So... Pay the same price as a family membership plus early bird ST, get none of the extra benefits? Hmm, well, it's a start, I guess.

The feeling's bloody mutual!

If that's what they're doing (not saying I doubt you chief!) then it is a bit daft, really.

looks like the Stalinists have arrived. The clunking fists of the shed.
My point is that it makes no difference if the club has offered to pay supporters to attend and if they gave away butties and beer, someone would find fault. So far we have had every reason not to attend from selling our best player (sic) to young single persons being discriminated against "including grannies being subsidised

).
Compare Sale Sharks - season tickets range from "value" at £199 to "Platinum" at £700. I will compare to the round ball game as they charge fantastic prices with little promise of as much excitement as at any Rugby game. OK Rochdale FC charges less - but the club is teetering on the edge of ruin as they cannot attract the fans. Hardly SUPER League.
We also have the sponsors reducing their financial support. Yet we expect improvement - players and games cost money. Like any business, prices go up.
Whatever the club do, too many see it in negative ways; that's not criticism but whingeing.
You really don't grasp the argument being put forward, do you? Do me a favour, read, re-read and re-read again what many of us have put. It's not whingeing, not at all. Why do you have to accuse anyone who doesn't toe the party line of this?
It's good to see the club making an effort and I applaud them for that, I truly do, but it could have been implemented a hell of a lot better than it has been.

There should be individual prices for adults/kids rather than grouping everyone under the family banner. How many cars do you see driving down Weaste Lane with the 'perfect' family of 2 adults/2 kids all wearing their free away shirt? Not many. Individual pricing for the membership would give people more flexibility. If for example 3 adults who attend games together want to take up this membership they have to take out 2 family memberships at £50 each. Why?
Now that you've seen the point I was making originally

you're bob on. That's the main issue people have with this. Although, with needing a kid on the membership, you'd have to find one from somewhere to get on. Looks like you'll have to put your mum on the form as well!
