Latics today announced a price review for first team fixtures at the JJB after finally realising they are pricing supporters out of the game.

There has been discontent amongst supporters for a while, most eloquently voiced by Latics Independent Supporters Association (LISA), but the penny finally dropped after Stuart Pearce’s criticism and the poor turnout against Manchester City.

 

Despite the shenanigans over the price hikes, the new shirt even though the old one was supposedly for two seasons, and the charging of supporters to use the car park, Brenda Spencer displayed how deluded she really is with the statement: "We pride ourselves at this club on listening to our supporters. In the recent 'Fans Survey' of all clubs in the Premiership we were at the top of the league for being accessible for our fans to speak to club officials and voice opinions and concerns”.

 

Club officials are now looking into re-pricing fixtures for the remainder of the season in order to maximise their profits.
