I realise this has become the Bill Bratt thread but Huddersfield adult season tickets for all parts of the ground are £299.

Tranmere are £396.

Bradford City who usually give season tickets away with a box of sugar puffs are actually £349 this season.

It will be interesting to see how many season tickets Bradford sell if this is the case ? i am sure they normally sell double figures ?

OK let's use your analogy. 

Either save up or do without. 

Then what? 

An extra 2,000 fans at bare minimum are being disenfranchised that is £670.000 lost right there. 

Make it affordable for all and make Vale park the 12th man... All the way to the Premiership. 

If Barnsley and Luton can do it so can Vale. 

Sadly we struggled to get 10'000 home fans for the biggest cup game of our modern history. 

I expect once the dust settles that people will renew . Its in their DNA.

The budget issue is now mute. The club have substantial money through the acquistion

This past season is on Carol... Time for her to put her money where her mouth is and make amends. 

Tell me about the “acquistion”.

I fully appreciate that you’re on a wind up but have to say if you’re saying Bratt ran the club well the facts don’t seem to back that up.

One of the biggest problems facing our current owners was putting right decades of off the field neglect.

He is just after a reaction and he continues to get it on here tbf

Who’d be an owner of a football club supporters urge their owners (all clubs)to spend big but moan their bag off if the people in charge put up match prices and other costs ffs VTID

And that follows a season of relegation from National League North. 

I wouldn't see any of KR44's nonsense unless it's quoted.

It's blatantly obvious that he is trying to harm the club, for crude self-serving motives, so I blocked him.

In case anyone was wondering, I have never even met any of the Shanahans and my only "closeness" to them is that I'm grateful to Carol and Kevin for rescuing and continuing to rebuild our club.

I'll be doing all I can to help them.

I refute that! 

“Watch your EFL team at least 20 times next season”

Thats the narrative Sky are pushing.

Almost half of our games next season will not be on a Saturday at 3pm.

Thats the biggest issue for those buying season tickets.

Not quite sure how they planning on doing that, for leagues 1 and 2, they talk about 5 fixtures across the 2 leagues each week, would imagine it being 3 league one fixtures and 2 league two fixtures getting shown.  If only 20% being shown in the league I'd be surprised but like you say, that is what they are trying for.  I can just see it, 12.30 away to Gillingham and Bromley.

As far as I’m aware it’s 10 fixtures from the championship. 5 from league 1. 5 from league 2.

Friday nights. Saturday dinner. Saturday evening. Sunday. 
 

Season tickets will be down across the league. The clubs sold out to this though for the money.

Clubs were not properly consulted. According to Andy Holt, clubs had to vote before seeing how it would actually work. 

So I blame Rick Parry and the EFL. 

Here's an Athletic article that breaks it all down:

The new deal represents a 50 per cent rise in TV rights income compared to the current arrangement.

Under the existing terms, the EFL estimated annual revenue for its 72 member clubs stands at £119million, with an extra £7m in streaming income. From next season, annual income from TV will increase to £180m plus £7m from both domestic streaming and international.

The way money is distributed favours Championship clubs, who tend to attract the most viewers. When the deal was announced last year, the EFL predicted teams in the second tier would be 46 per cent better off compared to 25 per cent in its other two divisions.

One club official, who spoke to The Athletic about the broadcast changes earlier this month on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, estimated the increase in League One will work out at £450,000 per club and maybe a little over half that in League Two.
