    It's true that those who need assistance always did get a free ticket for a carer.

    I've got a mate who's in a wheelchair and twice at pay on the gate away games I've bumped into him and he's tried to get me in as his second carer, on the basis that he had an old wheelchair that was too heavy for one person. The games were at York and Burnley and he had a quite obvious state of the art wheelchair, it looked good enough for the England Paralympic Basketball team, but fair play to him, he did get me in free for the York game. <laugh>

    fine by me... I was wrong!

    Today I sent an email to the KC, I pointed out an error in the season ticket announcement, it was put right.

    I am sure that once the ticket situation for those supporters that qualify for a discount is pointed out, changes will be made.
    I applaud the club for at least making some effort, the fact is that as far as I can see not many clubs do.
    What I do not agree with is calling the Allams liars. They will not have been involved directly in calculating the prices. Yes they issue the statements, but come on, give them a break.

    Different clubs have different policies. Serving forces personal get discounts on match day tickets at some clubs, but not at others.
    I will be paying more around 20% but that's because I will be in better seats as well.

    The Club can charge what they like,no problem with that, but I have a problem with Club Vice Chairman telling Untruths.
    Bearing in mind whats gone on with Nick Barmby its not right to Lie to the Fans

    My East Stand pass has gone up £45 I believe - £2 extra per game.

    The cost of season passes having been frozen or seen little increase for a few years now have been underpriced IMHO.

    Well I figured if you couldn' t be bothered to get your facts right about our disabled policy, I didn't have to bother getting another club's policy right.

    What I do not agree with is calling the Allams liars. They will not have been involved directly in calculating the prices. Yes they issue the statements, but come on, give them a break.[/QUOTE]

    With the evenys of the last few weeks I hoped the Allams were telling the truth and had no reason to doubt them however E ALLAM stated that prices would not rise by more than 15% that is a clear LIE and not what I expect from the Vice Chairman.
    He is therefore a Liar as the price for a Disabled Fan in the South Stand has risen 108%
    Again its not a problem with the price its a problem with being told by the ALLAMS one thing and then doing something different as in this case

    I just think this thread is beyond debate, I'm even ****ing myself off.

    O/t i was given a scuba diving dry suit today. It looked too small but the bloke said it would be fine. I got it home and thought I would try it on. I got my fat arse in it and put my head through the neck band. **** me it was too small for my neck and I could nt move. I did not know if I should laugh or cry, as I got hotter, the harder it was to get free. half an hour of madness.

    At the moment I am on disability . Yet I have always paid full price .. I get extra money for being disabled so I don't know what the problem is . IF we want the Allams to splash the cash on players what's wrong with us paying a little more into the club ? A couple of quid a games nowt is it

    EA stated the price would be around a 15% increase, so 16% isn't a lie. If you want to be petty, it's not 100% accurate, but it's a very close approximation. When Turner was sold for something like £3m + Paul McShane but we were told it was more, THAT was a lie. Calling somebody a liar because they didn't give you the EXACT increase, to two decimal places isn't really fair. Who are you, Ned Flanders?

    Ps the increase can be clawed back by NOT having to pay a fiver to park , after all many places provide parking spots for blue badge owners BUT still charge for parking .. Those nice Allams don't do that though. They let girlfriend park for free when she takes me to the KC
