Jase,
I agree.
Similar to Bradford and Huddersfield who had minimum season ticket sales to get the price down to £100.

Im sorry, but the club needs to wake up to reality.
£17 for league 2 or £20 to walk into rovers and watch category B and C premiership games.
To 99% of people, local club or not, there is no comparison.

Until admission is a standard £10 and people on the street know its £10 and always £10, then you wil not encourage floaters.
Its fine to bump it up to £20 when Fulham come to town, but league 2 football for more than £10 is expensive.

I cant help but suspect the price hike is to benefit from away fans, although they are forgetting the nostalgia of coming to Accrington Stanley for most of the teams in the league has now worn out. I expect away attendances to drop of next year.
