Bluey9 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 been on Bristol citys fan forum site to see what there views are regarding prices for game against us . they are fuming about paying £39, hardly any of them coming now. same happened to us when dirty leeds charged us that much and only 1000 went when we could easy take 5000 there. maybe police next season where going to charge us 10 million so to keep police costs down we price everyone out of coming .

Justbeanz Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 A team with 6k pigs backing them v a team with foook all fans backing them? Winning v a good atmosphere? I know what I'd choose, not really baffling. Do you go to away matches by any chance. Would you rather football become an home fans only sport then ? Applying your logic should all clubs take up the stance of pricing out away fans because it gives the opposition some sort of advantage ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluey9 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 At last we are going to be able to charge away fans the same as our own fans It's been a disgrace and cost the club thousands over the years when we've had to offer discounted tickets to the away fans because of the state of the West Stand.

Guest Maxine Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I go on a Hull City Forum They too won't be coming to Hillsborough. I suspect it's the same for many teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham67 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I don't give a flying f**k what any away fan thinks and does. What concerns me is how we're pricing loyal Wednesdayites out of watching the club they love. I was really excited about the new season. This has totally deflated me.

swfc-dan Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We should boycott and damage the club? It isnt about damaging the club. Many people cant afford and others just dont feel its value for money for 90 mins of football and they are totally right. Like whqt Chansiris done this summer but these ticket pride hikes are a big cockup, just hope he realises his error soon enough. He will I think when he sees the attendances we are getting. It could all be to get fans to buy season tickets but then it should mean reducing season ticket prices a little not hiking regular tickets way up!

alanharper Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 At last we are going to be able to charge away fans the same as our own fans It's been a disgrace and cost the club thousands over the years when we've had to offer discounted tickets to the away fans because of the state of the West Stand. Where has this idea come from? Away fans have been charged the same as the equivalent view. ie Kop, as the home fans, they don't get any "discount". Nothing to do with the state of the West Stand, in case you haven't noticed it's still a s**thole, but now we're charging away fans a higher price to sit in the s**thole.

swfc-dan Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If you sell 5000 tickets at 20 quid that's 100k if you sell 1000 at 39 quid that's 39k it's daft Simple maths but I agree in principle. Really do not understand the marketing strategy of such a price rise, if we kept prices the same we could have much bigger walk up attendances this year if we are going well and there is a buzz. Now I fear attendances will be fairly low no matter how good the results, cant blame fans at all. Really poor marketing deciaion this, will make the club less money not more as they are pricing ao mny potential walk up fans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A Baracus Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Do you go to away matches by any chance. Would you rather football become an home fans only sport then ? Applying your logic should all clubs take up the stance of pricing out away fans because it gives the opposition some sort of advantage ? Wow, talk about losing the point! I've not mentioned anything of the sort. Away fans have to pay the same as home fans therefore if I wanted away fans pricing out then I'd want home fans pricing out....that would make it a non-spectator sport...yeah I really want that. My response was to a post that said "the more away fans in the ground the better". From a match point of view, the more away fans behind the away team the more likely they are to play better thus making our teams task of beating them harder, therefore I'd say the less away fans in the ground the better. From a revenue point of view, the more fans the better but I'd rather have 3 points and get promoted. It's not that difficult to understand. Absolutely nothing to do with prices. B.A. Baracus will be ecstatic then. Numpty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your response was to a post that said "the more fans in the away end the better, it brings the noise out and adds to the atmosphere". You missed out the important last bit. You're saying the less fans the better from an atmosphere point of view because it gives the opposition an advantage. So on that basis an ideal situation for you would be to have no away fans. Of course it has to do with the prices, the more it costs at the minute the lower the following both home and away thus less atmosphere in the ground. I, like many others like a good edgy atmosphere and believe it brings out the best in both teams. Sterile grounds might be your idea of a good day out but not mine. I'll give the name calling a miss mate, I don't play games like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to games to support us and watch us win. Not sing, bait, banter with away fans. Couldn't give a flying foook how many are in the away end but naturally, the less away fans the better for the team.

Couldn't give a flying foook how many are in the away end but naturally, the less away fans the better for the team. Not sure about the baiting but I have to admit to liking a song and a bit of banter, it's always been about this for me. I can do that and still support the team you see. I think your point about there being enough noise and atmosphere from the home end with no away support is very debatable, I haven't seen anything in the last few years to justify that. Anyway let's agree to disagree, you like your footie the South Stand way (not saying that's where you sit) and I like my footie with a bit of edge the North Stand way. Whatever the argument higher prices will definitely price out some of the hard core fans. Yes they may be replaced but the dynamic of the football supporter is, I fear going to swing your way.

I bet they don't bring anywhere near the 6k they brought about 10 years ago when they were going for promotion. A late winner from Graeme Lee shut them up iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
