mattitheowl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 What were the prices the season before out of interest? I don't feel like my season ticket has gone up significantly in ages. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been same since. Inflation rate over that period is about 11%. So well over rate of inflation despite the recent freezes. Shows you how much he put them initially - that first 2 year rise was about 10 times the inflation rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I can remember when first seeing the prices thinking that the supporters wouldn't stand for this and were surprised by how many people defended them. It did divide fans at the time but was smoothed over by the results improving after a few weeks. But once results went south the high prices were always going to be contentious.

With the hindsight of over 15 years I am not sure it would have made much difference in the long run if Ken Bates or Dave Allen was in charge.

I'm not shocked one little bit. Not that I agree with these prices like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny but mad max in IMAX was worth 5 of our most recent home games minimum. I may be shallow and lack that wtid mentality perhaps, but I am a floating voter still and my outlook is valuable. I will say this though, IF I am wrong about the cats and we have plenty at e I'll say sorry but I do not see it happening. On 16/07/2015 at 09:43, Cersei said: There is the factor you see of the blokes who have a principle cut off point and it's finally been met. Additionally the poor sods who would love to pay 30 quid to go, into a stadium with 20k empty seats for the first game. Additionally the lost chance to get 28k in the gates for the first game with a new team pitch and score board and get them in for the rest of the season. The average sheffield lad will go online in about 3 weeks, look at the price and say not for me. On 16/07/2015 at 09:47, Cersei said: Too cheap for too long? We haven't moved inline with the league? We have started charging more than half the PL. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was starting to think everyone had fainted or something. Doesn't look very appealing paying those prices, think I will watch the matches on twitter instead.
