I'm sure the club have looked at the numbers and concluded 'crikey, we've cocked up here'. Disappointed that they've not addressed it with the fans. A couple of weeks ago they could have amended the prices and refunded those who had bought tickets via their season cards. They're now stuck with a sub 30k crowd. Pity.
