The other side of that is corporates pay a hell of a lot more than we do.
Not my argument.
Why? Give me a good reason I should lose priority that I've earned just because I renew later than you.
Is it renewing if you leave it until September, or October, or even later?
I believe that if you've waited until we're about 10 games (for example) into the next season, it's not a renewal; after all, the chances are your ST seat from the previous season is likely to have been sold, so to me it's not really renewing, it's buying a new seat. Also, isn't it a case of waiting to see how we're doing before stumping up your cash? Again, it's not a renewal, in my view.
Priority for away games is a perk for STHs; why should you suddenly jump up the pecking order if you buy a ST in October when somebody else paid up front not knowing what division we'd be playing in?
Sorry if you don't agree, but that's just my feelings on the subject.
