But then you would have those Trust members who have already renewed, which is £15, up in arms. The club have really (but completely understandably) been caught unprepared by all this.

It seems that some people object to paying to join the trust as a matter of principal so even if the membership fee went down to £1 it wouldn't satisfy some.

And that's the reason why the Club should challenge the Conference management over this directive which is unacceptable, unworkable and non-equitable. :twisted:

Not a thing so far. I might send the Conference another one if they still haven't replied by the end of the week.

If facebook is anything to go by, there will be a heck of a lot of spaces this year especially when we play on freezing cold days against mundane teams.

Just a thought but how about charging £17 for one PDB ticket or £28 for one that includes a free voucher for admission to a subsequent game during the season? The same offer can be made to away fans ;-)

According to someone on Confforum there is a Conference meeting being held at Nene Park today, hopefully this will be discussed.
