  Happy and Unhappy!
  
  As a STH I am happy with the price of a renewal at £575, I judged this to be about right and as such have the money to pay up front.
  What I disagree with mostly is that I have been a STH for over 15years and my anger is over the last few years more than anything. I consider myself to have been incredibly loyal at a time when everyone else was shying away (plastic fans!). My point is that now we are Premier League and among the big boys, my loyalty has saved me all of £25 compared to a NEW STH.
  I am disgusted at this and would complain if I thought it would get me anywhere. I feel badly treated by the Club at a time that I’ve witnessed heartbreak up to jubilation in our rise to the big time once more.
  
  I am extremely happy with price, just not the saving I’m making.
  
  Wouldn’t it have been nice for EVERY STH that was around while we were in League 1 up to now, to be told that we could have an extra 10% off or even a FREE Home Shirt for standing by the Club…. No such luck.

  Can understand your mixed feelings on this. There are a number of people who could probably 'justify' some kind of freebe, especially season ticket holders of recent years and the regular travelling faithful. It won't happen and it's probably a correct commercial decision.
  
  In the end, we will all vote with our feet (and a little with our hearts).
  
  It doesn't affect me because of where I live, what I earn, what else I have to prioritise and what I'd be prepared to pay.
  
  In the end, along with most people on here, and accepting that seating and purchasing policies have altered and will affect some more than others, it seems about right.
  
  If anyone is to 'blame' (big word that) for the 'high' price of a football ticket, it's probably those who take most money out of the game - the top-earning players, agents etc.
  
  Probably the best way to justify it is to think like this:
  Ballpark figure? £600 or so? That's, what? 200 pints?
  
  In other words, one week's supply of beer for Slugger, Bill Seedhouse and RedArmy combined!
  
  Bargain!

  200 pints between 4 blokes for a week ?
  7 pints a day?
  or 2 or 3 weekday and a semi-serious drink at the weekend?
  Season ticket is a bargain ! ! ! ! !
  I'm getting one !
  200 pints for 4 blokes for an away game? that seems a little more likely !"
