In reply to Dan it looks like my post has entertained you.......and you didn't have to pay extra !:D Like you said earlier we've all got an opinion. You obviously think yours is the important one. Don't get personal.

Let's be realistic please. Messrs Sullivan & Pass have put in a lot of time, effort & money into the club to help it progress but we can't expect them to do and pay for everything.
A £2 increase in the admission is only 5-6% when annualised over four years which is line with underlying inflation (measured the old way not Gordon Brown's new way). An extra £2 a couple of doxzen times a year will not break the bank and students / pensioners who might have less money get the concessionary admission.
Paying a small premium to sit down is hardly unreasonable, in other businesses (planes, trains, cinemas, theatres, hotels) people have to pay a huge premium to receive greater comfort so why should football be different. Also we don't know what the exact plans are, it may be that pensioners and people with medical problems will continue to be allowed to sit for free.
But if you are really worried about the extra £2 you could try not drinking 2/3 of a pint of beer, or not smoking 1/3 of a packet of fags, or not eating half a sandwich, or not getting a bus from the station to the castle, or not parking your car for a couple of hours to raise the money.
If you want things to get better then you should expect to pay for it as well.

I agree 100% sizeable h. Pensioners and people with disabilities get a sizeable (pardon the pun) entry discount anyway so if they want to or need to sit they have already been compensated. It's maybe not an ideal system but at least it shows the club are thinking of those people.

in truth i really dont care about the seating price, i dont sit, i cant see why people are whinging allready, Nick and Gary are not sadist cripple-haters, they will take into consideration the needs of any fan that comes to longmead with a disability, i would imagine the easiest way would be to give the steward his 'own disecretion' to allow people who he feels would medically benefit from seating to allow without charge.
Mike, i also think posting this infromation, whilst your ethos was correct in keeping us peasent fans up-to date-and i thank you for that, was a tad pre-mature,
as regards to the entrance fee being increased, i know that the money would go to the club, so i dont really care that its gone up a couple of quid. I usually just buy a proramme anyway so i dont have the coins, or just get a burger at half time.
there ya go. ive said my bit, quite measured for my usual drabble i think
