What exactly does it mean when the season ticket email states "This year will see the stadium re-configured and will see the South Stand Lower now as a club area." [sic]

look at the online season ticket brochure
http://www.oufc.co.uk/documents/season- ... 494341.pdf

CLUB = south stand lower (except for the family area) and north stand
PREMIER = SSU except for some areas around the directors' box
YELLOWS = East Stand

It's the club's way of trying to justify their ludicrous price increases for STs in the North and South Stand and not the Oxford Mail Stand.

Does that mean we have to shout things about Slumdon rather than grumbling and wishing it was half time so we could eat our Mars bars?

So clubs aren't allowed to increase revenues by changing the shirt colour to appeal to new fans, or to add Tigers on the end of the name.
Nor are they allowed to increase season ticket prices.

How DO they make ends meet?

Spend less on outgoings that they cannot afford?

Thanks, so it's just being renamed then.

By concentrating on attracting rather than alienating their core support base?

How DO they make ends meet?
By not spending on waste of time sports science to underwrite the owners other business interests?
By taking on a sponsor that pays cash, rather than giving free sponsorship to the owners other business interests?
By retaining their best players and so selling more season tickets?
By selling more season tickets at more attractive prices?
By not signing expensive rubbish players?

Presumably you were happy with the Thames Valley Royals idea?
