Everyone knows times are hard even the club.

So far I have seen the following offers...

Season tickets at last years prices
Pay monthly @ 20 quid, think was
Mate got told you could pay in two installments
Pay in full @ 160 quid.

I don't think the club could have done more than they have. I think if people are honest and look at their outgoings for treats then @ £160 for the year is one of the cheapest things they will do. You can't get gym membership for that etc.

I accept people make their choices but I think moaning about prices, time of year etc is not applicable on this. PS anyone know if they can be baught Boxing day and do you need a photo?

It would be great if the Golden Goal thing could be publicised and run at every home match

I've been thinking about the increase in price for next years season ticket.
Last year we got 9 league matches and 2 northern rail cup games.

This year we have 13 league matches. As far as i'm aware we no longer compete in the group stage of the northern rail, championship teams are automatically entered into the last 16 knockout stage.

So we only have 2 extra matches for a £40 increase.

The tickets can be bought 6 days a week from the shop in town. You do need a photograph yes, but if you had a ticket last year and you don't mind it being cut up, you can bring that with you and it can be used again. I am sure tickets will be able to be bought on Boxing Day, just make sure you bring cash, as the shop does not have a card reader and I don't think there is one at the ground either. Hope this helps.

Season tickets will be on sale at the Halifax game on Boxing day all you will need is a photo, they do have a card machine down at the club, just see Wendy on the day.

£160 to some is a serious amount of money.
I know of 3 fans who were season ticket holders. One has been laid off. The other two are now on short time.
They have told me. They will be picking and choosing which games to go to.

For you to say, but I think moaning about prices, time of year etc is not applicable on this clearly shows. You are not aware, how hard much some are finding it.

For me personally, I may miss a few home games so it makes more financial sense to pay on gate.

For some £160 is a lot of money to shell out this time of year.

£120 in May on Credit card was a great deal x2 (Think i paid £10 in interest charges over 3 months) No brainer.
All about planning really

Purely playing devils advocate. What about those who don't have one, don't want a credit card or can't get a credit card.

Let me put this on record, I have no issue with the price of the season tickets. For me, it doesn't make financial sense to get one, but I'll be there when I can. Do I think the club have done enough to market it, No. Could more have been done, yes.

Must be a good APR % mate? I suppose if you pay it off pretty quickly it's savy, but otherwise it becomes an expensive ticket. Depends on your circumstances I suppose.
