Can't be bothered with it, what incentive is there for season ticket holders? We pay upfront in the summer and help the club out when they need the money, how about a bit in return for a change?

Make it attractive to us and you'd get a better gate. Full league prices does nothing to attract the casual fan or the season ticket holder who stumps up the thick end of £200 in advance.

Any suggestions on a suitable incentive?!

I guess that the club's hands are tied on admission prices and that they can't be different for season ticket holders.

So what can they do for season ticket holders?

Free match programme?

Free pint in the Pilgrim Lounge?

What would entice you along?

You know when you buy a season ticket, that it doesn't include cup games.

800 fans at full price is worth more than 1000 at half price.

£10 for terrace and £12 for seats?

A two pound saving on normal prices.

They could do it if they wanted, season ticket holders produce one of the vouchers from the book. Its not a lot, just a gesture in times of economic hardship. Plus its not open to abuse by non ST holders.

And yes Einstein, I'm well aware of the matches covered by a season ticket, thats why I buy one. Its only midweek league games I struggle to get to so it makes good sense.

What difference would 2 pounds make to the attendance? It would surely cause the gate receipts to go down?

They can't "do it if they wanted" as Workington have to agree to the pricing.

No-one mentioned your availability for any matches at all, so where that comes into this I do not know.

Pendant......?

Shods, is a new word for arsehole?

I'm amazed at how many people live their life in the BUFC bubble where the whole world revolves around the club.........I'm sure he thinks if he doesn't do or say what the club want to see or hear he'll not get his picture in the programme or on the website any more!!!

Ah yes, if all else fails, bring out the derogatives.

Nice to see 743 people managed to get themselves to the ground today, well done to every one of them.
