On a tour of the ground we were told that there are 2500 match day stewards
A 10% reduction is a significant sum of money by your calculation

Not just for home games, collect pre-ordered tickets for away games. It may be small but it's a case of saving across the board.
Easy, do away with all concessionary tickets, young, elderly,students etc.. Make it a fixed price for all sections of the ground, bring the prices upto the level of those of us that are
subsidizing the rest of you, and then you can all be in our club 1901..

Brighton gateline is about to be doubled in size, Falmer is quite secure so people will just have to be aware it takes longer to enter/exit stations like they do on the tube in the rush hour

Wow. Did I inadvertently stumble onto a Tory forum?
All these suggestions seem to be "make people unemployed to save a few perecent of our net loss" or "bloody scroungers, everyone should just be as rich as me and pay more because I can afford it and I can't comprehend that some people have less money or more outgoings than me"
How about we get ourselves a chairman that is vastly experienced in both gambling and investments. You know, one that knows how to assess a risk. Perhaps from high stakes poker or from building multiple multi million pound businesses. Someone like that would surely be able to sort out our debts. I mean, if we DIDN'T have someone like that at the help, I imagine we'd need at least 3 threads on NSC debating pretty much the same damn thing.

Once you give perks to fans it hard to take them away our problem is the costs of stewarding and hiring the park and ride also the stewards do replace the high Police costs. I thing we need to keep improving on the field build our fan base and win back the fans which may spend money outside the ground maybe introduce food wagons outside which add to the fan experience when arriving. Just a few suggestion oh sort the milk out for the teas that really annoys me.

Maybe offer the option to voluntarily opt-out of all or part of the travel zone, or have a range of travel zone options. Large numbers of fans who commute already have rail season tickets that cover part of the travel zone route e.g. Haywards Heath to Brighton, so would only really have need of cover for the Brighton to Falmer travel zone. Worth a try?

Good idea that. People from East of Lewes have to pay for a ticket to Lewes anyway and its only about 70p more to Falmer so it would be cheaper for them to not use it.
Then you have the couple of thousand who pay for a parking space who dont need it. Reckon about 5k would opt out myself, which would save the club a fair bit.
Would need to have new STs for those who remain in it though so people dont try and rip the system off. Would also have to be compulsory for match-by-match tickets.

North East Stand.
A lot of stewards are from agency's which cost a lot more.

That's basically what was tried last season and blatantly didn't work. As has been said throughout this thread, that would mean someone taking responsibility for checking tickets, and nobody is incentivised to do so.

Hahaha neither the match day or day to day car parking stewards are paid £10 an hour!! I know it is at MOST £8 or on match days more if you are a supervisor or stand manager. And believe it or not the day to day ones are there for customer service, they had the choice of putting in signs but chose people because they wanted a more friendly approach. The guy who is in the gatehouse is as you come into the site is stadium security not a steward.
There are around 250-300 stewards who work inside the stadium on match days and another 150 who work at various locations outside the stadium with whom are out sauced (costing more depending on the company)..... So the quote of 2500 stewards is outrageous !!

Instead of having two people holding signs for S bus or R bus, how about put a proper sign up.
