What do people think about the new membership scheme?
As a season ticket holder, I am automatically classed as a member but to get a ticket for the Stockport FA Cup game, I have to become a member. Something not quite right there.
As a positive, I assume it is intended to weed out the yobs who lobbed stuff onto the pitch against Wigan and if it can do this, then good.
B U T
how do the occasional, Saturday morning type of fans – who decide to go to the match on the morning of the game – get to the match? There is to be no more “pay at the turnstile” option for them and there must be a sizable number who will be prevented from attending.
I also can’t see any benefit at all for all the thousands who will be forced into membership – no discounts, still disgraceful booking fees when buying tickets so what do I get for making the effort?
Can I still buy additional tickets for family members who want to come to the match with me?
As I say, positives and negatives but the occasional fan is being punished and therefore I would expect our attendances to fall slightly as a result.
