Steve Gibson's fmttm Q and A - Thursday

Fair play to Gibson for agreeing to this. It's nice to see him engaging with the supporters and it is long overdue.

I can't disagree with posters who think he is rinsing the fans. It's not a nice way of putting it but when you see what other clubs are charging, particularly for kids, it does leave a bitter taste. Hopefully there will be a few questions regarding our pricing structure and we can hear what he has to say on the matter.

I'm tempted to ask why we don't categorise the junior pricing, rather than having one category for juniors (U18's).
 
I have a few questions in mind. Not sure which one I'll ask if I manage to get hold of the mic.

I'm assuming we'll be able to write down more than one question, even though they won't all be read out?
Firstly I will have to remember to bring paper. You remember the pen - and I will remember the paper.

Categorising juniors is something that makes sense as a concept but when you actually think about it then I'm not sure it does. Juniors don't pay for their tickets, an adult pays for them. A 5, 9 or 12 year old are contributing the same amount to the price of a ticket. You could argue that teenagers could contribute because they can start working a paper round or part-time etc but not massively. I would say categories for U16, 16-18, 18-21 makes the most sense. You wouldn't want kids to stop going at teenage age because the prices became too much for them.
