When will these be announced?

Just reading Huddersfield Town are charging £179 in all parts of ground.

About time we did something imaginative with the prices this year.

Doubt we will though.

You'd think they would offer a £50 discount for anyone who sits near the knob with the drum.

I'm surprised it's a flat rate. I sit in the south stand public library and pay a premium because the view is better (although the football is just as shit). I've no problem with them dropping my price down to kop prices, but wouldnt be happy if I sat in the kop and it went up to south stand prices. They could comeup with an average price, but there would still be winners and losers.

I'm not suggesting a flat rate for the ground but for the idiots running the show to show their imagination by slashing prices to apologise for the shit we've suffered for 6 years.

We're being told we're losing eight million this year and its cost them £16 million already this season. Call me cynical but I doubt a price cut is on the cards.

Unless of course they see gates dropping by thousands. Then cheaper tickets to increase gates might happen? Volume approach? :)

All that needs sorting then is what's happening on the pitch.

What's the saying if it ain't broke then don't fix it.

Huddersfield are getting terrible crowds and desperately need to do something to safeguard their future support.

Whereas we are averaging 20,000 so by definition the board have done a good job regards pricing.

Every year it's the same....gates will be below 15,000 next year and every year they remain around the 19K mark.
 
Bradford did excellent pricing this season to get their gates up to about 17k.

It'd be great to see our club doing something like this to reward/apologise to/hang onto fans who have endured this horrendous period but I reckon prices will stay similar (with early bird discount). An increase would be the final nail for some
 
I would expect a price hike if anything. McCabe knows we have got a hardcore of season tickets who will renew year in, year out. He will try and screw as much as he can out of us.

But last season we had optimism over Adkins and having spent £2million in Jan thought we were serious about building a promotion team from what was already a playoff team.

The season before Clough had taken us on an amazing run and we had "game changing investment" to build a promotion team.

I'm not sure what the fans can get optimistic about this time? And the good will for the new board has run out. Clearing some deadwood? Returning to red and white stripes? I think there'll be a dip but not a huge one. Reckon we'll average 16-17k next season.

A permanent deal for Hammond will be enough to persuade me. Throw in a new contract for Collins and they will be able to push prices up a fair bit too.
 
If they don't do something clever regarding season ticket prices I think they'll see a new level of anger not witnessed before
 
A freeze on prices is what will happen and that should be sufficient to please all.
 



Wonder if we will bring out a half and half ST with them ?

I'd have one
 
Every year we say there'll be a massive drop in ST sales. In reality, they never do.
 
If you buy your season ticket online you should be able to "cash in" when we realise that we are just as shit as we have been for the last umpteen seasons and the "wait while January" talk is the usual bollocks. Maybe get £200 back come November, £150 in December or for those that hang on in there, just more heartbreak

Is that an official release from someone at the club, if it is then I'd like to know where they're making these figures up from? When the Prince took over, McCabe wrote all the debts off for £1, since then we've stringently stuck to the wage limit (65% of turnover), got to 2 semi finals, averaged close to 20,000 fans through the gate every home game, had a bumper pay day at OT and sold Maguire for £2.5m and Murphy for £1.75m, so where's the debt come from.

After 5 years in this f***ing cesspod (sic) of a division the board should try rewarding the loyalty of the fans (the only decent thing about the club at the moment) by slashing st prices.

is there a premium for any seat not facing the pitch

Yeh it's called a Stewards minimum wage.

For me
1. a reduced price
2. a free red and white striped shirt for each season ticket holder
3. Sammon driven out of BTBL
3. The big screen fixed and showing replays
...would get me back
 
The best we can hope for is a price freeze.

But unless they give them away there is going to be sizeable drop in sales.

No the £16 million it was based on Shield apparently quoting McCabe saying it was £8 million each when the Staton interview he states it's £8 million in total between them. Which ties in with documentation at Gompanies House.

He didn't write off the debt for a quid at all, he transferred the debt to shares. They now own £14 million £1 shares each.

SCMP limit is 60%.

The losses aren't wuantifiable yet until the next set of accounts come out. Even then there will be little information or breakdown of expenses.
