£380 at Stockport and £375 at Grimsby
I think £359 is great value for a ST for Championship football.
However, we now have a hardcore base of 7,500-8,000 ST holders which has grown pre-Oyston chaos etc.
As others have said the Club now needs to focus on discounted rates for young adults and a membership scheme to get £5 off a game for those who can’t afford or aren’t going to attend every game. I’ve not paid attention but are we doing that thing where if you get a ST holder to get you a ticket it’s £5 cheaper still?
Many of the 16-25 might not be able to afford a ST or be interested in attending every game but will want to turn out for the bigger games, stick them in the East (North side) as they’ll add to the atmosphere. There’s very few seats left in the North now, for match to match attendees, they’ll want to be amongst it.
Being a ST holder does not make you a better fan than anyone, it just means you think it’s better value, saves the faff of getting tickets and means you have the same seat.
To be fair to the Club, it’s been a mad past 12 months, no fans etc, I get them wanting to maximise income from away fans but at the same time we do need to maximise our home support. It really does make sense to do this.
