    To what end, given they're here?

    The current pricing structure possibly contravenes Premier League's policies anyway.

    The post from Rich6 just says he's had an email confirming that he can be involved in the supports group, we've all had one of then, he's 300 people on it!

    Though Andy and Les were instrumental in setting up CTWD, the AN lads are not actually directly involved in CTWD now and James' response needs to be to us.

    CTWD are organising Europa league dos? Would they be travel/accommodation packages with free beer tokens at local bars?

    Season ticket prices are not going to change, but disabled prices might. The story put out that the disabled price increase put us in line with other Premier League clubs was complete bollocks, our ticket pricing for the most disadvantaged is now one of the worst in the league. It's unnecessary and reflects badly on the club and we'd like it addressed.

    We will more generally push for dynamic ticket pricing, based on a larger capacity stadium, though this is just a model we will propose, it's obviously not going to be adopted by the current regime.

    We'll be canvassing members to see how much interest there is, you'll have to buy your own beer tight-arse.

    It's not just the disabled prices.

    The original plan was for us to be in the South. Fans made it known they didn't want that and preferred the East, so Adam Pearson changed it.

    The Prem laws state that behind the goal is an inferior view.

    Disabled fans.

    Some on disability get more money then people in low paid jobs .

    And more then supporters on unemployment benefits.

    Will low wage earners and the unemployed get cheap passes ?

    The disabled prices are the only ones we've got any realistic chance of getting any movement on in the short term.

    Perhaps, I guess it depends on what you're calling short term. The timescales have certainly reduced now from when they were announced even if the laws are the same.

    Fans chose to move back to the east stand there too. Prem et al say behind the goal is a lesser view.

    Some might, but many don't.

    We have a member with a child that needs permanent supervision, her mum gets some financial help as her carer, but it's not a lot if money and her daughters pass just went from £150 to £500, she simply can't afford to take her now. The numbers involved are not signification, but the problems it's causing those involved is very significant, it was a bad move and should be reversed.

    Well I was one of those that moved from bunkers to the kempton and the reason at the time was the low roof and the noise level being far better in the kempton

    No one moved because of the view.

    The only moving use to be from bunkers to the north stand in the second half so we could be behind the goal we was attacking

    Has a hardship fund been considered, as it's not just the disabled that struggle to meet the price change. Quite a few parents buy several kids passes and suffer similar increases?

    That would leave more time to deal with issues that affect a lot of fans and the atmosphere.

    EDIT

    Out of curiosity, how were these priorities decided? The east stand move seems to have drawn no comment at all from the (single issue) group, yet it affects a large number of fans.

    Agree with that lammy man

    I guess it effects people on disability different

    In that lady's case she SHOULD be allowed in for FREE and so should her child.

    Some I know moved for the view. The Prem laws say it's a lesser view. You like it, but I'd suggest you're in a minority.
