A sad, but inevitable move IMO.

But let's face it, we didn't get hundreds of new walk-ons when we were offering tickets at £10 or £15. And when we did, the most common comment from the walk-ons near me were grumblings about the facilities.

The financial security of the Club has to be paramount, so this was an inevitable decision. However, it has to be coupled with an improvement in the basic facilities for those that do pay the money, else we will be talking about losing season-ticker holders in the future, not just walk-ons.

This will be our 9th season in League Two, so having non-league facilities because we rose up the non-league pyramid so fast is no longer valid.
