longley owl Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm taking my 6 year old nephew to his first ever game to make sure he's an Owl and it's cost 18 quid for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallam_stallion Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Looking at the number of tickets left it looks as though we're approaching 19.5-20k home seats sold (minus 800 or so unused in the last North block). The minimum additional sales we'll have between now and 3pm Saturday (including walk-ups) is circa 2.5k. Hull will bring at least 3k so we'll easily get 25000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 £28 quid for my bro, £26 for me with membership and £18 for my dad add in my train fare from brum and tram fare and a couple of pints and it's bloody expensive. I'll forget all that if the mighty Owls reward me with a win though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've taken up yoga. With a sense of inner peace, I am appreciating our wonderful team more and more. Sorry, I mean I've taken up yoghurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vontemp Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 People ought to take a look at the rest of the crowds in the Championship before slagging off ours. 18k at Forest tonight, last night Wolves 19k, Hull 14k, there really isn't a lot of spare money in people's pockets.

Mr. Chow Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 we're a poo poo team at the moment charging £28 a match, its not really appealing is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Just too expensive for pay on the day tickets £28 on Kop is shocking v Hull. I'll be there with fingers crossed a can blag a freebie again, Should do some deal for Saturday to get a big crowd in and get behind the lads £10 & £1 get 35k there and back to winning ways.

Guest LNM Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 AC Milan got mid 20's for a home Champions League match the other week...20K+ is VERY respectable & in no way poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaldD Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'll be there for a change got a season ticket but only been 2 games so far due to holidays, so it'll be interesting to see how the atmosphere is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls4effa Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) TBH I don'nt think the fixture list helps. Ok i've got a ST. But anyone who hasen't & went to Wolves & burnley and then the Hull game. Its a bloody expensive week. Especially if you take the kids too.

Maddogbob Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If I wasn't working if be there as its first sat after payday. Honestly poor form and the price will put a lot off. Shame really as we should be riding a crest of optimism this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you really get 35k though at those prices? 19,000 inc away fans @ £10 = £190,000. More likely 29k (at a push). 13,000 inc away fans @ £10 = £130,000. As it is now, 8,000 inc away @ £28 = £224,000 This isn't about increasing the number of fans anymore, more to do with maximising revenues from the people who will pay over the odds each match.

Guest Willie Henderson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If the players weren't earning more in a month than most of us fans earn in a year and it wasn't all about tv revenue, then maybe the match day prices would come down! Crowds are falling fast at a lot of grounds and tbh Wednesday are one of the few teams gettin bigger crowds than the last few years ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest christheowl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I really dont get the people who say "I'm not going because we're playing sh!t"...we support SWFC for god sake, if you want to see a team play beautiful football and win every week, then go and support Man U or City. This is hardly bad is it ? I've seen us play much worst in the past ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just visiting Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Middlesborough are an example of what lies ahead for most Football League clubs. There home crowds are shocking, bearing in mind they have no parachute payments this season and with Financial Fair Play rules restricting the amount chairmen can plough into the club, they may not be seen in the Premier League again. Teams like Wednesday, Derby and more so Leeds United, who charge extremely high prices but have 20k+ hardcore that are happy to pay, will, at some point in the next five years return to the Premier League and stay there. More fans paying less doesn't make good business sense in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
