I think freezing the season ticket prices, whilst seen by many as a good thing, is the least the club could do considering the indifferent season we have had - any increase, and that could drastically reduce the number sold this summer.
That said, I think the club could have gone further - If you look at the likes of Bradford, Huddersfield and Port Vale - they have all slashed season ticket prices recently, and look at the effect on their average attendances 0 they have gone through the roof, Bradford and Huddersfield especially.
Ini times of economic hardship, and a lot of people concerned about their job, a gesture by the club to slash the prices for next season could pay dividends both in terms of money being brought in, and by increasing the fan base.
I feel, despite the freezing of the prices, the amount of season cards being sold will fall in the summer - the recession and the lack of progress being made by the team will undoubtedly play a part on many peoples decisions, but to slash them like the aforementioned clubs, and we could see a returj to 8/9,000 each week.
