Well said benaldo but you have to remember that Norfolk is a nob by his own admission
I have a great idea! I will go to Morrisons and buy my weekly shop then offer them a sum of money that I can afford as I am a low earner. Sorry this is the real world we all live. I agree watching football is not the cheapest entertainment around, I would love to have a new car but I can't afford one so I don't own one. I have to cut my cloth accordingly in these hard times thanks to the governments cuts.I am sure DRFC would love make all tickets cheaper but high wages and costs within football dictate that this is impossible.I do not feel anyone at the club is rubbing their hands in anticipation of screwing as much money as possible out of their loyal supporters \"young or old employed or unemployed.
Are you the guy that has a go at Seth Bennett?Quote from: \"DearneValleyRover\" post=143485Well said benaldo but you have to remember that Norfolk is a nob by his own admission
It's unfortunate that you think I was being nasty (re-read your post to the young lady) but in general your posts have a glass half empty spin on them and the last time I pointed this out to you, your reply was that you were often called a nob. If your not one then accept my apologies.
Now I can't be the only one who thinks that the season ticket prices for next season are just unreasonable?I'm going to have to go without a season ticket for the first time in around 5 years simply because the prices are too high and I know I'm not the only one. I know that they are offered at a cheaper rate at the minute...but they have to be bought by March, whilst people are still paying for this season! Now, before anyone points to prices at other clubs to justify it, I don't think people should be paying these prices anywhere! And Rovers are in danger of excluding their hardcore support by just pricing tickets too high and they just don't have the numbers to replace them. They are also discouraging potential supporters from coming along to the odd game and from regular supporters from making the plunge and buying a season ticket. It also feels like cheek that they have raised season ticket prices despite a large number of games this season having reduced gate ticket prices o.ONow, I'm not just grumbling. I don't want my football club to fall into financial straits just because people aren't coming because it's to expensive. I also want to be able to afford to watch the football club I've supported since I was a little girl. Please sign my petition.Let the board know that the rices are just to high and more would come if the prices were at least reasonable.I am also proposing that tickets should be priced according to income rather than age. ie. There should be a Dependant, Unemployed/Benefits, Student tickets and so on...I think this would show that the club is aware of the economic climate in Doncaster and would bring more fans to the club.http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/drfcPlease sign =] lets not be typical grumbling Rovers fans and actually do something!
why do people go through this garbage every season? you all know the time is coming around, just like this time next season it will be time to re-new your season tickets again. its like a brown envelope has landed on some people`s doormats with a £340 bill to pay by end of march and its caught them by surprise. just throw a few pennies in a tub each week / month then this time next year you`ll not be caught short. surely there is more than me who does this
So the OP is telling me students are worse off than your average youngster with a job - yeah ok then.I had 2 jobs at uni, it enabled me to go to gigs, festivals, football games, alsorts because I blooming worked for it, I wasn't much worse off as a student as I am now - difference is rather than just rent I have taxes, national insurance etc taking most of the difference.The season ticket prices are fine, it's the mentality of the fans that isn't, most of whom don't realise just how lucky we are.
To the people on here moaning about the prices, what would you like to pay? As someone has already mentioned our season ticket prices are already in line with some League 1 and League 2 clubs, lower them anymore and that's where we'll end up playing. Some people don't seem to realise that we are punching above our weight on a limited budget as it is, and season ticket sales provide vital revenue to the club.The only thing I can agree with you about is switching from an age based pricing policy to a student discount for reasons I have talked about before on here.

Quote from: \"drfcsteve\" post=143605The only thing I can agree with you about is switching from an age based pricing policy to a student discount for reasons I have talked about before on here.it wont happen, they went from students/employed to age based due to a lack of take-up from students in the first place, i believe there were less than 100 student season ticket holders.
If that's the case then you can see the logic behind the desision to scrap them. However you could ask why the take-up was so low, we all know how notoriously bad DRFC marketing are, maybe students didn't know about it?
