Good grief!
What other club provides a deal that lets punters travel for about £1.30 return from several miles away?

An off peak return to falmer from Eastbourne costs £8.50 and one to Lewes costs £7.10. Therefore you save £1.40 a time which is 10p more than £1.30 - so you're slightly ahead!
The more pedantic might argue that if we get promoted to the Prem, the travel will work out at £1.57 a game so you'll be 17p down!

With news today, that confirms NSC's exclusive yesterday that £30 will be added to 2012/2013 Season Tickets (£15 for concessions) as a Transport Levy, do you think that this is the correct way to approach the matter?
In my opinion I think it is, I believe that the supporters who have unfairly taken advantage of not having bought Travel Vouchers have brought us to this scenario. The club (naively in my opinion) trusted the supporters to do the right thing, and hundreds, maybe a couple of thousand didn't.
Anyway, its going to happen, but the good news is that ST prices have been frozen (unless we reach the Premier League!) for next season.
not read all thread but re last point ST DDs will start before playfoffs decided & I can't see a Premier League sucharge being added on & backdated with £40m of TV dosh to boost the bank a/c

Judging by the responses on here you couldn't be more wrong.
I already do £360 per space

You choose to pay that so why ask for a refund?

Oh right so everything on NSC is the truth is it ?
Dear oh dear
No but you are in a very small minority on here and from discussions at the game you are in a very small minority amongst those not on here to whom I have spoken. It is possible that the whole of the Shoreham Conservative Club is behind you but even that will, I suspect, leave you in a small minority. Time will tell.

Great news so all you mates agree with you so you are right, you could not even make that one up.
Have no idea where the Shoreham conservative club is

I think what the club are doing here is great and i fully endorse next season's policy of including the transport levy.
If you read what I said I am not asking for that I am hoping they will reduce the cost of the car parking by £30 to take this in to account

This.
I not only pay for his kid's ticket price to be subsidised, but as a tax payer I also help pay for his free train travel. It's interesting how someone who benefits so much from subsidy is complaining about paying an extra £30. If anyone should be complaining it should be tax payers with full price season tickets who are getting shafted by certain scroungers.

Really don't understand why everyone keeps saying its stealing from the club? LB said earlier he assumes the club pay a lump sum to the train companies to run extra trains, aren't all the trains scheduled anyway? If southern aren't collecting vouchers not sure how they can charge any more?

I have a solution
For those happy to pay the levy - pay it
For those unhappy to pay the levy - pretend your season ticket has gone up £30 due to the fact that we are playing better football and will be around the plays off which is far better than anyone could have expected. Then you can be happy you are not paying the levy.
