Maybe they put the prices up to discourage people from drinking more, just in case they get on top of phone boxes and start singing? *winky face*

Long line of new ones?

Go on then, away from the playing side, which we all know is bloody awful at the moment, what else has the club done to stoop to new lows?

When I started my supporters club in 2007 the club and supporters were so close, we felt valued. Over the last four years the gulf has become huge, and things like this just make it widen more.

There is basically 'no need' for the fans really any more financially, so I get the feeling that the club aren't upset at all if the crowds dwindle.

The increase of booking fees, the reduction in supporter club away allocation, the way the club used the allocated grant for away fans (most of it still undisclosed) are all in this line of lows.

I love this club, and I think the fans are the most important thing of any club.

It's a pity they dont see it that way

In other words, you're a unhappy Lions Club (or maybe ex) chairman with an axe to grind.

I'd say the way they stitched up the Supporters' Clubs this season is scandalous. I'm glad I don't run one, after what I've been told, because I'd have given it up straight away.

This free away shirt campaign once you've borrowed £200 onto a credit card leaves a nasty Wonga like taste in the mouth.
The club are just out to rinse the fans of every Penny.

Of course it's not Dave but it's dangling a rather unsavoury carrott.

Use their credit card instead of the other half dozen you've got and they give you something. How disgraceful.

Well that's one way of looking at it. I was at polar opposite view , hello young man you need an away shirt and your first credit card.

I really don't think anyone needs to be sold on the idea of their first card now.
