  I am personally tired of hearing from people complaining about the price increases for season tickets this year. I work in an industry where our costs have hgone up month upon month from suppliers and general running costs. Therefore we have to pass on the increases to our customers, many of which are very loyal who use us month upon month, year upon year. Unfortunately whilst we keep increases down to a minimum for these customers, if we did not increase by a large enough margin then we would go bust and I among many people would be out of a job. So why do people expect Southampton football club to be any different? Costs have increased, demand has increased... They have done what they can do for the loyal supporters, but just like the company I work for, if they don't make changes they could soon go bust... Nobody would want that. These things have to be put in place now, especially when the UEFA financial fair plays rules come into play very soon. This is the way it is and the way life is unfortunately.

  randre, WAY too much to even bother to read, i make comments to and about people who talk about stuff not relevent to them, or they take some moral highground trust me if you have a disabled person in your family and struggle finacially then you'll take all help offered and not worry what people think of you for doing so, I am able to buy tickets but some arnt is my point, You dont get anything for free and i always said it'll change sometime. This isnt Portsmouth nobody is going to loose their job over some free tickets if anything people will be receiving rises. I couldnt care less what you think about what iv said you need to look at the business of football as a whole and the massive new revenue that will now be generated by the 12 thousand plastic fans that will be attending this season.

  Easy...if you don't take the time to read posts, why comment on them? You have views...and I respect them...but I don't respect your cheap shots at fellow posters in earlier comments.
  For the record, I think EVERY fan should contribute for a day's entertainment at SMS. The question of how much to charge is the choice of the marketing dept at SMS and no one else...those who don't like it can vote with their feet.

  Thank you Baddeslley Bill, a swift post of common sense.

  You would willingly sell your house and all it's contents for the cause...very laudable...and foolish.
  Mmm...bring on the new shirts...30% increase never enough...can't we have an inferior product at least 50% dearer...blind loyalty at all costs eh?
  Plastic fans? Is that name derived from the method of payment or entry to the ground?
