2014/14 season tickets now on sale at same prices......
Excepting that concessions for seniors have had the goal posts moved - now have to be 65+ instead of over 60
That's an extra £60 or a 43% increase, for persons on restricted income.

IMUSC membership remains the same price as last year, as does the the age for a senior concession

Whilst 65 is the norm in most areas of life, I believe this a poor decision by the club.
Most clubs at our level tend to set the line at 60.
I'm also not sure how much the club will gain from this £3 hike?
Many of this group of supporters were probably the ones that kept the club alive during the wilderness years!
Sorry but I think this is a cheap shot!
And no I don't qualify and even if I did I could afford it but some can't!

Very disappointing to read this given the response when the idea was mooted 6 months ago.

The supporters club committee was asked about this 6 months ago,
The response to the club was that it wouldn't be supported and that it would hurt a very small and loyal section of our support!
I'm gutted that the club decided to make this decision and not advise the imusc that had a very recent meeting with the club!

Will upset a few but the main entry fee hsdn't risen since we have been home. I dont see it as unreasonable to charge the same fee to those of non retirement age as everyone else.
Perhaps you have had it too good for too long?
Most of this age group will have normally low to non existent mortgages and the kids will usually have flown the nest. Seems they can afford it more than the younger ones to me

Its more so that most clubs have there concession rate set at 60+
So have we for as long as i can remember & now there upping it to 65+ just so they can make a bit of extra money
Its all well & good saying prices haven't gone up....yet people who have been paying concession rate for the last couple of years have now suddenly gotta pay an extra 60 quid

Don't forget, we DO need to make a profit Then maybe we should stop paying transfer fees for players. I don't see the need for that at our level |
