He shouldn't have to react to criticism. It was claimed these prices were all discussed with supporters groups, which is clearly bollocks. Going high and then rowing back to make it look like you've listened doesn't wash with me. If they discussed/listened in the first place they'd have been here or better in the first place.
I don't see why there's such a short time limit (before the start of next season) for renewals.
I don't see why new SC buyers are likely to be asked to pay more.
I don't see why folk should pay more in one stand than another (other than the uncovered crap stand, they should pay supporters to sit in that stand).

I'd love to know how many of the folk that designed that stand have ever sat in it to watch a game in bad weather.
I'd bet it's less than the number of nails I have on one finger.

Originally desined to have no seats below the Upper bit, so it could be used to build stages for concerts/rock bands and the roof didn't need to extend too far. That worked out well didn't it? How many above half a dozen have we held at the stadium in the last 30 years? The Piece Hall in Halifax now holds more in any month (some times in a week) every summer than The McGalphSmiths has held since it was built. Go figure.
