I think people are getting too hung up on the discount thing.
The main issue isn’t the actual price of things, although even from last season the full prices of everything has gone up. That’s more an annoyance.
The main issue, for me at least, is the lack of communication. Nobody was told it was gone, not even the bar staff in Lewington’s. The fact that it was found out after a handful of other issues on the day only added to my annoyance on Saturday.
That's it in a nutshell.
The food has been terrible for two or three years. The beer has always been shit.
It's simply that that connection between Club and fans has gone.
I understand that if the bar staff don't know then thats a bit naughty, but is it really the biggest issue we have right now? When you get discounted food offers at supermarkets they don't make an announcement or have a ticker tape parade acknowledging the discount has ended. I mean I have a clubcard necter card and the new asda app and I expect an email or letter to advise me of such as I am such a "valued" customer of all those three supermarkets.
As for the price of things. Its food and drink (well I assume it is) of course things are going to increase again supermarkets dont tell you a tin of beans will increase in price twice in three months, but they have cause I noticed that they have. Fact of life. This is the world we live in now. It's not good, but if we are the only club that has done it then maybe we have an aggrievance, but I doubt that we are.
I really dont think that any of this would be as a bigger issue if we were in the 2nd tier or at least had a good start, but when people (rightly or wrongly) have said the squad is a shadow of itself and we could be in for our worst start in 5 years then you already have the hump the little things will be more noticeable. Again, no slight on anyone just a fact of human nature.
