sorry Shirty but that does not give the answer as to where in the NWQ the youngsters will be located - and so my question
fans@cafc.co.uk
Agree with lancashire lad that season ticket holders in the NWQ need to be told where the 16-20 seat will be located. Having been situated at Reading with some of our teens with their Gucci scarves. I would rather not be alongside them or in front of them as they seem to have a habit of throwing things as well as screaching abuse. If they are in or behind our current area we should be consulted as to options for safe seating elsewhere.
the whole north lower should be safe standing - it always was a terrace anyway and just basically had seats originally plonked on it.
then for those down there that still want to sit down, the pricing structure should be such that they can sit in the NU at no extra cost
It's not quite that simple. I've sat in the Lower North a few times and there is a fair smattering of people in my age bracket [60 plus] for whom sitting is a a health choice as taking the stairs up to the upper North is less than ideal for knees and heart.
I'm in the Upper West and do struggle and am considering moving to the Lower West for health reasons.
Hi Kap, If you are struggling with the stairs you can contact the club and they will give you a lift pass. The lift is in the reception area.
Great the prices ain’t increased that much,but I do think that there shouldn’t be such a big jump from up to 11 to Under 18,my nephew misses the under 11 by 2 days & now it’s double in price,anyone know a reason why they don’t do an under 16 category…which I think would bring more in…
I've got the same issue. My daughter and her friends who I've been happily bringing along for the past couple of years are all now 11. The jump from 6 quid a ticket to 14 quid is madness. I won't be rushing to bring them along every week next season.
You could of course ask the parents of the other children to pay for their own children.
What you have done over the past few seasons is try to encourage new fans along👍
Thats what these new owners must do now.
Almost feels as new owners trying to recoup money spent on safe standing area?

How are they trying to recoup safe standing funds ? The prices for different ages are at every ground up and down the country.
They need to reduce the price of these season tickets. The last few games have been genuinely tough to watch, and if there's no assurance on an improvement in quality of player, the least they could do is offer cheaper season tickets imo.
Done mine, my youngest came today, loved it and wanted a season ticket, so the job of a parent is to shape their childs life in the worst way possible, and I'm here to help!

I always threatened my grandkids, that if they misbehave they will have to go the watch the football with grandad.
But seriously, he absolutely loved it, when I thought he would hate it after 20 minutes. He’ll be a cynical so and so within 18 months, but for now, embrace the enthusiasm, and the season ticket is £30, so why not
Until clubs stop making very ordinary players millionaires this downward spiral will continue.
There is money in football but too much goes to players (but not all players).
The bubble will burst.
The bubble has been getting bigger for the past 30+ years since Sky took over. I am not sure when that bubble is going to burst.
When I was over in London last November Fulham v Wolves was on tele on a Monday night, you could have paid £160!!!!!! Grounds are still pretty much to capacity and the prices are continually going up.
Apologies for being a lightweight but can't find the info re when the season ticket initial price period ends & when we need to renew to keep our existing seats.

I'm sure someone will know ...clive ?
From the club's communication of 21st March....
"Men’s first-team season tickets are now on sale with supporters able to maximise savings by purchasing at Phase One pricing before 11.59pm on Friday, May 10th"
I still haven’t found anything that is better to do at 15:00 on a Saturday in my life.
So I’ve renewed for the 35th year running.
Your 32 years old though!!
Technically, those fans that bought 5 year tickets could have potentially renewed their season tickets for more consecutive years than they’d been alive at the time.

You are of course right.
I should really have said the bubble needs to burst.
It’s mad that players are multi millionaires with relatively limited standout quality. Some yes. But too many are ‘over’ rewarded at the expense of supporters whether in person or by TV subscription.
Got round to renewing ours today, slightly different view next season after years of the same seats, the climb up into the upper West has been sacrificed in favour of less steps.

And people say that I'm tight

But unfortunately there’s such a demand for tickets from tourists that nobody at the club cares.
Awful.

"The deadline to renew and secure phase one pricing is 11:59pm on Friday May 10th.
Your 2023/2024 seat(s) will not be released until Friday May 31st."
Am I right in think kick off times next year are going to be different and not all 3pm? Seem to recall ths is part of teh TV deal with Sky.
so all those who cry about Leeds being on live will be able to cry about charlton being on live and kicking off at half past cnut on a thursday night
