Re: S t 1000

Maybe a few more season tickets would have be sold at the April early price of £200 if it was know all league games would be £20?

The price rises are likely to reduce the crowd but away fans may be less price sensitive if a £92 day out costs £95 or £97, but the jump for an average match of £5 for Stanley fans (including fans of other clubs who watch Stanley as a second club or just for something to do) may drive them into one of the many pubs in the town that tend to show every match in the world including 3pm Saturday kick-offs.

As the support is relatively inelastic it makes sense to increase prices and increase revenue, but it doesn't help growing the fan base which is needed for the club to stand on its own feet in the long term.

Having water in the toilets and not locking the turnstiles early may help with attendances.
