All I’m saying is like City fans and many other fans of clubs, there are many of us who will support our beloved club whether results are always good or the prices increase! In the early days we struggled to find the money for season tickets so decided to forgo an annual holiday!
Like everything it’s all about priorities and Tigers, I think, have been very fair with their pricing.
Unfortunately Ian you can be demeaning in your posts, I go to this ground, I’m mates with that groundsman.
Some fans including myself may prefer to watch the games on tv. Others may have medical reasons why they can’t attend, or geographic ones
In the current economic climate there are people who have to choose which bills they pay in order to keep their home or put food on the table. If that has passed you by then you are very fortunate.
It does not mean that Tigers is any less in their blood than yours
Probably a yes from me but Mrs Daktari ,as a more casual fan, it will be a 'no'. it is quite a leap and mixed with turning up at least an hour before hand so she can see has pushed her out

I guess it is a tough call from the club and the supporters. The fans seem to be pushing for us to be competitive and spend up to the salary cap but also like that we are not owned by a sugar daddy. The club, on the other hand, cannot keep losing a million quid plus per season and so, quite simply, in our position, if we want to spend, ticket prices are going to go up as that is where our money comes from.
It is a tough call to make a time when people of struggling but I suppose the alternative would be to spend under the cap which, in turn, could start seeing the departure of our existing big names as well as an issue in recruitment.
Sadly this was not only inevitable, it was necessary.
Looking on here and on social media, as a terrace dweller it appears I have been a lucky one with a 23% increase!!
I expected the worst following the email from Andrea with the list of excuses before the announcement which was good communication but followed swiftly by the poor communication of not contacting season ticket holders before the general announcement on social media.
I have just emailed the club to cancel my women's season ticket for the new season. Although I've not been able to attend the women's games this season I felt I could still support them by opting in for the ticket this season but with the increase on the men's I can't afford both. I'm sure I won't be the only one in this situation so the women's team will be the one that suffers.
Will be interesting to see the retention figures at the end of the early bird window.
