Expected an increase and will be renewing our 3 STs. As other have said I have noticed increases in parking (now £7) and the Beer (think it’s £4.40 a pint) which considering it’s still crap and in plastic winds me up.
However now where else I would rather be on Saturday afternoon !
I go with my son to most home games but we do not have have season tickets. I have been seriously considering getting us season tickets next season but the increases has put me off. I do understand though that if we are to compete for promotion Flynn needs a bigger budget it may just mean we pick and choose games next season.
That’s a big old increase. We must, like most clubs I suppose, have a lot of fans who travel 15 miles and upwards, having moved from the area, and associated costs of petrol or rail fares are rising.
I shall still renew, because I am obsessed, and I can afford it, but I can understand if it is too much for some.
A shame that with support increasing we are hit with an inflation-buster of a rise.
I understand the business case for the increases. They may lose a few season ticket holders but the pounds take will increase.
I hope that there is a supplementary offer for people for whom this might be stretch. Say ten vouchers for £160 that could be redeemed against any home games next season. Whilst this wouldn’t facilitate having a specified seat I would still count people who brought in this way as season ticket holders if we had another big game.
Walsall is an archetypal blue collar working class club. The very people suffering the most during a cost of living crisis. If we’re about the town and about the community, there needs to be more affordable access to being part of the club. My half way house suggestion is one way of doing it. There are many other ways. I hope the club are thinking about some of them.
For me, I’ll renew - because I can. But I want to be part of something as inclusive as possible.
Anybody sit in club 1888? Do you consider it decent value for what you get? Programme parking all cup games and friendlies, and other things. I’m considering it this coming season
