Home form has been appalling , if we were 12-13th but winning 60-70 of our home games we probably would be in a better place regards season tickets. Ironically looks to me , based on churn of new faces, that there is increased demand for away games.
The thing that really gets my goat is the annual price increase. The actual amount raised for the club and its insignificance compared to other revenue streams seems wildly out of kilter to the actual cost pressure it puts on those supporters trying to make ends meet. In the grand scheme of club revenues and costs it seems almost insignificant and would have been so easy to hold costs to help supporters out.

I jacked my ST of 30 years in this season. Been to a few games using exchange tickets and that's been fine.
VAR did it for me. Taken away that brilliant moment when we score, the best bit of live football.

Every head of every BHAFC department has their own individual profit target to meet. Hence the incessant price gouging

In all seriousness, it would be interesting to know what the longevity of a STH is.
when you get to my age there are bound to be more people succumbing to old age related conditions who for those reasons cannot go, and of course those no longer with us ( which at the last game of the season is quite a sobering viewing as the older you get the more you seem to recognise) You also now have people whose financial circumstances change , especially with the orange ones‘ efforts to make everyone apart from billionaires poor, and those who move away etc.
my first one was in the early eighties as before that it was POTG and there was no real reason to get one. I think people got one at withdean and then Amex to be guaranteed a seat really. Perhaps nowadays there are so many on the exchange and unsold, there is no incentive to get one. Also with MyAlbion+ getting a ticket via friends ST is very easy
Apologies. For some reason I thought you were a new comer.

Those WSU stairs are going to be the deal-breaker for every single STH at some point. Maybe ask the club how come the new club shop appears to have an escalator and the WSU doesn't?

And we can all imagine the requirement for Barber to get his annual pay rise. We pay for it.

Quick question
i was watching the Dortmund game vs BMG and there was a penalty , VAR given, and Pascal was remonstrating with the ref for ages about it. In Germany is the rule about only the captain being allowed to talk to the ref enforced strictly as he wasn’t captain at that point?

Brilliant news for us non-season ticket holders though, more choice and chance of tickets. Every cloud.

This is a major gripe - the cup games were so much more exciting. I don’t care (to an extent) if decisions are right all the time, just let the ref make them. VAR has sucked a lot of excitement out of top level football.

I’ve renewed but I must confess to finding my support waning a little for the following reasons in no particular order:
- possession football v low block is very dull
- disconnection with players
- increased prices and the feeling that we are being ripped off a bit whenever possible
- VAR
- ever changing kick off times
- transport links
- same old teams we have played for 7 seasons now
- other things in my life appearing more attractive to do at the weekend
Out of all these things I’d probably say the boredom of the matches is the biggest factor. If they were more exciting I doubt any of the factors would come into play as they were pretty much present under RDZ.

Tightening next season...
The same rule exists but I guess it’s not as strictly enforced given what you saw. Or maybe Pascal is of such stature the ref thinks he’s the skipper.

PBOBE's clearly refused to sanction double time for the Chaileybot for this public holiday. Tho I'm pretty sure we'll hear from him tomorrow

You can have the best transport links, prematch fanzone and everything, but it's whether people enjoy what they are seeing on the pitch that get people to turn up.
