With the new pitch the new stand and the increase in the playing budget a ninth pound rise is a bloody good deal. To guarantee entrances despite a reduced capacity at a higher level with two extra games in my opinion is a bargain.

Just to clarify - The Stones have enjoyed a meteoric rise and given the investment of the owners the rise in price is justified and for me as a Stones fan one I am happy to pay. The point is with regard to casual supporters. I agree with Nick that we are now at a level which is probably acceptable to the casual supporter however it may put some off and it probably is at a limit point for those supporters.
This is in no way a criticism of the owners or the way the club is run they have performed nothing short of a miracle.

As i said before it might have appeared that season ticket sales were slower, but probably started selling a little later this year, anyway the next 250 have gone quickly as we are now at 750 per main site

going by last years sales, when we hit our 1000th ST sale on the 25th of july ; www.maidstoneunited.co.uk/2015/07/25/ i'd say sales this year are going incredibly well. 750 and it's still only the 4th of june. i can see the 1000 mark being easily surpassed this year, and maybe 1400 - 1500 going. on another note, there's an interesting thread here about season tickets in the conference prem; onefootballforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/season-tickets-matchday-prices-2016-17.10596/lots of clubs boosting sales with early bird deals there, sutton only charging 90 odd quid for theirs. not sure i'd be happy about that, can't be good for the club if their reducing prices by that much even if it does get a few more fans through the turnstiles.

At 13.75 a game,with no early bird or renewal discount our ST,are the most expensive in the league . And are hardly worth the saving of 1.25 a game . I've bought one again I've had one every season at the gally,I hope the club appreciates our very loyal fan base who are paying through the nose this season . The club needs help to fund everything on so many fronts .

Sutton works out 4. 50 a game MU 13.75 ...whopping difference . Only real income from match day will be from away fans . Beer and food profit won't add to a really significant amount . Shows the power of 3g income that they can afford to be so cheap ...let's hope they save over half a mill to replace the pitch in four years .....can't see the council helping to replace it every four years

Sutton fans have only know success in the last few seasons one poor,season the rest have been very good with two title wins and they have doubled the fan base. I think we have peeked gates wise ...Dartford at home 2600 with 3 or 4 hundred aways and Truro in the semi final 2500 both big games and no where near the sellout capacity . 2200 maybe a hundred more.

We will have hit 3000 gates on more than a few occasions if we had the full capacity available. Im pretty confident our average will be 2500 - 2600

And the future's perfect! See what I did there? Probably not unless you've got English O Level.
