Maybe Kev needs to do a Hoyle and make them £100 and promise to get us to the premier league again. If feels like we need a massive reset here and even maintaining the current cost will see us lose a bunch of support and you can't blame people. Only way we fill the stadium is to do something drastic. Then he can get the manager / playing staff sorted and build some momentum. It's amazing what winning a few games can do to the place. If you have to go down to do this then I don't see that as a bad thing. The place is rotten so we need drastic action...root and branch if you will. It’s fine making them £100 (and fwiw I think they should) but they still need to actually entice fans to the stadium. Hearts and minds won’t cut it. They need to bring in the best in class from the top, down. It needs more than a couple of good signings, more than a free pint per game, more than kids for a quid, more than anything they think will work. When fans invest in buying a season ticket, as you well know, it’s not just money you use to invest, it’s the TIME you give. We’ve seen 70 year olds come on here saying that’s them done. They’re choosing to watch reruns of bargain hunt in their warden controlled flats over coming to town and watching bargain bin football. I can’t wait for my 10% discount in the club shop next weekend though.

Get the fans back on board with big numbers for next season and regardless of which division we are in be it Championship or League 1 get the fans used to watching attacking free flowing football to go with more wins and entertainment and at £100 the club can’t lose.

Are we one of the last clubs to announce our prices? I know someone mentioned it was mid April last season, but this just feels like another topic where the club are struggling to read the room If, as some have said, AB was Nagles choice and went against the recommendations, this is another one where he needs to step in and realise that the only hope of a decent number of renewals, particularly if we end up in L1, is to freeze the prices again. It feels like we have a naive senior management team from where I’m stood. Think its pretty obvious they're waiting to what division we're in, although unless somehitng drastic happens we have a good idea.

Think its pretty obvious they're waiting to what division we're in, although unless somehitng drastic happens we have agood idea. Numbers will be well down with or without a price rise. I'm expecting just a small increase due to relegation. They'll still be comparatively cheap compared to the rest of league one although I'm sure there'll be loads complaining still. It's not so much the price for me, just the frustration in watching them make stupid decision after stupid decision with the inevitable outcome. Chucking away all the past work getting to the championship and beyond and staying there. The sooner Nagle puts some experienced professionals in charge the better. I'll probably wait and see, no appetite for L1 and no faith in the management team. If we're competing at the top I may start to attend a few games. It's a massive IF though, Kevin now has a far bigger job on his hands than last closed season. I'm feeling very bitter about the self inflicted nature of relegation and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

At least they will have a right to winge they will be buying a ST . Comedy post complaining of others but you’re not buying one yourself. This forum is full of folk wanting managers sacked players replaced , price rises on ST they aren’t even buying it’s seriously entertaining.

Sole reason i get one is cos i've done it for years and years bottom tier to the prem, very rare i miss an home game so its a no brainer, i'll only stop going when i dont like going anymore.

Season ticket sales will be a leap of faith.
Do supports believe it’s going to be a good place to be next season.
If i were Kevin i’d make some kind of announcement. An apology and acknowledgement that he and his team have fucked this season and made big mistakes. Then more importantly a promise to do everything in his power to put it right. A rallying call.

A guy I sit next to at the home games has been attending Town matches since 1959-60 but even he is fed up now and mainly due to the self inflicted wounds of this season. He comes with his wife loyally each week but reckons that if they put up the cost of car parking he will stop attending. He is disabled so needs to use the car. Another guy a couple of rows across is also in the same boat he thinks an extra charge allied to increased ticket sales will finally see him not bothering. This is on top of my next door neighbour who stopped attending last season even though we avoided relegation. To be fair he is in his late 70s and has mobility issues which could explain it, although from what he says it appears that he saw the light with what happened last season and was not confident of anything this season.

If tickets are 500 quid or 70p people will renew if they want to, main bad selling point is most of the current squad is under contract!!, think I would opt for the 70p òption, what's that in dollars?! About 86 cents.

I think we’ll hit 5 figures if they price them sensibly.
Whole new ball game in L1 though.
We’ll soon find out in a week or so.
Chin up Town fans, we’ve been here before, we’ll dust ourselves off and go again…

If I was Nagle I’d put an amazing offer on for next season after what’s happened this season. Pretty sure ffp is a lot more lenient in leagues one and two as well (correct me if I’m wrong) so no reason to be charging a fortune.
Needs to get the squad right and the stadium packed for us to change direction next year.

Been a season ticket holder for 40+ years. Used to love waking up on a Saturday morning knowing I was going to watch Town. Unfortunately going to games in the last two seasons have been a chore. Just don't enjoy going anymore. Doubt I'll bother next season. Maybe pay on the gate a couple of times if can't find anything better to do
