Living costs have gone up. I'm surprised that the prices haven't increased by more. Heaven forbid the players should need to dip in to their savings to up their brand of pasta and chicken.

Your own comment said the increase to £50 was to cover the club's costs. If so, it's not a subsidy.
What about the drivers, walkers, cyclists, short-distance travellers ? Subsidy for them ?

Who's Next?
The club is subsidising the travel costs. The new figure won't cover the travel costs in full - nothing like.
The fans - all of them - are making a contribution towards something that the club has an obligation for.

The club will try and move you to the NS for the same price point. There are already a few vacant seats where STH's have been excluded

North East Stand.
Seems fair and no complaints this end.
It cost £6.30 return from Haywards Heath to Falmer per game over the season it adds up to £144 so the transport cost is cheap from our point of view, the use of public transport was key to us getting the stadium so we are stuck with it for the for see able future but it is good value. I am fully aware that we don't all use it, I pay for coach travel from Horsham so the subsidy has no benefit for me but it is a price we had to pay for the Amex. I am not happy to pay more for my ticket but I am content that the increase is not taking the piss eventually I believe the transport subsidy will disappear but not in the next few years.

My guesstimate is that the club will still be paying 50% or more to cover the shortfall.

Blimey, it looks like I'll be able to afford to go next season after all! Great stuff.

The club are not paying £144 for somebody that does this journey. Unless we can get hold of the cost per head that the club pays to the travel companies, difficult to compare with the 'subsidy.'
This is a significant little change. FS concession up to 18, rather than 16. Good - an additional two years before we'll need to move.

Well the DD is only going up one and a bit quid so I can live with that.

The transport subsidy will go eventually and then fans will be moaning how expensive it is to get to Falmer. In the future m-ticketing , smartcard and contactless technology will be needed for rail travel , buses and P&R but that will be a while off.

Fair I guess, but only just, any more and they would be pushing it. Certainly wouldn't be happy with a similar increase this time next year.
However, cracking down on people selling on their tickets is my biggest gripe, since it has resulted in me losing a lot of money this season due to work commitments.
