Is Project 6000 and sustainability in L1 compatible with selling our "Gems"?

[Boyo]

I can see the logic in that.
What doesn't work for me with this is that it's a refund irrespective of whether that particular ticket is resold.
It's particularly hard to track as regards to Big Bank tickets which is why I suggest a one-off calculation at season's end.

Yes, I take your point about the issue of returned tickets going unsold. Reflecting on the current season however, I'm very confident that a scheme similar to what I describe would have generated significant income for the club (particularly when a £2.50 child credit for a seat can be re-sold for £28) and increased the actual number of people inside the ground. Of course, should future demand fall, then there's a risk that returned tickets go unsold. However, given the credit should be in the form of vouchers to be spent within the club, the risk feels low to me.

Love the way people get all prickly when price rises are mentioned! Council tax, fuel, transport just about everything goes up each year with little comment. Ask for a couple of quid a match to keep the club on line with inflation and people huff, puff and grumble like Parisian whores on a slow night.

What do you mean ‘with little comment’. People will discuss football prices on a football forum, it’s unlikely there’ll be much of a discussion on council tax etc. it’s quite funny how you continually invent situations to justify your views.

Council tax, fuel, my rent etc are a necessity. A season ticket at the football isn't. If prices went up, or my situation changed, a season ticket at the football would be first to go.

That's me doing my famous impression of a post.

Noticed that there was almost the exact number of home fans for Charlton and Oxford 6865 and 6864, who was the one that was missing?

Home - average

Total - average
156,390 - 6,799

Away - average
13,425 - 583

Hope Tom doesn't mind I've taken the liberty of adding last seasons corresponding figures
Home - average Last Season
142,965 - 6,215 143,092 - 6,221

Total - average Last Season
156,390 - 6,799 157,456 - 6,846

Away - average Last Season
13,425 - 583 14,364 - 625

So the average number of home fans actually fell by 6 this season. I wonder who the "quitters" were?

When it comes to travelling Grecians our own away followings were as follows:
This Season Last Season
13,373 - - 581 17,164 - 746
So quite a drop there. As well as loss of "novelty" factor - and the departure of two of our nearer rivals - this year I wonder how much of this was also due to increasing travel costs and frequent disruptions to rail travel this year?
