    Charging your own fans for parking when renewing or applying for new season tickets ...is asking for trouble!

    Not great moment if you expecting fans to fork out £400 - £520

    I wonder if they went shopping last weekend into town. And if they did, I wonder if they parked in the multi-storey/pay-&-display. In which case, when they got back to their car (after maybe spending a few pennies in the shops), did they expect to leave that car-park for free too?

    I'm probably going to get some stick for this but I think the club has a right to charge for parking. If you don't agree with it, park somewhere else. There are parking notices everywhere to say what the charges are and how long you can park for free. There are plenty of places around the stadium where they could have parked, just didn't want to walk I expect.

    I have little sympathy for them (apart from the increase in the Dad's season ticket cost). And giving back your ST because of an extra £1?! Thanks cutting your nose off to spite your face.

    Sign of the times - if you want to drop off at Belfast Airport now you have to pay £1 to get out, and its not even close to Departures!

    Call themselves Saints fans? I couldn't bring myself to allow MY team to be dragged through the gutter press, now matter how strong I felt about it.

    A polite but firm letter to Mr Cortese would have probably sufficed, and he may welll have stuck a pound coin to an envelope and sent it back.... funnier things have happened.

    Agreed. If you had a true grievance, you'd deal with it differently if you were a true fan of the club.
