Another poster has just said it was £42 on North Saturday against arguably the biggest team in league, that would be £52 for a Dad and 2 kids, come on Neil, how much would thatbof been 10 years ago? I’d be amazed if you got much change from a 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch films with nuanced performances and indefinite outcomes. However... I have been known to be roaring and rocking with the kids on a Christmas Eve to a Spielberg or a Disney. And I always say..

sonofbert2 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Football is too expensive but at any price it can never be guaranteed to be exciting or entertaining as an actual, one off event. It is a one off piece of drama that is built from current position, previous results, available players, history with the opposition, the ref, the weather, basically 90 minutes in the moment with baggage. Nothing else is comparable unless you have no loyalty or feel ownership and emotion to the team, club and outcome. It's why they have got a large chunk of us by theballs.

I’d be amazed if you got much change from a 50 You know what I mean though If a family can afford to go to one game every now and again they'll choose something like playing Sheffield United and Wolves not Swansea at home to watch the reserves etc It's just down to what they think will be the best/most exciting and most 'gotta be there for that one' game Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only went because it was cheap then you've just described yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand how some fans can't get their heads around it... Football has moved on..... The majority of us are still caught up in the Romance of The Wednesday..I am and make no apologies for it, but I'm not naive enough to think the club don't take advantage of that...They have little or no understanding of it. Mr Chansiri will beat the "Wednesday family " drum..He's no idea what that means..really he hasn't...I don't blame him for it....He's bought the club....He has to do what he thinks is right.... But I don't fall for he rubbish..same as some bloody player kissing the badge then f.ookin' off to Chelsea the week after....I know it for what it is Me and my lads used to be season ticket holders Can't afford it now due to rising travel costs and ridiculous POTG price Tell you what though mate it breaks my heart not being able to attend games anymore and I don't feel part of this great big Wednesday family Chansiri keeps telling us we are part of.

And yet their teams manage to be successful and get promoted so it's not simply true that the more money you spend on tickets as a fan the more successful your team is Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Chansiri gets another bite at the supporters cherry. If we show Notts forest type ambition after paying Wednesday type prices then he'll lose fans. He must know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millhouses Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Fair comparison, similar size clubs in the same part of the country. Too many of our supporters are happy to let DC screw us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the same comparison with a blade I know who claimed he wasn’t going to the derby cus of what we were charging, turned out in most cases (different stands etc) it was actually cheaper for a Dad and 2 kids to attend the derby at Hillsboro than their home game against Wolves the week after, bet the Star didn’t print that tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we weren't one of the most expensive teams in the country to watch, we'd have really struggled this season. We could even have ended up buying reserve full backs from division 1 teams.
