I'm talking about those that become a ''fan'' when we do well, those that can afford to spend £400.00 on a weekend to Wembley etc We have supposedly a huge fan base - lets prove it!

Rebowl Yell Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 We’ll get about 27k on Satdi and we’ll have the TrueFans kicking off about how the chairman is justified in ripping the fans off when we all know the attendance would be in the low 20’s if the prices were around 30 odd quid like normal.

It’s always vibrant, bouncing and awe inspiring. Norwich last day of the season, Wycombe last day before we went up and Arsenal in the cup all amazing days with the ground packed to the rafters. But now we have POTG’ers totally disincentivized from going because of the pricing policy and a fanbase that EXPECTS purely because we were told that’s why we were paying through the nose. Anybkdy should have been able to see that the moment things started going wrong our pricing policy would be massively called into question but yet we all sleepwalked into this by not sticking up for fellow fans while the going was relatively good. Have we as a fanbase reaped what we have sown in some way? Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't, but instead was showing POTG, which is falling. And the empty seats normally housing Season ticket holders, showing a general lack of interest.

Did cause me any offence.. thankfully i'm not at the level.. but not at the level to spunk £40 a game either.. I've been at the level, i worked as a steward during the mid 90's just so i could watch the match or be there, when cash was very tight when the kids were young. So yeah don't waste money on the football when you have other priorities.. but I'd imagine at £20 etc maybe an older father / mother would dip into their pocket to bring them. Or bring the U21 year old's along for a £5.. or the kids who are saving up deposits for house's living with parents.. etc etc etc.. Just increase the incentives for the remaining 5 home games Bolton (h) Preston (h) Fulham (h) Reading (h) Norwich (h) None of which are stadium fillers and all should be discounted.. cause they team needs the support.

You couldn’t care less and from reading what you put it seems you lack empathy and understanding for other people’s situation. In on an earlier post you suggest people who struggle for money should stay away from football. By that logic anyone short of money should just lock themselves away, lights off (don’t wanna waste electricity), in the cold, eating a raw tin of beans for dinner. Can’t waste a penny on anything other than essentials. Just because people don’t have as much money as you obviously have doesn’t mean they should miss out on things in life. Granted there’s obviously a line. But a working man not being able to take his family to a football match means something is wrong with the club or football culture in general. Im currently lucky enough I can just about afford to attend games if I wish. Not always the case. But our chairman has taken that away from lots of loyal owls. I woukdvt be be surprised if Chansiri comes across as the Grinch who stole Christmas to some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a right to go anywhere you want - it's just how things work! ''But a working man not being able to take his family to a football match means something is wrong with the club or football culture in general.'' All i am is a working man with kids, a wife a house etc. £40.00 for a match is a disgrace - DC should be booted out of football for it. £20.00 is ok i think - thats all i'm saying - if you have an average wage, lifestyle etc - IF IF IF you are bothered about football/Wednesday then you go on Saturday Those that are in that bracket but don't go - are just not bothered - which is fair enough! But people can't moan when DC doesn't cut prices cus he will be correct in stating it's not worth it!!! So my original point of any part timer that can make it on Saturday really should make the effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Wembley is a one off event so people push out the boat, bit like Stones charging imo ridiculous prices, it's an event of a lifetime. Paying money to watch Burton, Brum, Ipswich turn up in a cold and outdated environment take the wee wee is certainly not a positive "experience" Edited March 7, 2018 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I did a charity event Saturday night and auctioned 2 tickets for Wednesday and 2 for United. The tickets for United worth for any game until end of season. Fetched £50. The tickets for Wednesday came with stipulations - can't be used in the last 2 home games, value of £25 each only so you would have to put the rest to on higher priced games. Fetched £12 for the pair. Its 2 tickets for a charity eventand we can't even do that right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
