    Interesting

    that season tickets are below average, but single game tickets are above average. That suggests that there is too big a premium for individual tickets, this must deter the occasional punter.

    Be interesting

    to see how many have taken it on the chin and reduced admission to help their fans and how many have reduced it but ramped up background costs like shirts, programmes food & drink etc. OK they at least are not essential but to many its part of the experience

    Season tickets are fantastic value pay on the day tickets are absolutely ******* extortionate. I reckon you and the kids you would be talking about 50 quid plus just to get in. The balance feels wrong to me.
