Isn't Portman Road one of the most expensive in the league for this very thing ? I think a lot depends how the team does for the remainder of the season. And if McCarthy decides to stay on during the close season.

If by some miracle we can obtain a premier league place by May then guessing there'll be a lot more demand for season tickets, whereas if the current trend were to continue and the club ends in mid-table for instance, there won't be that same enthusiasm. Or as the other put it, if they're not willing to buy, then it's their decision - and it's their cash.

Holy Shyte. I thought you guys were about a grand for a ST. That's cheaper than Hibs! And we play really sh*t football. I'm moving to "So F**K".

'Suppose it all depends on how much you can afford to spend - or in so many other words, how big your bank account is.

It is cheap Andy and since ME came to the club and adopted thes inflated prices he has frozen them nearly every season, there comes a point when you cant keep doing it.

You're absolutely right SJ, but affordability and value are two very different measures and for someone unfortunate who hasn't got much money to spare everything is expensive even if it's good value.

But getting back to our season tickets, for someone who wants to go to every home game our prices look very reasonable these days.

Sorry Disco, I know you haven't posted for ages, but that's bullshit. Economy, jobs, spare cash all come before "being loyal" to a football club.

Yep loyalty is not an issue here, it is about if you are happy with the cost you are being asked to pay and if you can realistically afford it, if you arent or can't dont buy one.
