Or reclaim our £250,000 from Central Premier League Pot (destined for Scudamore pockets) and give us membership for a Tenner. Club needs to return to the abacus.

I've never bought a guest ticket and don't intend to start now
I always thought it was much nicer in the championship.

No.
Well worth signing my son’s ST up to it, my daughter is a member only and the welcome pack is pretty good for the kids. It’s a yes in that regard from me.
What's in it? I'm still a no but it would be interesting to know what was in the kids' pack as my son seems to have pretty much every bit of Albion related tat going already. Lunchbox, squad photos, training-top-style tshirt, pen, gloves, key ring. And this is our Christmas tree right now:

Don't know if it's a problem, but it's what happened with me, too.
I thought maybe it would be instead if it was popular, but if this thread is anything to go by it won't be well received, so we'll have a regular price increase without any benefits.

Am I the only ST holder not to receive the email?
25,000 x £20, less 1/6 VAT = £417,000 extra annual income by stealth, in the guise of giving the s/t’s who are bothered an earlier chance to get additional tickets.
Our PL accounts might well show £140m of annual income, but no opportunity is lost in squeezing the pips out.

Let's be clear, the two things should be separate. The idea that STHs are NOT a member is ridiculous. Putting more money in than other supporters (apart from Tony
) and turning up regularly to support and yet not a member of the club you're helping to fund? Odd.However, take this gimmick out and we can discuss increases to season tickets across the board in a sensible manner. Would I pay a bit more if I knew it would go towards better players? Yes - "a bit" I would. And, with the demand for STs currently outstripping supply there's a perfectly decent economical argument that it could go up too. But it needs to be transparent. This isn't.
Making it so much harder for Bronze members to get tickets and a mass internet stampede on release day. Many bronze members are loyal fans who might be on the waiting list, or can’t make many games, or can’t afford s/t’s so pick n choose a few games a season.
This seems a blunt instrument to match the priorities of the mates of s/t holders, with those of long term bronze members.

I will reject it. Guests need to come lower down the priority order than fee-paying members.
I haven’t received it yet either

All of this, and Bronze members will be the supporters the club will be relying upon to fill empty seats if / when we drop back down into the Championship. If that happens, they will have to come and find me at Cambridge Utd as this is where I have decided to start taking my son as the whole Bronze thing suddenly doesn't seem worth it. I realise that this hasn't been implemented yet, but the club's thinking and direction of travel seems pretty clear.

Haven’t read the whole thread but I love this club and I’m well chuffed at where we are this season so yes, I’m happy to bung them another £20 a year for the membership pack jamboree and more importantly because they need the money and I want the good times to continue.

Don't worry, KG - next season the club will offer you (and me) the opportunity to gain priority again for the wholly reasonable price of £60.
I'm very concerned that three of you have posted essentially the same thing - presumably in jest but it is ringing very true.
To be honest I wonder what the value is in Bronze membership anyway - I missed the window for the Arsenal game, there were still tickets down in SE and SW when I eventually looked but decided to wait for the ticket exchange and got two perfect seats in the front row of W1G - and had choices all over the ground.
I will keep paying for my Bronze membership as it makes me feel connected to the club and I want to be a member - its my little gesture of solidarity. But if they pull any of these kind of shenanigans I'll cancel it and it probably won't make any difference for ticket availability.
With this STH offer they would be both undercutting and devaluing our bronze membership, is this really what they want to do?

First Barber withdraws £2 per match travel subsidy from Seagull Travel coach travel costing and extra £38 per year now he wants to screw me for another £20.

Stealth increase hoping people won't realise they have to opt out. leaves a bad taste in the mouth along with the loss of seagulls travel discount
