It’s notAbsolutely spot on, people always find the money.
The poor old Teesside argument is a load of rubbish in my opinion.

I do agree why is it all secret service why can they not make public the minutes it's so annoyingOnce again the cloak and dagger stuff from the club. Why can’t what was discussed be in the public domain?
They wouldn’t. I wouldn’t, I couldn’t. More worthy priorities.Beer and food and it would be close to half a season ticket price, but they’d all have paid it
That's the thing they knocked 4 quid off the u18 walk ups then the adult prices probaly go up by more than 4 quidToken gesture from the club in my opinion. It's simply not enough. This was the easiest concession for Gibson and the club to make, and I'm surprised these fan groups have lapped it up.
How many kids walk ups do we actually have? For every kid there is still an adult walk up paying north of £30. Did the meeting discuss the extortionate adult walk ups? Did the meeting discuss why our season tickets are so expensive? What about the ridiculous increase for new ST holders. Did they discuss the finance option?
I remember at primary school in the early 80s there were 3 Boro fans(maybe those daft enough to admit it) in my year. I remember this because we couldn’t enter a team in the 5 a side games in the yard which was teams based on who you supported. We had to borrow a couple of non-Boro supporting players.I don't know where you live or were brought up... but assuming from Middlesbrough ask your self this.
How many kids in your school didn't support Boro?
Then go to Middlesbrough Sports Village on any midweek night and look across all the kids training pitches and count up how many Boro shirts you see.
If you've got kids or friends with kids, ask them who everyone supports in their class.

They seem to have pretty much a stadium wide price which makes them expensive at entry level behind the goals but are cheaper down the sides of the pitch.
Just step 1 from RF I believe. If no further concessions are made the protests will resume.Token gesture from the club in my opinion. It's simply not enough. This was the easiest concession for Gibson and the club to make, and I'm surprised these fan groups have lapped it up.

Then there's the terrible commercial side of the club, it really is shockingly bad. Then there's the quality of the food and drink on offer. And the state of the stadium and surrounding areas...
That's the thing same with season ticket price freeze for u18 they will be going with their parent most likely who will be buying at an increased price so the cost is still going up for the payer. So some will still decide against as their adult price has gone upLast season it would cost me £50 (+ booking fees) to take me and my lad in the North Stand.
Now it's going to be iro £50 once adult walk up increases are announced......
Call me a cynical sausage but I don't think this will attract hundreds of new fans?
Well done to RF though
Yeah we had Liverpool, Man U, Leeds mainlyMe too, I went to primary school in Acklam in the early 80's and remember everyone was a "Liverpool fan" until we started doing well and then all of a sudden you'd see them at Ayresome park and then The Riverside.
