I disagree, I've been a season ticket holder for 11 years, and to be honest other than securing my seat I don't think I'm more special than the fans who pay on the gate every week.

I still think as a club we need to be much smarter in the way things get communicated.

Spend sometime with a top premiership club, see how they do things, I'm sure most clubs get things wrong but we make errors all the time.

Except for the fact WE as season ticket holders have put our money upfront which others havent therefore we deserve to have a big say over those who dont. Just as in we get first rights on tickets

Going back to the AM opening post. Yes, I think we can learn from the Blues.
There are fans who bought STs for the carling cup.
They will see this season through and the drop off will be next season.
I am not even sure if success will fully persuade them to stay either.
Unless something lifting like a "blue dawn" where us as fans stay loyal blue this season and get a buzz going
I think a split more equal than the reds think -will be on the cards.
There is a large 'minority, mainly the walk ups but with a good number of STs who have been totally disenfranchised
By events.

This season requires a successful team and I'm really hoping that the away tops sell like crazy so us fans can stick two fingers up to everyone corporate and all other football fans watching this saga.

If we don't

The drift may become irreversable

I still don't think we have the right to have a greater say on matters surrounding the club, not having a go but we as fans are all equal.

I just choose to pay for 24 matches in one go.

To be honest I dont think the Red shirts will sell well at all maybe the odd people who have children and such but I think most people will stick to our traditional Blue
