Although, as pointed out by Matt Le God earlier in this thread, the 'Temporary' buildings that are to be in place to keep the place running while the new facilities are built, are up.
This more then implies that work is underway.
At various seemingly random times of every year, it is customary for the natives of Colden Common to perform a ceremonial dance while singing in an obscure dialect of olde english.
Proof that Bernie Ecclestone has lost the plot, even ignoring the fact this essentially validates using force to quiet the Bahraini population it also is deeply deeply unfair on all people who had scheduled to attend the first Indian Grand Prix. An utter disgrace.
I wonder, would a senior renewing over the phone will have their age checked?
I could see my Dad deciding not to renew based on the price rise he will be experiencing. £193 up to £380 in the Family enclosure. Very nearly a 100% price rise for those in that 60-65 grey area.
And therein lays the biggest tragedy. The Skates have overspent beyond even Plymouth Argyle's debt, there is no real comparison between the two, yet there is only one club of the two that really could cease to be.
That filth 17 miles to the east have got away with it.
As I found from looking, the pricing structure varies wildly from club to club. A direct comparison is tricky, hence why i've had to go for the conditions I mentioned.
Quick comparison with other clubs.
Adult tickets only. New purchase prices. If no direct equivalent, comparisons made on location.
----------------------Saints--------------------Coventry City------------------Derby County
Family enclosure-------£460------------------------£299 (No direct equivalent)-------£445 (No direct equivalent)
Behind Goal------------£540------------------------£299----------------------------£375
Half way line----------£595-------------------------£375----------------------------£480-£560
In conclusion, we are now quite expensive.
Looks brilliant, all I need now is a cheap smartphone. If these offers are still going a year from now there is no way i'm getting a new handset, just get a sim for my iPhone once the contract expires.
