Don't really want to get in a class debate, however on Saturday I was surrounded by lads in the Family Enclosure and the atmosphere was great. Unfortunately when they hit 18 these lads are going to have to pay full price. There aren't many of them who are gong to go from earning nothing to earning enough to go to 20 games at £40+. I think the Cannon club should be extended to 23 and have its own section with safe standing if possible. Then there would be a very vocal end!

spot on mate. how can they expect 18 year olds, majority being still in full time education, to be able to finance those kind of prices with no serious income?

But they're all in Club Level, which never has any atmosphere?
No, 1 in 5 in my block or so were jumping and singing...
