allen10 Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Yesterday, everyone that used the Saffron Lane Athletics Track car park for the QPR match was given a letter offering supporters the opportunity to buy an annual car park permit for next season. For anyone that uses the car park regularly, you'll know it's £4. However on this letter, it says the price for an annual car park permit is £85. If you do the maths - £85 divided by 19 league matches = £4.47. It also says, if you take advantage of this offer, you'll get the equivalent of 2 days of free match day parking. Unless they're putting the price up, which isn't stated in the letter, this just isn't the case. I think what they've done is assumed we'll be playing 23 matches at home next season, not the 19 matches you get at home in the Premier League. I've attached the letter, have a look at it and let me know what you think. In the meantime I'll send an email to the guy at the council to see what he says! I just don't want the council short changing our loyal supporters!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Think you've hit the nail on the head. The guy who does this thinks there are 23 matches next season. A classic example of putting someone in charge of something who has no idea what he's dealing with.
red5 Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Simple maths say, 19x5=95, 85 is 2 match saving as it says.
Jimothy Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Simple maths say, 19x5=95, 85 is 2 match saving as it says. He said it's £4 per match, not £5.
red5 Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 He said it's £4 per match, not £5. I know he did but that's this season, we are premier league now didn't you know. And the maths don't add up @£4 do they
jammie82uk Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Simple maths say, 19x5=95, 85 is 2 match saving as it says. Just like the OP said The letter don't state any price rises so it's not as simple as that Also the letter is poorly worded using "next season" and "this season" to seemingly mean the same season
allen10 Posted 20 April 2014 Author Posted 20 April 2014 UPDATE: I have had an email back from the council confirming that it will be £5 to park there next season. They have apologised and admitted they made a mistake by not making this clear on the letter. So with it being £5, you are saving £10 by buying the annual pass. Hopefully they'll tell people about the price increase when they go to park for the Doncaster match.
fleckneymike Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 Or you could park for free next to friar lane and epworth.
