We can complain, because we were never asked. If I'd been asked I'd have said to tell Sky to piss off. Correct, but our gripe should be with County (and the other clubs in the EFL), yet it seems to be targeted at Sky all the time. Yes, the amount of money Sky put in they’re entitled to call the shots, it’s up to the clubs to decide whether to take the money or not

Think clubs are too greedy/too easy to roll over. TV deals are one of the things that give the most money to clubs. I don't think any financials have been released about the new deal but I would suspect that every club is happy getting that extra couple hundred thousand

I don't think any financials have been released about the new deal but I would suspect that every club is happy getting that extra couple hundred thousand Well, there's the point. Firstly, they're all getting it, so your competitive advantage from the additional money is pretty much nullified. The clubs' biggest outlay is transfer/wages. That's where this is going. I've got no issue with players taking what they're due, but they can take what is available. And secondly, this is clearly having an impact on the fans. I'm not naive enough to expect to be asked to chip in on a commercial decision of the club. I can say if I think we've got it wrong though. I am, sadly, old school on this though. I don't think there's any need for this much football to be on TV and I don't think the game's best interests are served by it.

Every other clubs says yes but we say no. Do we get kicked out or not get more money

The clubs have signed up to it though, it's like the old Klopp argument at the 12.30 Kick Off with BT - as was correctly pointed out to him, the clubs have agreed to it (ours being one of them) so you can't retrospectively complain when Kick Offs change. We can complain, because we were never asked. If I'd been asked I'd have said to tell Sky to piss off. Its a big change for our football lives and feel fans should have been consulted. That was never going to happen as i expect the majority would be thinking the same way as us. Unless you swerve TV football i also feel like someone else has said that it will be a detriment to the game due to over exposure. Many players as well as some fans are glad when the season is over if only to charge up their batteries. Only the ones that live and dream the game will want it 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year.

Very reasonable pricing; fair play to the club.

Yeah, those ticket prices are more than fair considering the outlay on players, stadium expansion and that we’ve gone up.
Biggest gap in it all is jump from 17 year old to full whack at 18, there’s no interim price if you’re not a student. It’s a 100% increase. Would like to see an 18-22 price in future.
It’s not a cheap day out by any means but considering the wider context, and that virtually everyone has a season ticket anyway so these prices are largely irrelevant, they’re very fair.

Fair pricing, about what you’d expect for League One.
Means a season ticket gives you roughly 5 free games a season in comparison, which feels right.

Would like to see an 18-22 price in future I've been saying this for years and years. I couldn't agree more. And it mustn't just replace the student price, it needs to be in conjuction with it.

In line with League One is fine, but that doesn't mean it's good value. £66 (£72 Cat A) to take a family of 4 out for a couple of hours of entertainment isn't great value for money. It's in line with League One prices and Mark Stott is investing lots in the club so we feel like we should accept paying a little more, but that's prohibitively expensive for many families and not good value compared to other things you could take your family to do.
