I just feel thats surely better then 3 empty seats
Appreciate its hard to decipher genuine occasions like that though from people taking the piss regularly.
Balancing act i suppose
I think it’s fair to ask adults not to use kids tickets
Even the occasional ST passed to them for a game or 2 a season?
I think if they crack down on that then if we have Plymouth at home on a pissing down December night the attendances will take a massive pasting
Aren't the kids tickets like £1 a game?
Aren't the kids tickets like £1 a game?
Depends on the age bracket
My daughters is yes, my sons is more.
Can see the kids prices receiving a huge hike
