Surely landons forehead is entitled to buy a season ticket and then use it as much or as little as he wants, forking out £400 or so certainly is a good way of supporting Argyle. Different people support the club in different ways, and personally I don't consider any supporter "pathetic".
It seems that moles 40 may be somewhat agreeing with my argument that there are plenty who would like to go but can't afford to pay £24, especially to watch poor football.
So a limited-period special offer still seems a fairly good idea to me, then perhaps some more of those who are perhaps real supporters in moles 40's view, could go along to a few games.

wonder if Argyle will be going down the local postcode/telephone/only if on the ticket database, sales details for this match.
Or will we see a lot of Mackems in the home areas?

Surely coughing up for a Season Ticket before the Season starts - or the current one ends for early birds- is one of the best forms of support the Club could wish for.

No. As someone who has to save up for my season ticket every year I hate seeing reduced prices come in. The team is so bad it's torture going anyways

You're right. I'm a terrible fan. The £3,000-£4,000 season ticket money I've given the club over the last ten years plus means nothing. I'll also burn the hundreds of quids' worth of Argyle tat I've bought in the club shop over the same period as I clearly have no right to wear it.
You being sanctimonious about "supporting the team when the chips are down" makes you look foolish when you consider that I and other long-term season ticket holders were at home games when the team was bottom of the football league. I watched Hamza Bencherif, Ladjie Soukouna and Warren Feeney and I shouted them on. They were terrible footballers but they gave their all, and were the best that our wrecked club could afford.
The difference with the current team is that there is no administration or other financial strife to blame for the on-pitch shambles. This was, until recently, a club headed in the right direction in terms of league standing. The club may not have the resources of others in this league and I don't expect Argyle to be outspending and outperforming the Blackburns, Wigans and Sunderlands and tearing up the league. But if you think it's acceptable for the team to tamely surrender in game after game and be seemingly headed back to the basement, then you cough up £380 to watch League Two football next season. I won't be.
Moles40, in case you are not aware most people commit to a season ticket before a ball is kicked. Most fans hope that the team will play entertaining football.Why else would you pay out so much money? If the team are doing well you look forward to attending Home Park but lately some fans have better things to do.
I honestly believe that if the club toured Ivybridge, Tavistock and Liskeard with Pilgrim Pete and were to offer 2-4-1 tickets at supermarket entrances (like the AA/RAC) the take up rate would not get past double figures for all three. The product on offer is overpriced and not in demand.
Football is not that expensive at this level - yes there will always be some who can’t afford it but is really more about giving up time rather than money. I am a life long fan but after Oxford I won’t be back until things improve - if the team can’t be bothered neither can I
