not sure about that analogy

AST are committing to paying £40 plus £570 for a season of away tickets. Away members are paying £50 and can then pick and choose their games (depending on the availability).

I think a £10 discount for those who are committing so much more money to support the club is more than fair. Just as it is with home season ticket holders.

  - do it by revolving alphabetical order so everyone gets dibbs (NCFC) - Tombs, Jun 20, 13:53:59
- Not really a climbdown - just looking after a small group (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 20, 13:36:06
  - They still have to pay the £50 (n/m) (NCFC) - s10 yellow, Jun 20, 13:36:40
    - whatever it is, this adjustment really just addresses that small group (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 20, 14:51:17
      - Exactly (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 20, 14:57:27
        
        and the idea that after this coming season that extra special window group would be merged (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 20, 15:06:58
    - £40 - discount of £10 for previous members of the scheme. (NCFC) - canary_wharf, Jun 20, 13:50:10
    - Did Away STH have to pay an up front amount last season to guarantee their tickets? (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:43:38
      - Home STH pay less for tickets than members. So the same (NCFC) - canary_wharf, Jun 20, 14:46:43
      - isn't that the same difference as between home season ticket holders and members (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 20, 13:47:29
        
        Maybe, not sure (n/m) (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:59:31
      - Don't think so? (NCFC) - conker, Jun 20, 13:45:47
        
        or I could be very wrong, which wouldn't be unheard of (n/m) (NCFC) - conker, Jun 20, 13:46:22
      - Yes. £30. They are now paying £40 I believe as they get a £10 discount (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:44:38
        
        Mad, surely it should be the £30 in addition to the £40/£50? (n/m) (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:46:00
        
        I son;t think anyone should be paying the £50 but yes it does seem wrong (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:47:56
        
        Why is it wrong? It's no different than the situation with home ST holders (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 20, 13:50:04
        
        Because they were paying a premium for a service, namely (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:53:21
        
        I don't really see the difference between home and away ST holders in this respect (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 20, 13:59:22
        
        It’s not really the focus I agree but surely a better analogy would be (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 14:03:13
        
        not sure about that analogy (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 20, 14:08:24
        
        There are arguments both ways. Regardless the whole thing has been a shambles (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 14:12:03
        
        yeah, it's a terrible idea poorly executed (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jun 20, 14:16:28
        
        Even if they were paying the same it would be wrong. (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:49:54
        
        dont (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:48:11
- Do you mean for AST holders or for everyone? (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:32:30
  - If the former then I'm not sure thats actually a very fair adjustment (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:34:59
    - ah not so good then (NCFC) - Tombs, Jun 20, 13:37:31
- Is this referring to away season ticket holders? (n/m) (NCFC) - Duck, Jun 20, 13:32:15
- "Away ticket scheme now going to be the same as previous years." (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:32:08
  - true but they can now engage with a broad cross section of the support and work with them (NCFC) - Tombs, Jun 20, 13:35:23
  - Ah, is this Away STH only? (n/m) (NCFC) - 702, Jun 20, 13:33:10
- Where have you read this, please? (n/m) (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Jun 20, 13:32:04
  - On the letter from the club received this morning: (NCFC) - canary_wharf, Jun 20, 13:36:36
    - Ah right, cheers. (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Jun 20, 13:41:32
      - Yes closed shop and whereas last season AST holders paid an extra (NCFC) - Jim, Jun 20, 13:43:01
        
        does their £30 (now £40) cover booking fees and postage? (NCFC) - s10 yellow, Jun 20, 14:13:27
    - Right, so the only change is that (NCFC) - duke of york, Jun 20, 13:41:23
- fair play (NCFC) - Tombs, Jun 20, 13:28:38
