    The vote seems to be a choice between

    £12 adults £6 concessions

    £11 adults £6 concessions

    £10 adults £5 concessions

    I rather like the look of the last one

    Where is £15?

    The last one would be my preference too.

    If there is only 22 games in the BSS and the £10-£5 is voted for,and the early bird is £207 it will be pointless getting a season ticket. Other than helping the club with advanced monies. there will only £13 difference.if i have my maths right.

    Human nature (and the economy) being what it is I can fully understand the peoples choice being £10 and £5. However with the perilous state of the club finances wouldn't it be better to consider £11 and £6, that extra pound each game over a season would make a big difference.

    The last one.

    We should have had £10 and £5 for last season too, £15 and £8 is ridiculous.

    Shocker isn't it Jarle.

    Forgive me for going all John Pearce but I am fed up with MyFC 'running' this football club.

    £11 for Conference South.
    Lovely.

    Amen. As for the £11 it's in the upper quartile based on last season's prices. I pulled some numbers together a few months ago and fed them in but don't know what happened from there. In the 2009/ 10 season 15 of the 19 BSBS clubs I could find prices for charged £10, while 4 were at £11, and 3 unknown. Concessions varied a lot with many special incentives, but there were a few at £5 and at least one as high as £8, with a mean of £6.

    I'm thinking a £10/ £5 would have simplified and made for a sweet talking point, but hey - it wasn't the middle option so it wasn't what was wanted I suppose

    Now the gate prices have been set, will the club be announcing the Season Ticket prices?

    Probably after another week's proposing and voting. Supporting the Fleet is like living under a permanent hung parliament.

    Fewer people voting on gate price than people who'll end up paying these prices every week. Hmmmm...

    I am fed up with MyFC 'running' this football club.

    But MyFC don't get to run the club Jeff, thats the problem.

    And perhaps it is pertinent to share this from the vote article, written by Phil

    "Over the last few months I have spoken to many fans who expect the match day prices to be £12 and £6. I have said to them, “suppose the prices were £11 and £5 (concessions)?”. The response is generally that it would be good and would get a number of fans back who have stopped coming. I remember in my early days of November/December 2007 hearing fans on Stonebridge Road saying that the £13 match price was too high. The challenge I would like to set these and other fans from the area, is “prove it” by turning up if we give you a competitive price.

    I can fully accept that there will be a wide diversity of opinion on this subject, but my aim is simply to get as many customers as possible coming back to Stonebridge Road. I feel that a competitive price will do this. The strong recommendation from the club is that we opt for match day prices of £11 and £5 (concessions)."

    Good point, well made. It's not really possible to run it from behind a monitor though is it?

    I think the biggest mistake was not there was no clear plan in place before a club was even identified.

    One suspects that those fans were talking about BSP prices not BSS.

    Also - asking fans inside the ground if £12 would be a good price is kinda biased - they are already dedicated/deluded enough to be paying £15 so of course £12 seems fair!

    Its the view of the fans/casual supporters who dont go that really matters - and I dont think £11 will be attracting many of them to BSS

    "deluded " Patman ? You have already said that you are not a fan....so why bother commenting ?? I will pay £11 to support my home town team ! Shame they didn't get to build the new stadium by the A2, and then my home town team would have been playing in my home town. However, not sure where the boundary lies between Gravesend and Northfleet as you go up Coldharbour Road towards Morrisons from Wrotham Road, so, as they say in the song, it ain't necessarily so !! We could always have another name change to Gravesham....that would cause two people to write to the Distorter !! And we could re name the station as well....or does everyone know where Ebbsfleet is now ??

    Controversial Brian ?!

    Cheers,

    Just hope that Myfc provide the turnstyle staff ample piles of 4 x £1 coins for change.
    Would have been logistically far simpler with £10/£5.
    But what do the fans who have to queue in the freezing rain matter.

    I'm sure that extra pound would have been spent at Harry's 50/50 booth.

    "queue " Gazza ??

    You have been watching too much Premiership sh*t on the telly !! That last time I queued to get into San Stonebridge was the famous Canvey Island game.

    If those who don't have a season ticket ( good value !!) pay at the gate then they may want to bring a pound coin with them.....although I am sure that the club will have a "float" of change ! I bet that you would moan if the Government did away with 1p & 2p coins, although all outlets have to have a stock of them to give as change currently !!

    What shall we moan about next ?

    I would say answers on a a postcard but you would moan about the price of a stamp !!

    Cheers,
