Anyway, does anyone know what is happening with Lucas Dawson? Hopefully he's been signed by Nantwich or the like as that's about his level.

Be interesting to see the kids offer, seeing as it's free with paying adult in West stand, unless that's being scrapped

I know we're all frustrated by this but why speculate now when in a few hours we can comment on the actual prices? I must be in the tiny minority that's not in the least bit frustrated about when the season tickets are put on sale, when they do come out I will just buy one. Simples.

The trouble is there is a huge divide between those on the inside and everyone else. They deludedly carry on like everything is rosy in the garden. Posting pictures of season ticket letters to try and stir excitement when there is literally none. It's like they are trying to create a reality that just doesn't exist. I'm at a loss to understand how such a bubble can exist within a club that's supposed to be owned by the fans, for the fans. However, unless things start to change and that connection returns, it's very difficult to see a positive conclusion.

Unlike yourself, some of us need to budget ahead in purchasing season tickets as the cost is not exactly loose change ! Delaying this announcement for no apparent reason doesn't really help.

Waiting for an answer to see how much under 12s season tickets are without paying adult.
If the club are continuing the Swettenhams family stand offer of last season (free child with paying adult) then this season ticket offer is pointless, unless the child sits elsewhere.
If the Swettenhams family stand offer is discontinued then that's disappointing.

Superb prices. Used to be £50 for under 16s, now £50 for 12-18. Helps me out. Now let's do our bit and buy our season tickets, I'll be there tomorrow morning hopefully.

The key to this offer working is having enough adults willing to pay full price for the whole season. With nothing to warm the cockles in terms of management or signings, it is difficult to see how this will have a significant impact. And let's be honest, after two additional months of planning and the desperate need for something creative, is this the best MM could come up with? I'll get shouted down for being negative as usual, but I will be amazed if we sell more than 500 season tickets. Most people, including those that this offer is aimed at, will surely wait and see how the season begins.

For me, that's the most impressive part of the pricing - last season was too expensive for the 16-18 yr olds - this makes it much more affordable and hopefully should encourage some of the young lads back.

I'm not buying a season ticket so if the offer is discontinued then I'm looking at a price increase next season.

Has anyone else noticed that prices for the Harry Mac are loads more cheaper this season? This might be a big step towards having a full terrace next season.

Definitely, and helps me with my drive to improve the Harry Mac atmosphere as teenagers are what we need in the middle. This will be a massive help to entice them back.

I think this is a reasonable pricing list from the club, nothing too daring but I don't think anybody was expecting that.
Like the idea of a free U12 ticket with an adult, it gives us a chance of hooking the next generation of supporters. I'm going back to University for 12 months starting this September, so I cannot argue with £170 on the Harry Mac, that's the equivalent of £7.30 a game. Great value in all fairness.

With respect, isn't that down to you not buying a season ticket as opposed to the clubs pricing.. Impressed by the younger generation deals, hope it bears fruit for next season. It's still a mystery why we took so long to announce this, has the "big signing" fallen through or are we still waiting, who knows.

it's the same as last season rio They've changed the age brackets around. Last season it was £50 for u16 and £85 for 16-18. Now it's £50 for 12-1, so removing the next bracket of pricing. I was ready to pay £85 so it's a welcome bit of news that I'll only be paying £50.

It's great to see under 16 prices extended to 17-18 year olds, otherwise it's exactly the same.
Let's not kid ourselves about the under 12s ticket, it's not much of an initiative unless the parent forks out for a season ticket. Would have much preferred to see a £50 ticket with a club shirt.
Great if you're under 18/concession. Not so much if you're anything in between.

Happy enough with that. In reality unless the club was to gamble on a very low price/high sales pitch which given our relatively low fan base even when times are good is extremely unlikely to be fruitful, there was little room for change. Prices protected across the board and a real incentive for under 18's and juniors to attended regularly will hopefully be enough to at least stop the attendance decline and maybe improve the match day atmosphere. Time will tell.

Great news under 12s get a free season ticket but why have we drawn this out to a massive saga? If we put these prices out 6-7 weeks ago we may have sold a couple of hundred by now, who knows, instead we have waited over month since the last game of the season.
We were told by McGuire and Povey in feb details would be released early this season as we need a big push and want to be well prepared.
In the end we have released the details later than ever, most people have switched off football, gone or going holiday, doing other things, we have missed the boat.
Throw in the pathetic end to last season and rumblings about the manager and lack of work elsewhere we will be on for a record low of season tickets guranteed.
I see our friends down the road have constant updates on season tickets tweeted, they were on about 600 last week and that's with only a couple of signings made.
