"The minimum we can charge for tickets is £12 and the way we look at setting those prices is we look at our closest rivals, not just in terms of in the league but the geography of the area as well, to see what they charge and how it compares with the rest of the league before making any other decisions on amenities.

"But we do think we're really competitive in comparison to other clubs and offer good value for money."
