The post mentioned people not having enough money to attend that’s not a problem for a season ticket holders. No idea how much they should be reduced by that’s up to the club to decide. Maybe a mini season ticket who knows

Is this a serious post the Club lost thousands of pounds when the Gillingham game was postponed and again on Saturday against Bradford this is the last thing the Club needs at this time, the 2 rearrange games are midweek when gates are usually lower so less income for the Club the rest are on original dates, will people also want reduced prices on beer and food, end of the day if people can't afford the rearrange games then so be it.

So you’d rather people not come all together cos they can’t afford 20 quid 5 times in a month? Even more if you’re going as a family. Great attitude

The Club are not in a position to offer discounted prices what don't you understand, you will be wanting reduced prices for any home playoff game(if we have one).

I don’t myself want discounted prices I have a season ticket. Was just a thought at trying to get as many people in the ground as possible when times are hard for people 20 quid 5 times in a month is a lot for most people

OK see your point maybe all the Players and staff will take a drop in money for all these home games so the Club can reduce prices for non season ticket holders.

£20 five times in a month is a lot for most people I agree. Im sure the attendance figures over the month will reflect that. Not everyone will be able to afford it but on the other hand I don't expect or want the club to do any discounted ticket offers

The Club do a really fantastic early bird offer on season tickets last season I think eventually the club sold around 1200 tickets for all ages which isn't to bad for our average home attendance, our budget is based on 23 home league games any cup revenue is extra, if the Club could attract 2,000 season tickets it really would help, unfortunately postponed games cost the Club a lot of money so I understand the Club are reluctant to reduce prices when the games are rearranged.

I’m sure those marketing the club will be weighing up all options regarding the financial burden placed on fans during this glut of homes games.

The club have been very good with promotions in the past, I don’t think they will offer anything for our next Two home games but results and finances permitting maybe line up some kind of promo for the next glut of Three.

Either way our Team and Club need us right behind them in our droves, let’s make some money and noise for the Bluebirds.

I agree a lot of home games in a short period of time is expensive; but people will find the money if we are winning. If we get back to a good run of results crowds will be fine

I agree it's swings and roundabouts, people also working shifts etc will also miss games, we are now building up a decent fan base!

Have the Club received any response from our complaint over the Bradford postponement or did it go straight into the bin or has it made Referrers to inspect the problem area and find reasons to call off games.
