That uneasy feeling
Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 7:19 pm
After resolving that now was the time to support the club (after a year of 19.50 hits) I went up to get my season ticket today.
I have to confess that I hadn't really looked to see the price (I knew they were the same as last year but I didn't get one then).
So up I walk and ask for a season ticket in SSU, choose my seat and then pull out the credit card.
'£319 please!'
F U C K. That sounds an awful lot of money to watch non league football.
On the drive home I began to seriously reconsider how many of those 'returning now he's gone' fans will pull £320 out their pocket for a season ticket?
After the experience of parting with the money I reckon the 'rush' for new tickets will end up being about the same number as last year.
A price of £299 (is that a cut of 7%) would have sounded so much cheaper. And I reckon that the cut would have persuaded some of the waiverers from jacking in their tickets and maybe encouraged more to get one this season.
