I agree. It's not hit me so I don't feel it like others.

However, every other club has gone down that route. Clearly he's don't the research and seen that. Some have gone further and pushed it to the new pension age.

No one wants it, especially when in the scheme of things. The increase will pay a few weeks wages for the squad but will hit some fans hard.

How many existing holders do we have between 61 & 64? I'd guess around 1000 max. If it is and the marginal difference is £40 then it's not a significant sum and all they had to do was say new ones at 60, but existing who renewed they would continue to honour (would only be 3-4 years max with eg 25% falling off each year. It's still not too late to do that. An easy win and not that material in terms of total revenue.

So people aren't happy to credit him for listening to the people who were angry.

If you supported the prices, you're not allowed to credit him for listening?

Have they got Fisher back in to write the press releases?

In all seriousness they need to have a huge clampdown on people taking the piss with kids tickets being used by adults. That was obviously the idea behind the initial pricing and pushing the kids to the family zone. Even if it means more staff check tickets before you get in the ground

Pre-covid they used to check your ticket before the turnstile, no reason this can't be done again. Colour code tickets / season ticket cards so it's very easy to tell who is using a concession ticket. As has been said several times easier to not let people in on the wrong ticket than try and kick them out

I'd argue a decision a government makes is more important than deciding to drop the season tickets by 75 quid though.

Excellent move from Doug to listen to the concerns and amend pricing to suit.

He was clearly concerned about the new lyrics to his song

He does have a point though.

If Doug was a politician CWR would be accusing him of doing a U turn now!

They will have to get cleverer stewards outside the turnstyles.

Fair play Doug for listening and doing a u-turn. £125 for my daughters ST is more palatable now. Presumably that’s in addition to the £50 JSB membership though? Not mentioned in the new article so I’ll assume it is.

Can’t believe Doug’s just blown a hole in Robins’ budget for Operation Premiership just because a load of kids didn’t want to move to the kids corner - unbelievable lack of ambition really.

Its a minor fuck up but better to tweak stuff now before tickets are even on sale than plough on and piss a load of fans off. I think fair play

The marginal difference is £295 to £480 so considerably more than £40.

Why did it have to happen like this though Pete? If supporter reps like yourself have supposedly been advocating for us through the whole process, why is it that Doug King seems to have been totally blindsided by the response?

Out of interest, would people have been happy with the concession prices if they were the prices offered initially?
