People sit or stand where they want. I stood at fellows park behind the goal from the age of 13 to about 20. From that age at home whether at Fellows park or Bescot I have always chosen the half way line as I consider that to give the best view of play, formations and tactics. Other people may have differing opinions and they are welcome to them. Numerous scouts, managers of non-playing teams are often seen close to where I sit. Chris Nichol rarely sat in the dugout during maches prefering to sit higher up on the centre line.

Thats gone up a fair whack in recent years mate sure it was about 270 when i looked a couple of years ago
Sure, but you were just using what maybe somebody elseās preferred sitting position as a valid excuse for us charging so much for a discounted season ticket it now overlaps what the current champions of England and treble winners charge for theirs.
Our players, staff and match day costs are an absolute fraction of theirs too. Swings and round abouts, but the fact is the ticket prices are comparable, even when the football isnāt.
If you want to compare like for like I can get the equivalent seat to mine at Manchester city for Ā£915. i donāt think Iāll bother thank you.
Yes. I do comprehend your point.
Do you accept that cheaper season tickets will probably mean a poorer squad and a lower league finish? Or do you disagree?
Or you can move, sit behind the goal and watch Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland in a team coached by Pep Guardiola for cheaper
Itās an outrageous fact but there we are, as I said, Iām not suprised the club is being defended over it because some would about literally anything.

When did I argue for cheaper? I disagree with the INCREASE, especially considering the fact they went up considerably last year too. I explained that further up.
Because of the cost ?
Surely if you donāt have the increase they are cheaper?
Iām really trying to understand you here
You what? 
no if they donāt increase they stay the same price. Iām really trying to understand how you donāt know that.

They are cheaper without the increase than with the increase.
Anyway letās leave it there.
ā¦. What?! when something stays the same it stays the same, it doesnāt get f***ing cheaper. Jesus Christ.
Iāve heard some desperate excuses and mental gymnastics in my time but ā¦
If something costs Ā£400 then is increased to Ā£500 it is cheaper without the increase because Ā£400 is less than Ā£500
Right, but if they are Ā£400 and stay Ā£400 ā¦ they stayed the f***ing same! they didnāt increase or get cheaper. Thatās enough basic words for beginners.
Buy some long trousersš
Yes ok. So I understand your point here
Now my question is if STs remain at Ā£400 rather than increase to Ā£500, do you accept a poorer squad and likely a poorer league campaign than if tickets increase to Ā£500.
Itās just hypothetical to understand where you are coming from.
Nope. Because:
A) theyāve gone up consistently in recent years, including a rather large jump last season.
B) We were told Adebayo going into the premier league would be āthe best deal this club has ever doneā but that the money āwouldnāt come in immediatelyā and considering we have made millions off players in the past Iād expect that to be a decent windfall
C) our owners have enough cash on the hip to be buying other football clubs (and have just signed a nice big new juicy TV deal that we didnāt have last season) so they can put a decent League Two side together.
Itās not all on the fans heads.
Ok. Thank you. I see your point of view.

I agree with a lot of what @el_nombre is saying. Ultimately the āvalueā is what someone is prepared to pay for the product.
I no longer have a ST. It came to a point where i would spend every other weekend wondering why i was subjecting myself to the utter tosh on display and then realising i was actually paying for and committing to it.
I now pick and choose and enjoy my chosen games far more than being obligated to do so.
