[St Charles Owl]

I'm going to put it out there now ...

If it means paying £60 odd quid a game at home for a ticket in the prem then I'd rather the prem fuuck off up its own arse and the championship become our top league. No way do I want to pay that much to sit in 12th every season doing **** all. Thats not what football is to me.

But as you point out yourself, this season you are paying 11 quid a game, I assume on a student discount, so I don't think he is going to ask for any season ticket holder to pay 60 quid a ticket.  I think he has done this to improve, or even force, season ticket sales, he wants fans to commit like he has done, albeit at a lower cost.  If you are a fan that goes to 10-15 home games per season, then I think he will make it so its better for you to get a ST and attend every game if you want.  I even wonder if you might see ST prices at least stay the same for a few seasons, maybe even go down in the prem due to the immediate increased revenue streams, but he will ask those who only attend a few games to pay more, not great but supporting your ST holders should be the first priority!!

The value of being a ST holder has gradually been eroded over the years. It used to be a 7.5 match discount, it worked out as three last season compared to pay as you go once special deals were taken into account. Not great when I missed one due to holiday and we had others on TV so could have skipped those if I hadn't paid already.

Yes it has and not just with us, I see other teams saying similar things, but it would seem that our new owner is intent on rectifying that situation.  Out of curiosity, for those who paid the adult rate, what was you ST cost and for which stand??
