That uneasy feeling

Post by DLT »

After resolving that now was the time to support the club (after a year of 19.50 hits) I went up to get my season ticket today.

I have to confess that I hadn't really looked to see the price (I knew they were the same as last year but I didn't get one then).

So up I walk and ask for a season ticket in SSU, choose my seat and then pull out the credit card.

'£319 please!'

F U C K. That sounds an awful lot of money to watch non league football.

On the drive home I began to seriously reconsider how many of those 'returning now he's gone' fans will pull £320 out their pocket for a season ticket?

After the experience of parting with the money I reckon the 'rush' for new tickets will end up being about the same number as last year.

A price of £299 (is that a cut of 7%) would have sounded so much cheaper. And I reckon that the cut would have persuaded some of the waiverers from jacking in their tickets and maybe encouraged more to get one this season.

or perhaps they'll decide to slum it in the east stand for £235.

that doesn't sound like so much - just over a tenner a game.
