Club policy in the event of relegation

[.:BigDaveInTheDungeon:.]

prices would stay the same, the club would just think that if we can afford to pay the prices we are now then we will continue to pay that price. What would be more interesting is if they would increase prices if we stay up this year, say to fund the staduim expansion whenever it happens.

JM is no fool, he knows that 18k st holders are possible, price it right when we return to the Championship and that is 18k bums on seats, make matchday prices £25 and £460 sound the price for the lower league. Still a good deal higher than the last time at that level

As long as the club believe you before they set prices that will suffice.

As important as I undoubtedly am, I suspect RFC give not two hoots about my intentions regarding renewal.

That only applies whilst they have supreme confidence in being able to find someone to replace you if you decide to renew - after the tribulations of this season, in the middle of an economic downturn with the "credit crunch" I'm not so sure they can be that confident.

There's also what I call the "Premier League frog factor" about all the crap that the PL brings with it. Things like kick-off times for TV, ticket prices, over-zealous stewarding, over-hype, cheating players, the uncompetitive nature of the league, the idea of being a brand and not a football team - and so on.

As you probably know, if you drop a frog into a pan of boiling water it will jump straight out, but if you put it into a pot of cold water and gradually increase the heat you can boil it to death. Supporters of clubs who have been in the PL all along are those who've got used to all the PL crap as it's gradually got worse since 1992 - just like frogs when the heat is slowly turned up.

But we've all suddenly been dropped into a pot where the heat is already damn high - how many are going to jump out, I wonder? Considerably more, I think, than the club and the Premier League are banking on if things don't change. I certainly know a fair few considering it very seriously.
