Hide AdI buy three season tickets and a parking spot and this year one grandson is 17 and becomes an adult ticket so the cost will be £270 + £207 + £72 + £95 ( assuming parking is the same) which gives a total of £644. If I change to Derby which is more than half the mileage that I travel to MTFC the cost would be £445. Also, Derby have a twelve instalment payment scheme where the punter chooses the amount of deposit paid.
More flexibility is needed in order to encourage more young supporters and so increase gates.
