It's open to Under 19s which is good from the club. I went to Bristol City away under 18 for £8 instead of adult £25. It's barcode culture, cannot remember the last time I paid adult for an away day. If clubs are thick enough to not check, cest la vie.
I wonder what the season ticket pricing will be for next season. Signs seem to be that it'll be a price drop, but I wonder to what extent. I believe it's just Big Al on here who has a season ticket now? I know location is a factor for most of us, but will people be more inclined to get a season ticket / watch more games if the prices are considerably cheaper and we have a new manager in place?
Nugg I don’t think we will see a decrease I think they will keep them as they are this season and tell us how lucky we are.
Any thoughts on the new ST pricing? Seems to be pushing as many to commit early given the prices after the early bird deadline rise rather steeply to pretty much the same as last season.. Good tactic from ME to get people to take the risk that we can't continue to be this bad and stump up early for fear of missing out on the 'deal' I've never been able go to enough games to warrant getting one, but if we announce Mick is leaving then I could see a small increase from last year and dropping the early bird price is a pretty simple (and clever) way of tricking fans into having a more positive outlook on the prices.
The pricing is good news on the surface, providing a welcome cost reduction for fans who were always going to renew / most likely to renew. However, as I understand it and as you said Scowey, the reduced price only applies during the early bird period. For supporters waiting on news of McCarthy's future and insistent they won't buy a season ticket until he's gone, you could be cutting it fine. To be fair, Evans has come out and said that McCarthy's future will be decided and announced before the early bird deadline, but I wouldn't be so trusting of anything that comes out of his mouth and we've been burnt before by trusting promises from the owner. The pricing will hopefully tempt back some supporters, but I feel the decision regarding McCarthy's future will play the biggest part in boosting attendances next season. There is also a chance that the early bird period gets extended, like the past few seasons, so the cheaper prices could still apply over most of the summer period.
I think Evans wants to have the new manager signed up before telling Mick he’s not wanted anymore because if all of the names that Evans has come with turn him down or ask for a reasonable transfer kitty then Mick could get stay of execution.
