Season tickets were the incentive

So ELK, if we assume there's no money, how would you propose funding this?

TS pay it out of his pension savings?

30 pounds on every season ticket? - Wouldn't hurt and equates to an approx extra £1.30 per game.
2 pounds on a game day ticket? - This way an extra £46 a season if you went to all games in this measure but, why wouldn't you buy a S/T instead?
1 less player on the playing staff? - Can't really afford to lose a team player
1 less coach on the coaching staff? - How many are they overall throughout the club?
Redundancies on the general staff? - Again how many are they?
Replace another Director? - Who are the Directors and why would you replace them?
Sell the naming rights to NYS to Gay Pride? - How to cause a meltdown and trust this comment was you being facetious?
TS pay it out of his pension savings? - I think he's paid enough don't you?


It may only be a few quid more increase on a S/T but in all fairness to TS, we haven't had an increase for years.

Just going back to the first principles of finance from back in the days of pocket money/Saturday jobs when if I wanted something I either had to gave something up or found a way to earn some more.

The stadium naming was just a prompt that if TS did sell it to 'earn some more' there would likely be uproar from some corner of the MM camp irrespective of who it was sold to. The place I work raise the Pride flag outside our head office on June 1st and lower it again on June 30th when Pride Month is over. Doesn't bother me.

Regarding redundancies with the general staff, do we actually know if they are paid by the club or by one of the other RUFC connected companies?

Also apart from Barker being Warne’s “ assistant” is he actually value for money ?

To be honest I have no idea, just putting the question up for debate

The incentive for me is the cost.
We're lucky to have concession prices and works out at around £9.50 a game and has been the same price for years irrespective of which division we are in.
Plymouth and Portsmouth away are a good weekend, we have relatives in Norwich so Ipswich is another good weekend away.

It's not mandatory to go to a football match it's down to personal choice, plenty of other things to spend your hard earned cash on.

As far as TS and his dream of the Premiership then let him have his dream he's the one subsidising my hobby at present.
Take what the club say at face value and you won't go far wrong.

Don't forget to order merchandise from the Red and White Shop.....Tony may be getting short of Cigars....lol.

It’s great value for us old timers

Decent seat at a very good price, shop discount and free viewing of the reserves at Roundwood ( usually)
