Looks like no concessions and the West Upper closed completely...

    That's all very nice but at the end of the day a 16 year old or a pensioner cannot buy a ticket at a lower price. The end.

    The club really don't get it do they. Or maybe they do & are simply adding to their ****ishness. ****s, the pair of them.

    Not good at maths but if 31% of members = 4009 does that mean the total number of members is 12,932?

    Yes, though that's this season, the 'family guarantee' (which saw prices reduced to last seasons level for those with multiple children or seniors) was scrapped, as several people pointed out to Burnsy after he read out the club statement (many said they weren't renewing as a consequence).

    #hcafc won't offer concessions to primary school children but will happily let them write their club statements.

    "..offer concession pricing in the form of a priority booking window for zone 1 and 2 ... we effectively offer concession prices to adults also"? So, fundamentally they don't really get the definition of "concession" pricing.

    The rest of it is just a load of illogical "yeah buts" familar to anyone trying to negotiate with a hormonal teenager. If I'd produced a document like that in my professional capacity, I'd be fired out of a big gun...

    Yet you and others want a safe standing stand. So it's stand or don't see the game and probably not even then if you're a little kid.
    Make north and east the singing/raucous stands. South and west upper the family stand. Oaps in west upper or they can sit anywhere but pay adult rate.
    Oaps nowadays have more or as much disposable income as young people or dads with kids.

    I said a long time ago on here that OAPs often have more disposable income had young people or families with kids and mortgages but got shot down for it. Don't recall you defending my point of view then. Of course not agreeing with me is a reflex action on your part but at least you are catching up.

    Unsteady OAPS or boisterous young kids in the West Upper? Is that the awestruck Upper so steep and high (try not to laugh) that it can't be used for away fans as they might stand up, somehow surge down over the seats and topple over killing themselves and those below?

    North and East the raucous areas? Presumably the raucous whilst remaining sedentary areas as you might block the view of someone frail or young if standing.

    Make the South the area for fans who wish to be raucous. Police happy as at other end from away fans. Everywhere else have kids charged sensible prices and OAPS likewise and everyone who wants to sit down will have most of the ground to do it in. Grandads as well as dad's could sit anywhere with their kids then. Won't happen of course.

    If there is a safe standing area those unable to stand or little kids wouldn't go there. They would sit down, as is their choice. A choice apparently you would deny a small section of the support. The majority of the ground would remain seated. Seems to work at Borussia Dortmund with 2,000 more stood up behind one goal than the KC holds.

    Standing and concessions are not mutually exclusive.

    What the ****?

    Who the **** do they think they are talking to? Are they hoping everyone at the FA are operating with double digit IQ's? Do they think that fans reading this now realise that they were all wrong and it was actually us who don't know what a concession is? Are we really so far beneath them that they can legitimately show this contempt? Do they believe that comparing their prices to any other club in the country helps garner support, as if people choose which club to support based purely on economics? Who decided that this **** was fit for public consumption? What the **** are they thinking?

    More and more they focus on trying to argue with fans and show us to be wrong in our beliefs. Like you say, it's hard to tell who they think will read this and really be convinced by it. Presumably it's Ehab frantically smashing away at his keyboard.
