The food and drink cost for myself and son is £15/20 per game for afternoon games - £10 for evening games. If my season long bill increases by £11 I'll be delighted.

Don't use it then. Simple as that.
Jesus H Christ. Some people are really only happy when they are moaning about something.

Fair point. I know some elderly people who use the service for this very reason.

Sounds like old person prices have come down, and the rest are paying for that.
£11 a year, meh! Less than my bus tickets used to change by each year totalled up when working in UK. Just one of those things. Wonder if your pay at work will go up by £11 or more this year too? I remember when Mars bars were 25p.

I vote to make the beer a fiver a pint, after all "it's only 80p" and it's well under 30%

That's funny as there was an OAP discount this season and last season
If you are spending £15 a match on food and drink and they put it up by 30% then it's an extra £80. How about putting ST prices up by 30% at the same time, after all it's supply and demand and you don't have to pay it?
However people on here spin it, a 30% increase IS a disgrace.
Would either cost me max £2-3 a game, or I'd choose not to have one. No drama either way. Easier for the cashiers too as some appear unable to work out 3 x £4.20 and then the change from a £20. Win/win.

Assuming Seagull Travel season ticket prices are reviewed at a similar time to those for the football itself (early in the calendar year), the cost of Diesel alone has risen considerably over the past 12 months:
Jan 2016 2017
102.8 121.1 (+18%)
Feb 2016 2017
101.1 122.3 (+21%)
Mar 2016 2017
103.2 121.3 (+18%)
So, that alone has increased considerably.

A better option would 5 pints for a score, to get them all in I'd have to leave my seat on 41 mins and not return until 49.
Imagine if people did that

That is of course assuming coach prices went down as fuel costs went down comparing 2015 to 2016

Well, that assumes prices remaining stable over a longer period, as we know they tend to creep up anyway. I take your point though.

In the product description it says:
** NEW FOR 2017/2018 Season - Introduction of an OAP Rate (Just for travel season ticket holders) **

I don't think there was. Maybe on season tickets but certainly not on one off tickets. I only use ST for evening games as getting back to St Leonard's on the rattler afterwards is a hassle. Saturday games the train is fine as I stay behind for a beer or two but you cant do that with the coach
EDIT:Just seen Jem's post above, looks like no old farts price for me next season.
Haven't read all the posts but surely from Shoreham the train would be better. Price included in ST.
Well, it's actually £1.81 a game difference from this season.
