Here is the BBC cost comparisons from last year.
We would compare favourably with other League 2 clubs unless you pay for the lukewarm cup of free tea in Club Red.

It's surprising really how little difference there is between some clubs all the way down to the National League. I know some of its a North-South thing, but there's some cheaper season tickets in the PL than in the National League.
The list also shows that there isn't much of a difference between league one and league two prices.
One final thing I noticed was how cheap the Women's tickets are (season ticket for £40-60), and yet their average attendance in the top division is just over 1,000, while the mens league two averages over 4,000. There's an oft quoted argument that if you reduce prices then you will get a lot of new fans becoming regulars, but those women figures seem to highlight how difficult it is to convince newcomers to stay, no matter how cheap you make it.
People may turn up for a low cost one-off game, but commiting to becoming a regular fan is different.
No wonder clubs just choose to rob their existing fans with extortionate prices.[/quote]
Careful, it sounds like you are implying we rip people off??? The pitch forks are being sharpened by the yokels as we speak
