Meanwhile, off the pitch, never one to miss out on an opportunity to fleece fans, Herbert Douglas Ellis announces a 20% price rise on all tickets and two additional ‘premium’ games to be added to the existing EIGHT that are already sold at a 16% premium. Ellis claims the money is for new signings to strengthen the squad. Spoiler Alert: There were no new signings, just a bigger personal piggy bank.
