    Is it easier to change the name if it becomes an all members club?

    I fully understand

    N4 z113 for me.

    This is the problem. Stay where you are and your "group" pays £367 more next season, move to N5 and you pay £119 less as a group. But this only works if you move.

    If you are any sort of benefit, you cannot do this type of deal. even if you move seats the transfer of £42 per month into your account may affect your benefits even if it goes straight out.

    I admire your stance

    No. He has the same problem, the FA have to agree it. He may have more trouble with the other chairman once they know he's going to charge their supporters' kids adult prices.

    Which is probably what the Allams think would happen.

    This is what they dont understand.
    Not everyone has a blind loyalty to a club that likes to constantly punch them in the teeth. People will find other things to do and wont be easily tempted back.
    Im not sure that the Allams actually give a **** anyway

    termination starts when you stop paying - do you think they'll take you to court for 2 months subscription - ie £42 - so don't ever think you have to give 2 months notice because you dont

    I just read what it said above - two full calendar months prior written notice but if you stop paying straight away how are they going to get the two months payment from you - as I said, termination starts when you stop paying

    If you pay 12 months membership you have paid for a full season's league games. If you pay 6 months membership before terminating, ie to December do you get to see half a season's matches. So if you have terminated your membership can you watch the matches you've already paid for?

    Those cfans that take up this offer are likely to find a stadium that has between 8000 and 10000 people in it. The Allams will then after put up prices again for those fans that go along with this scheme or transfer players to cover losses.

    And rather than waiting until the end of the season, the scheme allows the option of upping the price at any time with 90 days notice.

    I'm not sure what league rules allow though.

    No, there will come a point when they need bums on seats and they find excuses to get lots of tickets out there, either free or very cheap. The whole principle will become confused and lost in social media, folk will do what seems right for them and the quality of our club will continue to fall. Many, many folk will just stop going as other things become more worthy and more important, simply taking up offers or special games like a trip to our sponsor. To alter this will take a massive change at the club in every way possible.

    Two years ago I realised it was easier to attend the odd away game, when I did so against the name-change. I have then attended midweek as work coincides, a few home and away - this is good, freeing up big chunks of the weekend. But now, the grandsons are 5&8, so I look at all of the ****e involved in supporting the club and how my time can be better spent with them. Even following the club on internet is unreliable, so I often just give up and walk the dog, listening to TalkSport. I have a minimum of a 4hr round journey to a home match, but I think there are plenty out there with more like 40mins round journey who are starting to feel the same.

    My time attending City games is done, unless they are on Tyne, Wear or Teesside; time is far more precious than a few bob, so are the bairns - for others it is a different balance. It really should not be as unpleasant as it is to do something you class as quality leisure time.
    Besides that, the football is bloody awful.

    Just curious to those saying that people will become disenfranchised and it will be hard to win them back.

    If we don't go up. If the Allam's finally decide to sell up halfway through next season as a mid-table side looking like going nowhere with Bruce still in charge.

    If we get new owners, who sacked Bruce, brought in a young manager who overhauled the squad in January with cheap signings who revitalised the squad, the owners drastically reduced prices, and we had a renaissance of sorts. Would people start coming back?

    Maybe it's just me, but I could never find myself actively staying away from a sporting club that I adore, especially if everything that had pushed me away was removed.

    It isn't just those factors that make the over all decision though. They're just part of a bigger issue relating to the match day experience.

    Events on the field are not a major part for some of us.

    What are people moaning about, almost everyone stands to save money. What's wrong with it.

    If personal money is the major factor in your decision making, nothing I guess. Especially as the lower price will probably reflect a lesser experience.

    My post related to off-field factors as well.

    If football became affordable again at some point next season (assuming one way or another the Allams will want out at some point), and the club was reinvigorated with an enthusiastic group of Football League players, would people be willing to come back? I just struggle to reconcile the notion that people would still away, when they've previously insisted that owners will come and go but they'll be the one constant.
