Once again, SISU have very little if nothing at all to do with decisions like this. It's an operational matter so will have been made in order to try to cope with revenue losses elsewhere if we go down. If we stay up then actually, it's not a bad increase.

Then it shows they have no grasp of football Kings ,as like everything else they've got it reversed ,they should have done it this season to ensure a budget to help fund a player or two to keep us in this division,and mainain the £4+m. prize for being in it

I'm honest enough to admit i thought the average of £12.50 per match has been too low for this division,and £15-£16 would still have been value for this division ,giving them more to to help fund the squad,but an increase for a potential drop of division is foolhardy and as stated a bove the JSB hike is well out of order.

Yes very odd. This year by seat reduced in price by over £200 but I would have (and expected) to pay the original price. However, once it's done it becomes difficult to start raising again especially with a likelihood of a drop in divisions.

This is true - compared to many clubs, I believe that our prices are very cheap. If you compare what we pay, to that of other top-flight has-beens, we are very cheap. It is no wonder thay can afford better players.

there is an irony here, of course......we all want investors to put money in, including SISU - but we object to doing so ourselves. I know it is more complex than that, before I am shot at - and I am no SISU lover - but if we want better, we have to pay for it, surely?

I think the problem is that people who bought season tickets last year have seen very little of the money reinvested. If they were more expensive and we bought a few players, fair enough. I think we're more likely to see Richard Shaw score again than that happening.

Who will be waiting to see what league we are in before buying theirs? I think it's a fair price for Championship football, but it's a bit much for league 1.

I'll get one anyway, but not sure about my five-year-old. He isn't impressed by football to be honest.

Been many posts on here regarding protests and action against SISU and the way they are runnung our club, SOC and all that but the best protest if they are still here is don't buy season tickets, pay on the day regardless of what division we are in

Yes. There should be a big campaign to do this.

They need to f*ck off!

They can't put us into admin as they're the only major creditor, ditto liquidation.

Starve them of funds and they will HAVE to sell as they're not keen on funding us.

After the season they're putting us through they've got some cheek.

Pay on the day people - don't give these b*stards a big cash advance before they sod off.

I was going to get my 4 year old a season ticket but sisu can feck off if they think I'm coffing up 138 for him. I already pay for 2. I'll push him through with me when he wants to go up. Targeting young families,these kids are the future fans. Disgracefull.

Just more evidence (if it was needed) that SISU don't care about the future of the club. We
Need these kids to grow up as City supporters.

You've been penalised for using the phrase 'inter-bred' (rather than inbred) and stating that 'your mother is your father, and your father is your mother' makes someone 'inter-bred' when it is in fact trans-sexualism or possibly cross-dressing which is the issue.

Anyone remember what the earliest bird price was for the band that's now £299? I had mine by this time last year and think it came to about £280ish overall?

The saddest thing in this, is the under 7 prices. I have had a season ticket for my granddaughter for a couple of seasons, from the age of three. But she has only been a few times, hence, when it was free, I did not mind.

My grandson is nearly three now- time to take him up occasionally?......well, not now. Thats two future fans lost.....by the time they are old enough for me to justify paying for them, they will not be interested in ccfc, if we still exist.

I sometimes wonder, have these people (that make these decisions) ever taken a child to a football match? If there is not a lot of excitement, their interest soon wavers, and you don't get to see a lot of the game yourself. You cannot buy an expensive ticket and then only see bits of games. So, you don't take them.

More nails in the coffin.

Is that a definite even in the JSB area?

My lad is 3 and a bit and next season was going to take him up (When he was up here with me) and get him a season ticket. Like you say at that age their attention span is all of 5 minutes before they’re bored. Sod that for a game of soldiers forking out for him to get restless after 5 minutes.

Thing is, even if new owners takeover end of season, these prices will be in place and implanted.

Shame

On a side note, fair play to Olympics for their novel idea. I paid just £3 for my boy’s ticket for the Ricoh in the summer.

Basically however old the child is, is how much their ticket is. So a 5 year old is a fiver.

The JSB under 7 is still £0 in the family zone.

One of the sensible ideas to come from the 2012 Olympics!

I know moneys tight these days but £12 matchday and £249 stand(LOL) season tickets at Nuneaton borough. Its no wonder we can,t afford decent wages for players to compete in League 1 let alone the championship.Still want SISU out though if only for the disrespect they,ve shown our fans.With the £20 voucher(1/2 price shirt which I,ll buy anyway) its pretty much the same as last year.
