Exile, I think you are missing a couple of points made in other posts. My particular beef is that our new MD removed the adult disability concession without any warning or consultation with any supporter affected, he has had someone do a sweep of what other clubs are doing and had it checked with various bodies that he was legal which he is. Although the price is not the real issue it is his high handed manner, so we go to the match and are now told that money will not be taken at the turnstiles any more for safety reasons yet you can buy your ticket from a booth. what is the safety point then. Add to that the sudden departure of a long serving employee like Rob Heys as he seems to know more about running the club than the current MD. so I smell a rat. I do know of other issues other fans have with this MD but that is up to them to make it public again if they wish. I as a long time fan of the club remember the time we looked after the sick, disabled, and unemployed. they all got a reduced price. Now at last nights game I saw what the MD meant as the 10.000 or s supporters were clambering to get in.
I am afraid Andy Holt has in my opinion made a bad appointment. It is a tragedy that a club on the cusp of football history has a man like this in charge. Just for the record ask what we offer injured ex servicemen and women in the way of concessions on the club website err nothing. so we are no longer a community club we are an exclusive club. The prices you mention are good but the way this man is handling the fans and staff is disastrous. If you challenge him he simply say's you are being negative. I am afraid if he is there next season then I won't be coming but that is my choice. The man is deluded that we are a premiership club, He obviously reads other clubs websites and pinches ideas and soundbites. No substance.
