Why didn't the North Stand loyal go in the north stand today? Probably because most of it's closed due to a massive advertising hoarding that brings in millions we can spend on a top striker... I know you're being facetious. But. Has having an advertising hoarding that covers 2 blocks of a stand, where people have sat for years "had an affect on the match day experience of the supporters who have regularly sat there" |

I just can't get over having to pay £15 for a five year old kid to watch town. Doesn't sit right with me that.

[br Haven't took my lad yet he's almost four but when I do I hope the the pricing has been sorted because it is wrong. I want to be able to get him into town like I did but at fifteen notes its just too much. Can't go regular due to work so season cards etc out of question, but fifteen quid for young kids? Can't see the reasoning behind it especially when half the stadium is always empty. All it will do is lose future fans. |

Schools day in FM upper they will be more bothers wiith this than with the fans that turn up every week and most of them are seasone ticket holders talk abou been taken for granted this club sure knows how to shoot itself in the foot this flag issue so late on is a absolute joke sort it town before you lose even more loyal fans What about the loyal fans that have paid that little bit more, some for twenty years to sit in a quieter stand? Do you not think the club are wary of not upsetting them? Why not go back to the FML where you know flags are allowed? Very unapathetic of you. |

There are about 100 tickets left for the Leeds game in the end 2 blocks in the RWL. We are worth more to the club than that. |

Reverts to under 18 price which is £13 plus the £2 matchday price increase. I managed to get the question posed to Nigel Clibbens to explain why there was no under 8 price on matchdays, at a recent meeting with the HTSA. The answer was, that we've always done it like that. |

Lift them over their children I must admit I was shocked when I read you paid £15 for a child to get in so I checked the towns website under the Derby tickets section, sorry I've no idea how to link it on my fone. |

It's just one fuck up after another isn't it. Yep. The fans of the future? They are losing their parents let alone the bloody kids. Said before, think it was the Blackburn game, my 6yo went from £5 the day before to £10.50 at midnight on the 'day' of the game. Absolute disgrace and it should be explained by NC or DH. Not just batted off as it's always been that way. As they lose season card holders things like this come to the fore. Hardly a way to get folk back and get kids interested. Seems a mentality of buy a season card or fuck off. |

By the way, the separate turnstile for kids is ridiculous. My lad has gone into games and had to wait for 4 or 5 minutes or more for me to get in when there are much longer queues for the adult season card holder turnstile.
Given that he's just 5 years old, there's a serious safety issue there.

Given that he's just 5 years old, there's a serious safety issue there. I raised this with the club every year from 2003 to 2008 when I had the same concern. It wasn't really the "stranger" aspect that worried me, as a little kid is going to be pretty safe in amongst the Town family even if there are a handful of weirdos about, but the REAL worry in that if you enter at South end of Kilner, a little kid could easily wander to the big flight of downhill concrete stairs whilst you're queueing to get in. To be honest, I'm surprised it's even allowed. I know its pre Dean era, but pretty much everyone else (other than Clibbens) at executive level that I directed this issue at is the same now as they were then. Perhaps that's part of the problem? |

What is the reason for separate turnstiles for kids? "That's how its always been" ?! I think it's to do with the manual counting of different category entries and speedier reconciliation of turnstile cash. |

What is the reason for separate turnstiles for kids? I don't know to be honest pipes. What I do know is that the safety team are generally overcautious when it comes to the welfare of people utilising the stadium (which is understandable), but this does seem an odd practice. You do have to lose sight of your bairns while you queue up and they are already inside the ground. Does concern me and it'l concern others. |

By the way, one of the reasons given by NC as to why there is no under 8 price category on match days is that it slows entry down as ages have to be verified. But clearly the under 18 queue is moving much faster than the adult turnstile anyway.
Generally there is no queue at all for the concession turnstile.

How about justifying the point with proper reasoning. Instead of following the rest of the clubs like a flock of sheep why don't we try something different and lead by example like our club claims it does |
