endcliffeowl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 And £26 for children! Hillsborough would be down to 10,000 crowds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckington owl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It is expensive, but there are worse in this league. Leeds for example, 31 quid on their kop this weekend! Not sure how much it works out per game when you break the price of a season ticket down, but I know it's nowhere near 28 quid. The kids prices are disgusting though to be honest.

glenowl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If people bought membership you only have to pay £9 for u18 on the kop think its same for north and its not much more on south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Football crowds are really down this year I've noticed, Townend Owl made a good point about the German model, they still have standing, they don't have the big named players like in the Premiership or La Liga, but they can still produce decent teams, see Man City v Dortmund.

Semedo's ferret Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Fot those with kids (under 18) who would pay them to go to more than 3 games it pays to join the membership. £9 a ticket if junior member. Have to look it up as the grandparents paid for my sprogs membership, but think its about 20 quid for a seasons membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nejc_Pe�nik Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Under 10's should be £5. Some of them don't understand the game (they're young and thick as a bag of poo poo) but hopefully they're the ones who will turn out when we're all gone with the pope.

Pulsar Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Just looked up Wikipedia and it says TSV were founded May 1860. Looked up Notts County and it says They are the oldest of all the clubs in the world that are now professional, having been formed in 1862 Who is fibbing? TSV is a sporting club, the football division wasn't formed until 1899 Correct, and regarding the former post, it could be argued that we were formed in 1820.

Rusholme Ruffian 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. And therein lies the problem. I'm a Leeds Utd supporter and Bates knows that no matter how much he shafts us, there is a hardcore of "morons", to quote Ken himself, that will continue to pay. Wednesdays will have a similar harcore "Golden Goose" of supporters who, regardless of how disgruntled they become, cannot bring themselves to stop at home on a Saturday afternoon. There is a sizeable chunk of Leeds' potential support that will not pay anything to support Bates. Some will only go to away games. I admire them, I really do, because deep down, if all of us had the same conviction, our management would have no option but to reduce ticket prices. But we moan and chunter and swear never to go again, but we do. Its in our blood. Wednesdays and Leeds enjoy great, loyal support, and it is that continued loyalty that will be exploited ad infinitum. As a rare show of principle, I decided that as Bates was fleecing me enough with £530 for my season ticket, I would boycott the Everton game. I stopped at home and watched it on the telly, feeling guilty for the entire 90 minutes for doing so and at the end of the game, I had missed a memorable performance but had I achieved anything?....I think not. Never mind, its Barnsley at home on Saturday.....I need serious f***ing help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of valid points, however drop the 's' on end of Wednesday.

Guest zac.leeds Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Leeds fan in peace.. Re the game on 19th.. Not sure how many we have sold yet. Know it's mentioned 5k but think that's the amount of tickets we now received, got given top tier and sold out, now given seats in lower tier, although I would have thought top + bottom tier would be more than 5k total? Know game is on Sky but given there I'd break after this weekend, allows for plenty more home and away tickets which will mean it being the highest gate in the league so far this season! Will be boosted by decent results for both this weekend.. Can show the Tv support a good old skool Yorkshire Derby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zac.leeds Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 A good few thousand simply won't go to Leeds home games because it's had it's soul ripped out by Bates.. But away it's pretty much sold out every allocation whatever the allocation (know owls are pretty similiar on that).. Sure the added presence of a warnock who I am finally Warming too will had some spice to the occasion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
