CAST was represented at the Supporter Forum on Thursday October 15th.
The club were represented by Gavin Carter – Chairman, Jon Blythe – Head of Operations, Chris Samson - Head of Marketing, Tom Rubashow – Head of External Relations, Hannah Jacobs – Fan Engagement Officer.
Issues covered were: ticket prices, catering, accessibility, communication and supporter engagement.
On ticket pricing Gavin Carter said affordability is one of the elements considered around ticketing, other elements include maximising revenues, the opportunity to create a better atmosphere, to create a better matchday experience. He said that the price of the football club playing in the higher tiers means that the price of a ticket is going to be higher, simply because the costs are higher and the loss rate of the football club this season will be higher than in previous seasons.
