yeah, it's a terrible idea poorly executed

I get the feeling the club has been caught a little by surprise by the strength of the backlash from supporters groups and away fans.

Which, even if it's too late for now, might at least give them pause for thought before trying to pull some bulls**t like this again.

- 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
