Rugbyman I was not getting at the supporters trust my contribution to them was entirely voluntary tying to help the section who are trying to help the club but feel agrieved that we are treated in this manner by the club after all the years of supporting the club by attending matches and various fund raising schemes

I don't know how these prices are arrived at......but one thing is sure someone sat down and did some sums based around what the base income should be from ticket sales.
Now I hope that this was based on the demographics of the make-up of our core support.
I do hope someone didn't just chuck figures into a hat to make up that base amount.
It would be better for the adult price to increase by a quid for the senior price to come down £2.
£13 adults
£8 seniors
IMHO...of course.

But managers are there to manage....so good luck to them.
However it does pay to do a little market research first....and ask customers what is fair.
Now some people will want something for nothing....but most people are sensible and would have a feel for what sensible prices should be for the club to make a go of it.

One price up £1.00 and another down by £2.00, how many adults are now out of work

Well certainly most seniors.
Perhaps you would like to tell me what YOU think they should pay?

Bruce , it wasnt mentioned about the £10 admission for games but it was on the application forms handed out to those who attended !

For what its worth I think the club needs to have a re think on the Pensioners prices !

Strange that it wasn't actually mentioned though Paul.
Even though the kid for a £1 was mentioned in great detail at the Forum.
To be honest had it been mentioned i'm sure someone would have questioned the logic of it.

I agree Bruce.

I think the match day & season ticket prices are a bit high. My father in law commented on that when he saw the prices.

But the whole point is that the OAP price has been upped by £4 on last years price.
Thats a rise as others have already pointed out of over 66%

If its not ok in your view to raise the Adult price by £1.

Then it's surely can't be fair to raise the OAP price by £4.

The club is rightly so being run on a tight budget--but there will be many OAP supporters
out there also on a tight budget and we can't afford to lose anymore supporters next season.

And there are a good few adult's who have been brought to the game by their parents
who are now OAP's and if one stops coming the others may choose not to come also.

I think it is the principle as much as the actual money.....it's just not right to hike a price by two thirds to some of the least well off.
