those ticket prices are an absolute disgrace and would be even at Premier League level.
No longer the working mans game. If you want to increase revenues then persuade more people to come through the gates at £30 (max), don't take advantage of those that turn up by charging them £52. Dread to see the cost of my ST next year. Absolutely disgusting

Not Surprised.
I said that match day prices would average £38 when ST prices were announced & I was not a million miles out. DC is serious about promotion. He has paid for a new pitch, a new scoreboard & is part way through buying us an exciting squad that will challenge for promotion. This is the price we have to pay, sadly. Seems like a lot of fans still believe in magic beans.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Nothing to do with that Steve, he never said I'll pay for the new pitch etc but I'm gonna whack the prices up. He is pricing families and large sections of the fan base out of the game.

I can agree with that up to a point. DC has invested a lot already, he will continue to do so. This is wonderful and exciting no doubt about it.
He is also a very wealthy businessman whom can afford to do so, he could have kept prices a little lower until the delivery of the promised land. This mean 99% of ST holders will need to use a Credit Card. As for the 'pay on the day' crowd. I can't imagine taking 2-3 kids for a day out to the Rotherham game as Consilio pointed out, imagine how much money that is for most people that could be much more wisely used. Wrong demographic, we're not all plastic cockney glory supporters up North

So he want's me to pay £126 (daughter will be 18 this season) plus another £21 ??? for the 11 YO just to get in the ground for the occasional game
I don't think I'll be able to justify paying the best part of £250 for a football match. I know there are various schemes to reduce the cost but there are many people out there who cannot be anything other than occasional supporters due to their other commitments in life. I suppose Burnley, Blackburn, Preston and the Village are close to me and MK is near the eldest's (wild horses wouldn't get me in Bellend Road) so I think I'll be sticking to away games in future  Goodbye 'Old Lady'  it was nice knowing you 
and complicated

They were £9 last season. Mind you, with the way prices are going up the'll be about £30 anyway United will get bigger crowds than us in the league below even if we are pushing for promotion £49 to watch us play Rotherham at home

Price, Palmer, Lees, Susso, Dielna, Meadows, Seme, Hutch, May, Nuhiu, Lavery - starting lineup v Ilkeston 2nite.

It's quite a turn backwards after such a progressive week regarding the new squad shape.
This is why I'm so pessimistic in life. It's Wednesday's fault. Things never stay positive for long Lovely new pitch, huge screen Tv... and a half empty ground. I hope his advisors come up with a re-think, a scheme such as discounts on attending consecutive home (and away?) games wouldn't be bad. fiver off your second game in a row then a quid up to a certain point there after, say 10 games? By the time people have attended ten home games they will be paying what they should have been. Shouldn't need to be a re-think at all it's a bit extortionate.
