Director resigns then really early season ticket sale for next season. Lets hope this is warning sign because it would be easy to jump to that conclusion.
My thoughts exactly. Usually the early bird offer extends to Xmas so this is quite concerning.
And doing the maths, it looks like the South Stand admission is increasing from £19 to £22 and the East Stand from £22 to £25. OK, it's the first increase for quite some time, but the admission has got way ahead of itself since the 90s when it broke a fiver, since which time it's quadrupled but the average salary has hardly doubled.
I think we can wave goodbye to attracting new fans if we're asking them to stump up over 20 quid for lower tier RL. And the 15% increase will probably be wiped out by an equivalent decrease in the crowd, so self defeating imo.
