I don't agree.
The days of treating the typical football supporter as a second class citizen and charging the Earth for the privilege does not wash anymore; and it is refreshing that we have Owners who understand that.
The current fare on offer at the ground for people in the cheap seats is still not up to standard, but at least the Club have taken steps to improve things.
The new stand gives the Club the perfect opportunity to make significant improvements in both the scope of what is on offer and to the comfort in which people eat and drink; the upgrade to the concourses throughout the ground even more so.
This is an area in which the club can make huge increases in income; I'm sure most people would rather get to the ground early and have something to eat and drink provided it is of an acceptable standard and price, particularly if you have a number of kids in tow.
We might have a very loyal fan base but even they will not fill 38k seats on a regular basis; the Club competes in a very competitive entertainments market and everything should be done to attract the casual supporter.
Cost, comfort and quality of what is on offer will enhance the match day experience and make it all the more memorable.
