Playing the devils advocate.

I do believe that many people believe we should have a high budget purely because we get higher gates than many but how much is that down to a very cheap pricing range for STs . Interestingly our official site has broken our early bird STs down to price per match ( obviously only if you attend all league games) & it brings home just why we sell so many STs. Examples per game, under12 ?1.04...under18 ?2.26...under 21 ?5.09...under 25 ?7.61...Seniors ?9.35 & Adults ?14.13. The big surprises to me were kids @ just over a quid & young adults which means that young adults can bring a couple of their kids down for less than a tenner all in. I think it's a great move by the club but it would be interesting to see a gate receipt league rather than the usual attendance tables, it could be closer than many believe. COYP

Chesterfield charge all their fans about 100 pounds a season more than us.
For us 10,000 fans all paying 100 pounds more would be 1m pounds a season. 4 pounds more a game. But then we wouldnt get 10000 fans although I would pay it. I think it is an absolute bargain even if they do drive me to despair sometimes.
