Biggles - re your 1500 post Those are 'average' figures. You claimed 'most pensioners' in your original post. Make your mind up. Can't have it both ways.

I'd pay full price if they didn't hit us with those bright ad hoardings for winter and evening games.

If you want stats, here are some to chew on: [Link] Based on govt. figures it says (among other things) that the average UK pensioner's income (per head) is just over £18,000 a year AFTER direct taxes and housing costs have been paid. It goes on to point out that the average earnings of UK workers is £35,000 a year. But after taxes, national insurance and pension contributions, this falls to £26,500. But then these workers still have to pay for their housing cost (rents or mortgages). So, the average pensioner has disposable income of £1,500 per month to spend on council tax, utility bills, food, clothes, car, entertainment etc.

I'm popular RK,Biggles and you ain't 😂

The adult discussion needs to be at PLC Board level. I doubt anything said here would get much support or be acted on

Good win for Surrey.

The quicker we make the top 3rd floor a hotel the better.

Lol,does need to be an adult discussion as to why with near full capacity and vast corporate we can't break even at the very least.

Biggles getting hammered for suggesting exactly the same as Spit. Can't see any criticism of the latter. This Guestbook!

Maybe no concession in the west stand ,might help pay for it.

The middle-class left don't mix with people like that, Meadow ;)

If there was a wage cap on player salaries then perhaps the club could afford to reduce ticket prices

Surely though, before targeting a group of people to put through the club's money mangle, make them (the club) more accountable, plus as I've said before, any income from the white elephant is better than none. But they'll just sit, twiddling their thumbs and do nothing, as usual.

I mean, I suppose technically I could afford to pay £50 for my seat, but I'm not bloody doing it.

As below, whether someone can or can't afford something does not equate to whether they will or will not buy it at that price.

CM - Well said. Hate it when one age group all get tarred with the same brush.

From a lefty like Biggles that surprisingly shows a complete lack of understanding of the predicament of your average pensioner, many of whom survive on Pension Credit which provides for just the very basics

I see Biggles is back to his "rich man good poor man bad" stance on life.

Oh yeah, let the filthy rich OAPs (show me figures to support that) give more dosh for them to pour down the drain. Great idea.

The first MD we hire who manages to make the West Stand wash its face will go down in history. I refuse to believe that it's a lost cause. Far more likely according to Mr Occam that we haven't worked it out yet. Did Mr Tinroof mention it in his recent podcast interview? Concerning if not.

Oh, also, from below, depreciation of the stadium is not once off, it's been given a 50 year life on the books. Whether you agree that non-cash items are representative or not of the finances is a question, but don't expect depreciation to disappear from the accounts anytime soon.

Here's an idea. All ST holders with an income above minimum wage should be made to pay a wealth tax paid directly to the club. Let's say 10%, they don't need it.

I'd want the club to provide some pretty persuasive evidence that they were competitively running the back office and events business before I could be persuaded that (more) ticket price increases were the solution. It's not just about squeezing the fans for more money, it's also about running a good business and making hard decisions for profitability.

Biggles - many people only have the state pension to live on.

Spit- and Accy.
