Most of these types are bi t ch I n g about prices and sat there fiddling with a £1000 phone.

Smoke less, eat less, waste less on various multiple TV subscriptions if you need to but they won’t, they still do all that sh it AND buy a season ticket.

You’re living in the past, fans aren’t working down the pit and banging chain in a steel factory and then having their two shillings of pleasure at the football anymore…..football became a middle class sport three decades ago now.

Your as middle class as they come, so am I and so are the vast majority.

The working class were weeded out long ago in the main.

They could charge £100 a game and still people will “find” the money.

Many can’t find the money for everything though. Many supporters are being turned off football by the riches the players earn. Even our players turning up in 100 grand plus cars and they couldn’t even be a rsed before the game signing a few kids autographs. Sad really!

Once upon a time I remember the club paying for our supporters to travel to one away game. Other clubs have given supporters a free drink or whatever. It’s called gratitude. Clearly this is not possible if you spend millions on players who are absolute s hit and a business is in debt.

Maybe if the club said prices are increasing but Patel will in turn be investing heavily in player recruitment. Now that’s a thought!

Some will wait to but season tickets before they see Patels intentions - and that’s not his glowing smile and another pair of designer shades. People want to be entertained and whilst Carlos did a great job - the football was mostly dull and uninspiring. You don’t see that from a Mowbray team regardless of where they finish!
