horny owl Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 There's a limit to what people will pay I begrudgingly paid £39 on the opening day of the season But happily blew £200 away at Brentford last week I'll also happily pay to go to the Arsenal game But I bet I'll only stump up to pay to go to Hillsborough another 2 or 3 times this season It's too expensive and it needs sorting out.

BD2OWL Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Interestingly and I'll post this as kivo hasn't, I mean why would he it doesn't support his argument, but.... When we last played Preston at home (2012) there was only 18,000 there. I believe this game was on tv so let's assume we lost 2,000 to sky. That says crowds are about the same. Carry on winning games and the fairweather fans will want some of the action..... Edited October 4, 2015 by BD2OWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know that some season ticket holders missed out on this game, but you who will only go to S6 a hand full of times managed to get a ticket. Now that's a wee wee take.

Guest Deleted member Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Lots of the fans think the ticket pricing is wrong Lots of the clubs staff (many who are also fans) think the ticket pricing is wrong Lots of visiting teams fans think the ticket pricing is wrong Lots of commentators in the national press/media think the ticket pricing is wrong Fans organisations like Supporters Direct and the FSF think the ticket pricing is wrong About a dozen fans on here are thoroughly delighted with our ticket pricing and are happy to abuse anybody that questions it.

james o connor Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 They can't find £100-£150 over a season? 30 - 35 quid a game is yes, whether you can afford it or not it's second division football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD2OWL Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Oh sorry yeah cos our crowds went up 50,000 when we got promoted. It will have also been 20 quid and our promotion season. A few weeks later there were 40,000 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 on average how much does your round of golf cost you it depends on how many clubs i dispatch on the way around... no seriously sub £20 if a can... i won't pay over £25... and what's 18 holes last in comparison to 94 minutes footy?

Carry on winning games and the fairweather fans will want some of the action..... that's true... however with this season being a season of expected 'transition'... it seems to me, the pricing policy needed to have been somewhat less, and a hell of a lot simpler... no one should be paying above £40 for a game at hillsborough unless we make the playoff's... we'd have been up in arms if it happened at lane, or bellend ruwad...

Guest WESTENDOWL Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Its a case of cant pay wont pay Some fans will pay whatever the cost and cut back on other things, some fans cant pay because they cant cut back on other things and some fans wont pay because they don't think its value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how good a golfer you are So if a good golfer goes round in par and one goes round 20 over does he have to pay more for being on the course longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 where's the abuse Please tell you haven't read through all the threads if you haven't seen any...
