Proper Season tickets don't always suit people who can't make all the games for various reasons and as such would not be value for money.
I can't believe you are trying to compare it with the Premier League as there is a reason why they can restrict prices or rather there are tens of millions of reasons - TV money. Fans are an optional extra it seems in the Premier League.
Just because other club haven't done the same thing doesn't mean we can't. Perhaps it's because they don't have the lowest crowds in the league?

I dont think it the 20 quid price that other clubs fans moan about [ dont forget to be able to stand on an open terrace is something thats getting very rare now and for some younger fans in will be a first time experience ]
What really does **** them off though are the pretty atrocious facilities in terms of food [ standard choice and cost ] and toilets.
If whats been built at the Clayton End was replicated i.m pretty sure it would actually lead to an increase in visiting fans as in every other area a visit to Accrington is seen as a pretty good experience.
But if the New Stand isnt going to be started in the summer it might be a good idea to let the away fans have the end block in the main stand again as the seats on the far side really is somthing that puts off visitors who do for whatever reason want to sit.
