I’m of the opinion that they needed to go up this much, the last owner really screwed the business over with stupid pricing

I can live with the increase if it helps to cover running costs without recourse to begging bowl initiatives such as the one for the pitch renovations.

Don’t mind an increase but trying to sell it as small adjustment isn’t right.
And certainly object to the under 18s going up 20% not many under 18s earn anything so that adds to mum dad or grandads in my case outgoings.
Whatever happened to a rise inline with inflation or set percentage every year.
Obviously affecting others, on tuther side a couple of females saying they’ll need the finance option this year.

Check out Kieran Maguire pages regarding balance sheets. They are sobering to say the least.
Revenue has to raised to be able to make recruitment a little easier. Gain promotion to the EFL this season and the club will get a cash boost. But up to then whatever it takes – sponsoring a bit of the pitch I cannot see an issue if some want to do it and for those who don’t then they have their choice.
As yet no Euro Lottery Jackpot winner has knocked on the door so until then we do whatever it takes.

Agreed. Season Tickets have been joke pricing (in fans’ favour) for the last few years.
Hard to make fair comparisons when our position has changed, but my season ticket for 2015-6 in the West Stand cost £360. I think it cost the same for a few seasons before that too but can’t find evidence of that.
Even allowing for the fact that we’ll be two divisions (hopefully one) below the division we were in then, the fact that an increase that some folk are complaining about doesn’t take us back to the prices of 11(+?) seasons ago suggests that the point above is correct.
For comparison, a mate’s renewal price for Rotherham in a similar seat in League One (as we were in 2015-16) cost him £485 this year (£535 for new ticket holders). However, his ticket next year will be cheaper than mine as they still operate senior tickets at 60+, which seems generous nowadays.

Like you say apple and pears comparisons, nigh on £5 million wage bill back then.
But I’ll just take it back to Op a small adjustment is not 17% and that being the least increase, honesty and transparency is not to much to ask.1 user thanked author for this post.
