you would certainly hope so. being a bit on the old and feeble minded side of life (as well as lazy), any of you clearer minded folk recall roughly how many season tickets were sold the year Dean set them at £100 ? just curious for comparison sake. fully behind this step, and if it all comes together as is being suggested, what we the fans should do is first of course buy as many seasons tickets as we can reasonable afford, and then second, in contrast to the poor Liverpool fans looking at staging a walk out in protest at ticket prices, we should get a happy clappy type fan WALK IN organised to say thank you. Just over 16,000. cheers, thought that was the case, just wanted confirmation to my leaky memory.

Let's not get carried away. No official confirmation as yet. This could be bollocks. If Dean said it last night, it won't be bollocks If the NSL hierarchy are confirming it, it won't be bollocks Amen.

why £179 though, why not £178.63.? ..£179 seems to be a random number ..£7.7826 per game....Why not £184 then it's a straight £8.00 a game ?? just asking .. Cos for

Not an NSL confirmation this time Mids but a few of us were at the ATT a couple of months back where Clibbens announced it. Hoyle clearly said similar last night. Surprised people are still doubting it!

That would be a ridiculous idea!!! Its similar to the ridiculous idea that its more to pay on the day!!! Unless that is extended due to sensational demand, they should put that straight back in the locker, unless it only goes up by say only £20 afterwards to 199. It's not that ridiculous really is it? Read what twang has posted.... When Dean sees the response to 10,000 the board will decide whether to extend the offer The pay on the day will always be more than what a season card works out at per game. Otherwise it defeats the point of a season card. At under a tenner per game on a season card I suspect the pay on the day prices would be about £20. When the idea was first put forward at the ATT Panel and it was to be £200 along with having just 2 tiers for pay on the day which were to be £20 & £30. So if those prove to be the pay on the day prices then at £179 you only have to attend 9 games of the 23 to break even and for £199 then only 10 games to break even and that is for the £20 match day price if you put a couple of £30 match day prices it will obviously be less. It is really now upto fans to encourage other fans, who do not come to games to really look to get a SC now. Of course the next step is to get sufficient SC holders to get into the South Stand, which then gives a strong argument for making that the "Home End" or the revolutionary new era "cowshed" and something that the club will have to address. But all importantly we all now have a responsibility to spread the news, encourage people to invest in DH, the Club and DW and get behind the team to make JSS a fortress for next season, a place other teams will not want to come to and storm the league. Really there is no excuse if this is to be the price for a SC for anyone to moan certainly at the ticket prices. UTT

dependant on what we do between now and may on the pitch and also what we do off the pitch.
still difficult to sell the 'idea of wagner' and the future to the no shows and the never shows..
we are 17th and whatever we as fans say you are still selling that as a fact.The promise is harder to sell.
I hope the cheaper season cards bring in decent extra numbers but that the additions made from now on aligned with the new style and management are the biggest factor for putting more bums on seats..
Its a good start if its true but it still hangs on what Dean really wants to do from now on. I think we all sort of know this.

There's been a lot of discussion on here in the recent past about ticket prices and how the current levels were pricing some folk out of attending.There was also a lot of discussion about the negative brand of football that Powell dished out. In each case it seems that the board have listened to what the fans have been saying and acted accordingly. So for those who regularly jump down the throats of people who dare to question the club's policies, decisions, direction etc, please take note.

Well the now shows and never shows cannot really say that it is down to ticket prices and yes there will be bona fide reasons why some cannot come to games. I just wonder if some of the no shows or never shows would ever come and see town and really are just being negative because they perhaps derive some sexual satisfaction from being negative.

Full credit to the club for this, I suspect Dean is confident he's finally got a manager who can coach our players properly and plays a good style of football where we go after the opposition no matter who they are. If the offer is extended to the start of the season then it even gives the fans who are waiting for signings a chance to decide what to do.
Last time we did the season ticket offer it was criminally fucked up by the club heiracy appointing Stan Ternent and his subsequent joke signings like Keigan Parker and Jim Goodwin.
This could be a massive watershed for the club if we get a few thousand extra fans in and allow Wagner to improve the squad whilst having a full preseason with what we've already got. We could hopefully really push on in terms of where we are going as a club.

It's a great start to getting them back. I can't see us having the south stand too often next season because away attendances will increase due to the good pricing. That's the sacrifice but it's small steps.

If you can get new fans in off the back of cheap season tickets and we have a cracking season under Wagner then they could be hooked for life
Problem when we did the 100 quid tickets was that it was a pretty dire season

Its a huge gamble by the club IMo because if the take up isn't good, the end result will be that we are even further away financially from the bulk of the clubs at this level.
Its very much - 'over to you, the people of Kirklees...are you interested in having a Championship football club in Huddersfield or not?'
There are now no excuses left.

The price suggested is more than reasonable. £7.78 a game!!!! The point is at that price, no one really can use that as an excuse for not going to watch town.

If the team dont win very much and remain in the bottom third then that is the excuse for not watching a football team? Should we get some success, ie; be around the play offs and the admission fees are very reasonable then it might be the right time to ask that question again.. I support town, thick and thin but there are a good number who will attend at the 'thickest' bits, given the right encouragement on and off the pitch.. some on here may not like em all that much but we do need em..

£179 Fantastic, Now for everyone moaning about footy and the transfer fees that Hoyle is pocketing, Just take note that at these prices not only is Dean getting new players in, Signed a fantastic Manager in DW, He is now in theory giving every single fan who buys a season ticket some of that transfer kitty by reducing the price, Please please please if this is true buy a ticket and get down and support, Brilliant Dean WELL DONE Sir. Agreed. So can all those demanding multi million pound signings take a moment to think where the money will be coming from. We cannot have reduced prices and bigger signings.

Its very much - 'over to you, the people of Kirklees...are you interested in having a Championship football club in Huddersfield or not?' There are now no excuses left. captain.. its football the excuses are us being in the lower reaches of the division, the division itself means nothing to some folk.. fact is you cant keep selling, even discounting, a team that isnt challenging for anything, like it or not.. We understand the progress, especially the recent spike in how we approach games but until it produces the results on a regular basis the uninitiated and the yet to be converted will see the results only.. Town will have to as a club offer tangible progress along with the pricing to turn around the slump in attendances because its gone on too long now for any overnight miracle..Whatever anyone thinks or says, additions that cause media attention and excitement are a part of that..we have to 'play the game' to some extent..
