They can change prices at any time if they wanted, this is just a juggernaut on autopilot. Yep. Was it Derby who set some ticket prices on the day of the game dependent on weather?

They should be paying us The Villa price particularly will be designed to milk/deter away fans. One of Chansiri’s worst policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they life away from Sheffield etc etc? £40 a throw makes you 'consider' other things, i could half fill the petrol tank on the car for that.

axolotl Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm a pay on the dayer, and although I've been to many this season, I probably won't be going to many more for the remainder. I live in Coventry, have three young kids, and work shifts which means when I have been I've had to book annual leave to make it. Not particularly fussed if this makes me a Fairweather or not a TrueFan, but the expense, traveling, having to make arrangements with work, and barely seeing the kids on those days is a trade-off that I'm struggling to justify at the minute.

Lincs Owl Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I think we Shud av a gold silver bronze like other clubs. South stand.... £45 blades and Leeds to rip their fans off. £35 Villa forest derby wolves Barnsley hull etc £25 reading Burton Brentford qpr etc. Drop £5 for north and £10/5 for kop(min £20). However swans prices are fair, but folk will still not turn up. Presume they'll say they aren't going while Carlos is at Hillsborough. Might be our only sight of a Prem lge team for a few years.
