I wasn't going to complain !
brb
I was aware - but ( for once ) my friend next to me was much more vocal than me when we heard the announcement.
I will give you his reaction verbatim ( you'll be able to guess some of the words ( nothing original )
" What f******* use is that to STHs. I've already got my tickets for those games. They cost me a lot more than five f****** pounds - but Scally's already got my f****** money.
Of course, I share the above sentiments. Whilst I can understand that Mr.Scally is desperate to increase the attendances. The latest deal is a real kick in the teeth ( among many ), for STHs - who had the ' friends for a £5' vouchers removed from this years' books - and - as my friend rightly points out, are probably the last people who will benefit from tickets priced at £5 each (( as opposed to the £16.30 that EACH of my tickets cost me under the season ticket 'deal'. )) -- so under Scally's latest offer it is going to cost me £11.30 MORE for both the games, because I bought and paid for a season ticket - giving him, ( his lawyers, latest estranged wife etc ), my money 2 years in advance ......did I say I wasn't going to complain ?

you'll probably be able to sell them on ebay - latest bid --- 0 penceI know they did this just to wind up ST holders, trying to fiddle us out of a money saving deal.
Well I've got the last laugh! I went into the ticket office after the game and got 4 tickets for £20.
who's laughing now? erm, er, oh!
when we next go to a match together, I'm going to buy you a lot of beer - then you can spend the whole game in the toilet.Shame they are not online, i wanted to choose my seats as well

Just for a laugh, I might ask if they have any GRS tickets, as close to you as possible
Then i'm going to wear the biggest hat ever with a number five on the front of it

Again season ticket holders lose out. Is there really any incentive to get one. But not sure what else Scally can do to get casual supporters to watch. With us getting our lowest attendence yesterday whilst on a good run and moving away from relagation. This really is a good deal so lets see if we can get the extra couple of thousand bodies to make it worth while.
Absolutely, it is a fantastic offer, not really understanding the idea behind it other than the points you have made. Dare i say it...i actually think it is too cheap!
I would be furious if i was still an STHolder. I felt £10 a ticket would have been a decent and reasonable offer, as in the past. Now you get to buy one get one free...sorry that's my humour still laughing.
However, I have never understood the point of an half empty stadium, i just maybe think that promotions need more foresight in their planning, unless Scally is desperate for additional club/player funds, sadly with todays wages and transfer fees it's not going to fill much of a gap.
Anyhow i'm not knocking it, brilliant offer. Thank you Mr Scally
Imagine that...me and grumpygit holding a banner up from the Medway Stand stating 'We got our seats for £5'
Rang the ticket office at 9am today, was politely asked to phone back at 10am when the tics would be on the system. Took several attempts over 5 minutes to get through at 10am, but quite a simple process. I asked where the tickets were allocated, the guy said ANYWHERE you want - ffs alwaysright is not going to be happy was the first thought that entered my head as the guy said it on the phone
ANYWHERE! Sorry i will not say that word again
So i asked for my old stomping ground when i was a STHolder...the days when i used to pay a discounted £16+ for a match day ticket, whereas these days as a non STHolder i get 2 games for £20 (£1 booking fee = £21) and i get another two tickets for FREE.
I think this story might be bouncing around for a while
ANYWHERE Oops

So - the extra £1 is now called a booking fee - not a fee to use a credit card ( which is now outlawed ) ---- looks as if they will get the money out of us one way or another.
