The student thing is a bit odd. We already have an U21 pricing category. Granted there are students who are not U21 on August 1st (the qualifying date) in any given season, but it's likely to be very difficult to verify that these people will be in education the following academic year when STs are sold.
Not saying it's a bad thing, but it won't change the situation for most undergraduate students and will affect a tiny number of people who both qualify AND are available to attend enough games to make a ST worthwhile - even if they are likely to want one in present circumstances.
What it's not providing is a new deal for all students, most of whom will be completely unaffected as they qualify for the same price already on age.
Being a student in Leeds has meant I don't get to that many home games but I have qualified for the U21 ticket previously. Still in Leeds doing my masters next year so when I do go it'll mean I'm one of the few that are benefitting from this, being 22 and still getting cheap tickets, but I see what you're saying as expect I'm a vast minority.
What I do find strange is that the group are claiming responsibility for ideas that were already in place before they came in. If this group were not pro-regime why would they do such a thing.
What the hell do they discuss every month? How about reducing the cost of Valley Express, remember KM wanted to get shot of this, as it was losing money.
We NEED this group to cease in their attempts. You cannot hold hands with the enemy, this is detrimental to protest attempts in hurting Roland's pocket. Even if for some obscure reason the members of Target20k are pro-Roland, then they need to accept this is a waste of their time and effort due to the fact the vast majority of fans are now anti-Roland.
This is important that they stop helping the Club, they will just bite the hand that's feeding them as they already have done.
I said this the second I read about this group, it needs to stop.
'In the meantime, we will do what we can to retain current support and get new support'
That's simple, help push this ownership OUT rather than assist them, you will retain all current supporters, regain the lost ones and get plenty of new support.
Last night's statement means, in my mind, only the uninterested or myopic would want to do anything to support the current regime. Appreciate and respect people have a right to think otherwise, but struggling for a reason to do anything which will in any way help the current mob. That includes any support for Target 20K which should be suspended for the duration ... we can get behind it with vigour when Roland has gone.
LouisMend 9:03AM Target 20k - who lets face it are probably the most willing fans to work with the current regime for what they see as the good of the club overall - have released a statement renouncing Roland's rant.
Fair play to them but still doesn't go far enough for me though, they need to back this up at their next meeting with an ultimatum to withdraw their involvement completely if a full blown apology and complete change if direction from the executive is not evident (which is highly unlikely).
Cosying up to the management who play an important part in the success or otherwise of the regime, isn't going to help rid this club of the Douchbag and Nightmeire is it?

I agree. They are playing a very dangerous game in current circumstances.
It is a shame that T20K can't see that they are constantly being held up by the club as one of only two examples of fan/club interaction. RD's rant was a perfect excuse for announcing a severing of ties but some people just can't see the reality of what they are doing.
Target 20k just don't get it do they! There is no working with this owner and his 'CEO' all they are doing is lending credence to this disgraceful pair!
Enough already! They should now break off relations with the club until this outrageous and offensive statement is removed and full apology is issued to fans.

Edit... I'll email them.

You've tipped the waverers over the edge Roly
