Ah, next season, where given the current form we will be propping up the third division and dave will be the only fan left and have to pay eleventeen hundred pounds for a ticket AND bring his own munchies (a fiver a ticket sounds ok in context), on the plus side for his money he will be able to travel on the team coach doubling up as trolley dolly and kit man. Personally, I think that once the current payment shackles have been removed nothing will actually change around pricing as they will realise that any extra cash is a potential a profit and they will be able to buy two-ply bog roll for the executive toilet and KB will be able to upgrade the barnacle removing kit for his yacht.
