asteener1867 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What would people do if the season ticket prices went up 10% and were to be renewed before the end of the season? It seems so many people can find an excuse not to go these days (not talking about not being able to afford). It's sad how many of our fans just can't be arsed any more and will only go if they are guaranteed to see goals and wins. It's true, we only sing when we're winning! The ones that can't be arsed need tempting back...The ones that can't afford it..can do f.ook all about it...and I honestly know where they are comin' from..cos Ive been there.. So waddya do to entice both dynamics back....?..make it bloody affordable........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been happy to do that, but I just hope it doesn't rise to much. I'm 17 and I've got £240 saved for the season ticket. If what you say happens I'll be ok but if it goes up £40 and is due by the end of the month I'm going to have to blag the rest off someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team is winning the ones who can't be arsed will come back in droves and the ones who can't afford will find a way. Reducing prices will get a few people back but not enough. Just look at the gates when tickets are £10, hardly breaking records. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I've got mates who can't afford to go to their respective teams, but when they get a plum cup draw they show up. There are levels of "can't afford". Just not bothered...

But there aren't that many of them I don't think. You just have to look at the Wycombe game to see that. Plenty who fancy a day out to see us win. We can't rely on them. Just not bothered...

PopePiusX Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm surprised he still has to visit, surely he'd have been given residency. Unless it's for tax domicile reasons. Not that Leeds would know anything about that, having been owned by a million people in the British Virgin Islands all of whom definitely weren't Ken Bates.

I reckon you have to keep football affordable mate...not a choice between either football or this an' that..It should be football as well as this an' that... The game is been taken away from your average football fan, because he now has to maybe make a choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what wee wees me off all those who cant afford it but then could if we drew Man Utd in cup etc, Some geniunley cant but vast majority really mean cant be arsed id rather buy fags/booze or spend saturdays in bookies. Above said i do agree that football is over priced at all levels these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 JV has NEVER EVER been a good poster. I disagree, before this season, I valued his posts in here, seemed to know his stuff and offered another outsider view. Quite amusing watching it all unravel though I must admit, must be a tough season for them if they were all expecting playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 I get sob stories of blokes that cant afford to take their lad unless its kids for a quid, yet they go to watch Man City three or four times a season because its premiership football, with better players, and a good ground. I bet others on here know people like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
