Is the club defrauding loyal supporters?

Presumably the 2025 / 26 early bird pricing & the explanation text behind how its been arrived at will be posted by the club soon, when that happens for sure this thread will light up again with posters voicing the latest opinion / match day ticketing experiences (Myself included)

If and its a big if building work starts on the main stand at the end of the season, how will this effect season tickets there. I imagine a logistical nightmare.

It will probably still exist, but be from age 66 in line with current State Retirement Age SRA. Going forwards the club might also insert the clause so consession increases when SRA increases which is what clubs are starting to do.

I noticed in the earlier post about Brighton & their upcoming take on season ticket pricing that they were going to use 66 as the pensioners concession age in future years, but they are going to start it from the following season (not next season) so anyone who qualifies at 65 next season & is already an existing season ticket holder will actually be 66 by the time the new guidelines kick in -

I got the impression that building work was scheduled to take place over a number of seasons (years) so
if, for example, the summer months & next season were designated for building the outside shell of the new stand over the existing main stand, it may be that seating is not disrupted at all this time around -

IDK it will certainly be interesting to see what news comes out at the season ticket renewal dates as that will provide some clue as to what to expect.

My understanding is that for the first season of building at least, the existing Main Stand is unaffected, as building works will only take place BEHIND the Main Stand for the first year.

There might be different entrances though, and some of the 'lounges' that extend to the rear of the stand might be demolished during that first season, meaning it's a less swanky experience

I am curious at what point the club 'chops off' the front 6 rows of the Whitehorse Lane Stand - there will be hundreds of season ticket holders there who will need relocating

Oh, I didn't know they were gonna do that.
Probably like when I was moved out of the H'dale lower, offered half price season ticket for one season elsewhere. Now though I pay much more for my ticket as chose a good seat in the Upper Gallery.

If they put a freeze on selling any new season tickets in the Whitehorse Stand then withiin a couple of years time they would have enough vacated seats to just about squeeze everyone in from the front 6 rows

Plus some might actually want to move to other stands anyway
