Surely it could have been in a way that flexi tickets went to around £125 and walk ons were around £17/£18?

I feel that this coming season could've been one where we could attract more walk ons through either discontent Blackburn fans due to ongoing ownership issues or Burnley fans not willing to pay massive increases for Season Tickets in Premier League. Pricing it with gradual increases would've been better IMO.

Season tickets are of course very good but you cant rely solely on them for income, walk ons are still a useful additional income stream and to saddle them with hefty increases is bound to have an impact on matchday income. As alluded to above, the more bums on seats the more spends there will be on programmes, shop etc.

A better start to the season is crucial as well, last season our first 12 games were poor in terms of results. If we start off better there is more chance of a bit of an increase in attendances.
