Notes from meeting:

Upcoming games prices and allocations:

The sale of Nottingham Forest tickets had a slight delay as Forest have been unable to confirm their match ticket prices. Our allocation has been confirmed at 2,000 tickets which includes 11 wheelchair bays.

The Sheffield United allocation will be 2,251 which includes 10 wheelchair bays. These tickets will go on sale on the 2nd January to 2017/18 season ticket holders who have purchased for 12+ league games this season.

Adult prices are £32.

Leeds game subsidy

The cost of the Leeds United ticket subsidy was £23,005 leaving over half of the seasonal budget available for away games in the 2nd half of the season.

Sunderland was discussed last time as a possibility for a future subsidised game. The group felt that Sheffield Wednesday should also be strongly considered.

Disabled supporter online ticketing

The club are hoping to launch online ticketing for disabled supporters early next year.

Next meeting

Late January 2018.
