Now we're back in the championship , how long will it be before we see a rise in the cost of membership/match day tickets, not being negative, just a honest question.
I can't see there being a significant rise in either.Bums back on seats should be the priority and a rise in membership or match ticket cost would be off putting for some?
I see no merit whatsoever in amending prices, especially when in the first half of the season a restriction on numbers attending will be in place due to continuing covid-19 management. Ehabs got a great opportunity to leave alone and further build his standing with supporters, or commit what would not be his first PR own goal!
I don't know to what extent the wage bill will increase but it needs funding somehow, I'd be surprised if there was no increase in prices. How it's implemented is another question. Increase subs or match day tickets? One and not the other? A little or a lot? Half-time beer to go up? Don't know.
If things don't go pear shaped, the plan is to have unrestricted numbers from the start of next season.
More an aspiration with caveats as of today subject to the governments statement on further opening up the economy scheduled for 21 June. I'm hoping Trevor Birchs optimism does indeed come to fruition and it's all go for August
