John Smith Woodcote Royal Because, sh+t for brains, some of us really want to support the club and, believe it or not, this has more to do with willingly putting your hand in your pocket than singing about stabbing Swindon fans. So, while being offered a season ticket for £20 might send you and half this board into multi orgasmic delight, those who really have the clubs best interests at heart would be concerned for its long term future.
HTH
If, "shit for brains", you knew anything about the economics of football you would know that ticket sales make up less than 10% of club's income and it has been stated far and wide over recent weeks (notably after the Liverpool £72 debacle) that they could in fact charge £10 a ticket and still be hardly affected as a business.
So you crack on and chuck your money away pal.
While I'd seriously doubt that figure outside the Prem (from where would, say, Oxford United, get 9 times their gate money in additional income
) but even if that figure was only 5%, real fans would want to do their bit financially where as you, and at least half the pr*cks on this board think making a noise in the stadium is far more important.
Meanwhile, 2-0 And A Penalty, Mr Solid Harper or whatever umpteenth username he cares to use was thinking of attending regularly for the first time since Elm Park but has now changed his mind,
again Beam me up, Scotty, no intelligent life forms to report
