Personally I think everyone should pay the same amount for drinks whether they're a season ticket holder or not. I'm a lifelong fan but live in Oxford so I usually only make about 15 games a season which are a mix of home and away fixtures so having a season ticket doesn't work for me. I'm every bit as passionate a fan as anyone else at the club so why should I and others like me be penalised at the bar for not having a season ticket? My feeling is that season ticket holders get subsidised entrance to the games and that's what a season ticket is for! Just make all the drinks a sensible price for everyone so that everyone receives some benefit. Surely that's what a community club is all about isn't it? Making things better for everyone instead of a chosen few!
And on that point of community, I think it's very easy to lose focus and slip into an 'entitlement' mindset. I think this has happened to some extent due to the rapid growth of the club and increase in crowd numbers - the post about kids playing football in the ground being a case in point. It's really important to remember that we got here by being a welcoming, inclusive, friendly community; if that focus changes the crowd numbers and growth can easily go the other way.
