Dewsbury when relegated in 2007/8 offered the lowest priced season ticket prices in NL1 for 2008/9 were cheaper at the turnstile and have bounced back this season with an increased following. So who's right?
Watched my first Dons game in 1961 and been one of the faithfull ever since but will probably go to more away games and less at home especially as there are several grounds nearer to me than Keepafloat who will be charging less for senior's .
You pays your money and takes your pick.

Pensioners are in general better off at the moment than most people working.

Under cutting yourselves on the kids price Carl

Comeon Marshland stop winding people up & give us your views as asked in a previous posting in this thread.

Todays pensioners are better off than any previous generation and are better off than future generations will be. The taxes being paid by the workers now are paying todays pensions. I appreciate they have paid their dues over the years but i do not think what the club is asking for a season ticket is over the top considering it as a one off payment which lasts you all of the year.

Its the % increase thats the problem I think for both season ticket & match day prices.

Incidentally, I have just had a scan of some club sites from all the divisions including Superleague..........a lot have not posted their 2010 prices yet....but on the ones that have, there is a clear pattern irrespective of how high or low the cost is....and that pattern is that at the gate the senior price is about two thirds of the adult price. So irrespective of unemployment and the relative incomes of people......that lot (other clubs) have got it wrong and Donny have got it right then? Well all I can say is thank goodness throughout the leagues in general COMMON SENSE prevails....and that an historical concession still remains for folk that have put thousands of pounds over the years into rugby league and are being rewarded.

Fact to back this up please--

Had you said pensioners are in general better off a the moment than most unemployed people i would have tendered to agree with you.

But working people no way.

Don't let him sidetrack you into a separate issue.
Unemployment, poor pensioners, rich pensioners on company pensions are to be found everywhere.....Donny is in no way a special case.....although I would propose that we have a fair share of poorish state-only pensioners with top up benefits.
The point is that most other clubs recognise the concession and preserve it.
Donny is swimming against the tide and it is not justified.
And if they persist it won't be forgotten....and I for one will seriously consider not going to home games, instead just some away games..
And it is not that I can't afford it......it's the same principle that stops me buying beer at the Keepmoat when I know I am being ripped off.

Cue someone accusng me of moaning in another attempt at deflection.
Anyway...I will say NO MORE about this!!!!
