Philb125 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Am I wrong to assume this is as much about how well we’re supported away from home than it is a revenge plot? I mean if we only took a coach load, charging their own fans £40 cheapest tickets be a bit of a disaster. But fact we are the biggest or if not one of the biggest away followings in the league means up your prices that game for a quick win financially. Just a thought.

Night King Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Still think the best thing to do would be that clubs agree what they are going to charge each other’s fans before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I know we like to joke that we're massive and all that, but we're not that big of a draw to warrant us being an A+ game are we? Same with leeds really. Both clubs fans are constantly told by others that we aren't famous anymore, we're not that big. Seems odd to me that us 2 are the teams that Blackburn see as the 2 biggest games for them this season. Not looked but do we play them on a significant date? That could explain it. It's cos we travel in numbers I know, be a shame if we only took up a handful of tickets. Big crowds don't get you any points, another fact we're told. So how about we don't go to this one and use it as a test of that theory? If we lose then we'll turn up the game after and we've only missed out on 1 games worth of points. If we win then it proves the theory has no basis so we may as well turn up to the next game as our being there has no effect either way. Its like a science test really.

Its most probably down to the fact that we both have a reputation for ripping away fans off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know that they’ll still get around 3k coming even at these prices - Leeds will still take 5-6k No point putting £40 tickets on sale to Brentford - who would be lucky to take 500 if it was free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ok as £20 or £40 are not really material values to someone with his background and resources Whereas for most of the fan base it’s a significant difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Surely the away fans get to pay the same price as the home supporters cheapest ticket. For example the away dudes at Hillsborough pay the same as we pay on the kop. Therefore price for away fans at Blackburn should be at the £36 "Riverside" rate.

Sweet Shezza Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 If we boycotted the game, they wouldn't charge it the following year. Simply refuse to pay what Blackburn is asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
