The programme today advises Early Bird Season Ticket Prices have been released. Have they? Nothing on the official site or on here or on Facebook or Twitter. Where has his information been released?
I suspect they've only offered season tickets to existing holders. Great way of ensuring new supporters get involved.
And with a deadline of the 28th March, just nine days time, and a few days before month end when most are paid, and on a Bank Holiday.
For ****s sake. Pathetic. Again.
I thought the clowns left in January.

I got an email in the week but the deadline is a bit short. I'm away Easter so a bit tricky.
Should have been a week later maybe but I'm guessing some of the funds would have been given to Frosty. After today's result though there's no rush to get funds in?
Shame we're only advertising season tickets to existing season ticket holders. I havent missed a home game in years but am not a season ticket holder. I might have bought one were I offered one. What a shame.
Sadly I think this is the final nail in the coffin for the club.
If the early-bird season ticket is £175 then that means the standard season ticket price for next season will be dearer than that of league clubs such as Charlton Athletic. Unless the matchday ticket price drops significantly, I can't see many people bothering to come next season. Especially with the way supporters have been treated this season.
Today's attendance was down again at 500, less than we had for most games during our last spell in the conf south. I warned nearly three years ago that charging £16/15 a game would gradually eat away at our floating supporter base, and now we're losing advertisers and sponsors as well. Well you can't blame them when there's less and less people to advertise to and match sponsorship equates to almost £1 per supporter... And the whole idea charging of £15/16 was to take advantage of the away team's support at the expense of deterring new home supporters. Well apart from a couple of teams such as Bromley and Grimsby we've struggled to attract away crowds of 100+ from most teams this season. As I pointed out last season, one visit to little Welling in the 2013/2014 season was enough for most away fans in this league. Yet the Hobbins have still decided to gamble on short term profit making before sustainable long term growth.
We're now going down to the National League south with a smaller support base and worse finances than when we got promoted. And all I can say is "I told you so...."

I've been a season ticket holder in the past but not this season. I haven't received an email, or seen it on social media, or the forum until now. Ineptitude like this means I probably won't bother.
I'm a season ticket holder did not get an e-mail and only knew of the new deal because I was told there were application forms on the season ticket turnstile by another season ticket holder. i had entered the ground and had not even been offered one by the turnstile operator. If they are sent out in the post the turn around time a will be even shorter bearing in mind Easter weekend I am sure tan at some who would renew will miss the deadline.
