But it's about more than just profit and loss. It's about doing the decent thing for dedicated supporters and, yes, there's a little bit of self-interest in it, as it's good for the image of Stanley.
It strikes me that knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing is rapidly becoming the philosophy of the club.

Are fans just another number on a spreadsheet now? Are we meant to just turn up and be thankful for the privilege? Good luck with that one.
Some fans will come whatever. You could treat them like dirt but they will come back and ask for more because "they just want to watch the team". Those are the kind clubs love but when it all goes wrong some won't notice until the gates are locked.
Personally the prices don't particulary bother me I can afford it if I chose to. The thing is will I and others continue to choose to? There are plenty of other things I can do on a Saturday just like many others and if you can't keep the fans who did care what chance of attracting new fans who don't?
I don't mind change when it's for the better but I usually have to deal with impact assessments for change at work. Presumably this new admin focussed board have done one for these changes and if so why not post it on the official site in the interests of transparency? If it looks good I might even post on the positive things thread.
