    It all depends on how we end the season.

    £199 is safe - most will pay that with hughes now here.

    if they go £249, fans want to see a better quality of player signed. Not just squad filler-quality that ends up starting, like this season

    I've voted no as I'm not currently willing to renew.

    If they change my mind before the end of the season though I'm happy to pay more and I think it's something the club need to seriously consider if the funds will be channeled into the right areas.

    Exactly.

    We're paying promotion prices according to the club, top 5 budget even with no external input, etc.

    Increase? Absolutely not.

    Why should Rupp put up money. This is a business not a charity. Ffp only allows you to spend a percentage of turnover.

    We don’t need more money on players, it needs spending better.

    Where we do need more money is off field, to improve things like coaching methods, sports science and scouting so we don’t keep signing dross year on year!

    Our trouble is we have large overheards, it’s fine the playing budget been sustainable but if we want to grow the off field side of things then we’ll have to fund overheads separately instead of everything coming out of this one ‘sustainable’ pot.

    I liken us more to David Cameron’s Britain, Austerity and living within our means which for business means no growth. It’s not a charity it needs investment, speculate to accumulate.

    Upgrades are available into the suites in the main stand and Kop.

    for parking speak to the ticket office but I’d be surprised if there are any spaces at the ground. There may be some at the TA barracks though

    the seats are slightly more comfortable in the areas for the suites, but if extra padding.
    Depending on where you sit currently might be worth just popping across and tryi by them out before a match.

    You already complain now in spades so how could you be quicker by paying more?

    mid that is the Sunwin stand then I’d suggest going for a walk before a match upstairs and go have a look round, try the seats. It is the area infront of the directors box

    I believe a suite upgrade for the season is around £130 plus price of season ticket, Parking spaces when available are around £240

    Even with that increase , we are still paying a pittance for our tickets. Some national league fans pay more.
    We now have Mark hughes spending the money and attracting the players , not Mr Bland Adams. I am not sure he is even attractive to his wife.
    I just have more belief that we have the right man, finally. Just need to give him the tools to work with.

    I completely agree yet some of our fans seem to think the budget doesn't matter. What's wrong with these people? Every pound added to the budget gives the manager more scope to build a squad with better players. Sick of the big club in league 2 mantra yet our budget is top 7 competitive. Let's see a top two or three budget next season and give Hughes a real chance of success.

    Do more funds mean better players. You been watching the last few seasons?

    In a very different economic environment of unstable and rising prices (especially gas/electricity /fuel), political posturing and war, a season ticket increase may be a real kick in the gonads for many families, especially in another season of abject failure.

    For those with disposable income, an increase may not be as tough on household budgets. Flip side of the coin......

    The same immoral Swindon Town FC that was taken to court for non payment of rent to the council, you know, local providers of services, assistance to the people of Wiltshire?

    They’d be about £20 in a few years happy days!

    I suspect many of us are paying more than 10 quid a game already given the true attendance figures.

    Not a budget issue though. It was a manager that didn't show shite from shinola

    I rarely get to all games due to work commitments. If it was a lot more expensive then I would reconsider buying but need to to keep my seat

    We knew Adams was going to sign players 'who needed a chance', it's never been a secret, and that's what we got.

    You're right, they have mostly been terrible.

    But as you say, it's NOT a budget issue, and I don't know why we have a thread here talking about problems with our budget, to be honest.
