The irony in this is for me is that even though I've said I won't be heading back to St James Park any time soon, I may well have to. One of the lads I look after is on about getting a season ticket and as a support worker, I could be asked to take him (as his carer) he pays for his s/t and I would get in for nout. I feel kind of 'meh' about it at the moment, but I have to remind myself that it's part of my job and that it's not me who is giving my cash to the club.

 

We shall see.

Hope you gave the lad the Ashley-enabler lecture first, whatever happens.

Seems as if this is the first sweetener by the club to try and get those with season ticket's to stay on.

 

The revision of the price-freeze scheme is part of The Magpies' commitment to making football affordable, with those on ten-year deals paying from as little as £327 for adults, £286 for students and seniors and £90 for juniors for the 2014/15 campaign.

 

John Irving, finance director at Newcastle United, said: "Keeping football affordable for supporters continues to be a hugely important aim at Newcastle United so we are delighted to announce our ticketing plans for the 2014/15 season.

 

:slowclap: Well done to the club on this magnanimous gesture. It's great that the club's finance director is delighted at this even though it means the club's matchday revenue will continue to reduce year on year in real terms. Hopefully, in line with the aims of the club, we'll soon be able to match Sunderland's "commitment to making football affordable" by giving away more & more free tickets to games too.
