"People" don't, only you and a few of your bumchums on here. Who I don't really regard as proper people. I have to go now, so perhaps we can continue this exchange of abuse on Saturday? If you are not busy then.
Well this thread was certainly prophetic. Madness abounds. Tygertyger musta been sniffing glue I reckon.
Why not take a few moments to read what the Premier League and its clubs think about the vital importance of attracting younger people to the game. AND THEN REALISE WHAT A COMPLETE MESS YOUR NEW SCHEME IS AND HOW COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH YOU ARE WITH THE REALITIES OF RUNNING A FOOTBALL CLUB. AFC Bournemouth: Members of the Junior Cherries membership scheme (cost £7.50 pa) who are under the age of eight can attend any Barclays Premier League match for free (with a paying adult). Arsenal: Fans aged 12-16 can buy 1,000 tickets at each of 14 Barclays Premier League fixtures at £10 per match. Aston Villa: Season tickets for under-8s start at £85, less than £4.50 per match. Chelsea: The club offer a combined adult and junior season ticket for £880, the equivalent of £23.15 per person per match, while the junior concession, which offers match tickets from £15.50, has been extended to include Under-20s after consultation with fans. Crystal Palace: Junior season tickets are available from £95 in the Family Stand, or £5 per match. Everton: Young Evertonians account for almost a quarter of the overall season ticket sales at Goodison Park with 4,500 fans under-16 paying between £5 and £10.50 per match. Deals are extended to 16-20-year-olds who pay on average £19 per match. Leicester City: Under-10s can attend matches at King Power Stadium for free in the Family Stand when accompanied by an adult. Of Leicester’s season tickets, almost a quarter (23%) are held by under-18s, with an average of less than £5.50 being paid per match. Liverpool:The price for junior season tickets at Anfield have been reduced by 10% to a flat rate of £180, less than £10 a match. Matchday tickets are on sale for juniors from £5. Manchester City: Under-16s can watch each match for £5 on average through the £95 seasoncard. Manchester United: At Old Trafford season tickets for under-16s work out at £10 per match, while there are discounts for older fans (50% off for 16-17-year-olds and 25% off for 18-20-year-olds). Newcastle United: 4,000 people under 18 pay up to £100 for season tickets, while several matches have single junior matchday tickets at a similar £5 price. St James’ Park boasts the largest family area in a football ground in Europe, seating about 8,200, where adults can buy a season ticket with a child for a combined £417, or £10.97 per person per match. Norwich City: Under-12s at Carrow Road pay less than £3.70 per match for a season ticket, while Under-17s pay less than £5. More than a quarter of the 27,000 capacity at Carrow Road is allocated to a family stand. Southampton: Season tickets for under-11s cost £50, about £2.65 a match. Stoke City: The under 11s’ season ticket costs £38, or £2 per match, while an under-14 season ticket is available for £75 (£3.95 per match) and an under-17 for £169 (£8.90 per match). Young fans who join the club’s City 7s membership scheme (£10 per annum) get a free match ticket at the Britannia Stadium for themselves and an adult as well as a free home replica kit. Sunderland: A normal Under-16 season ticket at the Stadium of Light costs £69 (£3.63 per match), while it is just £25 in the family zone. Swansea City: Season tickets for Under-16s start at £69. The club have sent two free tickets to junior non-season ticket holders whose birthdays coincide with the fixture. Tottenham Hotspur: Junior season ticket prices start at £14 a match at White Hart Lane, while matchday tickets start at £17. Watford: Nearly one-fifth of the season ticket holders at Vicarage Road are under-16, with half of them paying up to £35 for a season ticket. Children aged seven or under in the Family Stand pay £10 for a season ticket. West Bromwich Albion: More than half of junior season tickets (61%) pay £99 for their seats at The Hawthorns, or just over £5 per match. West Ham United: A season ticket for under-10s costs £110 (less than £5.80 per match) while 50% discounts are extended to under-21s, who pay from £320 (£16.85 per match). For six matches last season, West Ham offered entry to kids for £1 (both home and away)
So in a nutshell dont matter if you have supported City since late 60,s if you cant afford to still go and bring your kids then shut up and leave the building. Cos im exceedingly richer than thou,,,,,
READ WHAT GOES ON AT OTHER CLUBS AND THEIR ATTITUDES... Children under the age of 11 can pay £2 a match for a season ticket at Stoke, while it rises to £8.90 for under-17s. It is representative of a policy at the heart of the club's commitment to young fans. "Importantly, 25% of the crowd are under the age of 21, delivering the support base of the future,” Scholes says. Such offers for the young fans is why Everton are able to boast that almost a quarter of season ticket holders are young Evertonians. "It's one of the most affordable grounds to come to with children," says Rachel Samuels, a teaching assistant and an Evertonian mum. Her family, through the generations, has been coming to Goodison Park for 110 years and she is continuing the tradition with her daughter, Tess. "Knowing that we have our seats and being able to spend time together as a family, doing something we love - it's unique," Samuels says.
Some advice. Stop posting **** with titles in capital letters. It makes you look and sound like an angsty teenager desperate for attention.
To be fair, i don't care what it makes me look like. If people notice them, they've done their job. HOPE THIS IS OK WITH YOU

So TWO GRAND more at Hull City than Huddersfield for the best seats for a family. Its not just me is it??? This can't be allowed to go ahead. please log in to view this image
Respect - Not in our Community 1700 pass holders evicted from the best seats in the ground without consultation. Or even the courtesy of a personal e-mail before it was announced. How many hundred's of years will these pass holders have spent collectively following Hull City. Despite paying more for their seats and supporting the Tigers for decades they are treated with no respect. Respect - Not in our Community Hundreds of pass holders in the South Stand are also being evicted. They were told years ago they could expect it at sometime but that isn't really the point. The move this year is without consultation. Again no personal e-mail. Despite sitting there for years and in some cases since the KC opened they are treated with no respect. Respect - Not in our Community Old Age Pensioners, many with over 50 years following Hull City behind them, have been told they will pay full whack. These people helped keep us afloat when we were bouncing along the bottom. They deserve their cheaper passes. Our oldest supporters have been treated with no respect. Respect - Not in our Community Young people, our future. The people that will continues the tradition of supporting their local football team, as well as creating their own. Told they will pay the same as an adult regardless of their age. If they or their parents can't pay the price they are not welcome. Our future has been treated with no respect. Respect - Not in our Community Should we be surprised at how the owners treats us after the increasing prices for the disabled, the evictions of those in the North East corner, the evictions of the sports clubs in the Airco Arena and now the membership scheme. Respect - Not in our Community Respect, within Hull City there is no respect for its supporters.
When the fence is falling down you have to make a decision on which side to jump. I still need a couple of days thinking time about what it all means and what we could do about it. Respect - Not in my Community
