Starting a comment by telling someone what to do isn’t a good look. It certainly doesn’t incentivise me to do as you’ve asked.

I don’t actually think the subsidy is much to be honest. It’s only a couple of pounds a game, although that’s just the subsidy. Any coach price increases could see it go up higher. Obviously, if you add ticket price increases, it could easily be £50-100 more expensive to see the Albion for some...

It was only to clarify that there was a clear subsidy area for travel and an area outside of that i.e. one group who had their subsidy cut, and one group that hasn't. I appreciate it's a fairly big area.

Your first point is a matter of opinion. We disagree on that. But I respect your right to an opinion. As to your second point, of course he's going to say that publicly. It would be nonsensical to discuss it in public due to the potential fan backlash and PR nosedive that would inevitably...

What bit are you struggling with? THE COACHES SUBSIDY IS STOPPING - this is a fact. There was a meeting a couple of weeks ago where the coach companies were told this by the club. It has been confirmed. So for all of us that get a coach to the ground from outside of the Brighton travel subsidy...

You struggle with comprehension, don't you.

No I haven't. I've taken the decision to tell everyone that the coaches' subsidy is stopping. That is a fact. As I stated, it's rumoured from meetings that the subsidy elsewhere i.e. for train travel, is likely to stop. That isn't a fact, it's a rumour based on conversations had at meetings...

Well he would think that. It's his decision to impact fans. But which bit do you think is nonsense?

But for how long?

Well that's the biggest kick in the balls element of it all. We already pay more to see games as we have to pay for the extra travel. We also pay higher ST prices in order to allow for the subsidised travel for everyone else. What things means in reality is either that more people will go and...

It's all coaches/buses that arrive at the ground from outside of the immediate train travel zone. At least that's the case for next season. It's likely to be that subsidy for all is stopped soon after.

No, it's for those that get buses/coaches to the ground due to us living too far out. We already pay for the travel, but apparently the club part subsidised this up to this point, albeit not by much, as it was a part of their contractual agreement in building the stadium. This agreement term is...

It is, yes.

Last week. They've not yet done it for those within the Brighton band, but it looks likely to happen within the next year or so. For me personally, it means I'm penalised twice as I'm also paying a higher ST price so that the club can subsidise travel for those closest to the stadium... which...

Totally agree. Especially as the club've taken away the subsidies for fans' travel for fans outside of the Brighton area making it even more expensive for us lot to travel to games. For me this seems totally in bad taste and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Especially as we haven't exactly been...
