SIR: I address this to the directors of Bolton Wanderers.

Not only do we have to suffer the pain and humiliation of being relegated, we have to pay 33pc more for the privilege. Until the new prices came out, we were loyal supporters who bought our season tickets year after year. Now we are equivalent to the "band waggon jumpers" who only bought theirs when we went into the Premiership again. What happened to the loyalty bonus?

So, come on Nat, get these money-grabbing purse string holders to see the error of their ways and reward the loyal supporters before it's too late. Surely you don't want to see a half-empty Reebok Stadium? And surely you don't expect a large number of supporters to pay up front to see a lower standard of football? Reward the loyal supporters before it's too late.

Sick as a Parrot
