Robdoggery. Problem with reciprocal pricing is that, we usually take our full allocation or near enough, so they make money We lower our prices and 2 coaches turn up. Would wigan bring 1000 if we reduced our costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never cease to be amazed that football fans seem to think a multi-millionaire should buy the club, sink his fortune into it and p*ssoff when spent up, for the next multi-millionaire to step up to the plate.

Hmm many examples of sides with less money than we appear to have had , that play good attacking successful football You aren't suggesting we pay more than any other championship side to compete are you ? . Seems to me we are having to pay for the errors you stated and that is not right is it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the way of the world at most other grounds and where did anyone say they were special ? Yeah because loads of teams are reducing prices every year aren't they. And I didn't say lay down and take it. I said withdraw your support for the exploitation i.e. don't buy the stupid priced tickets! If nobody turns up they will have to rethink prices!

Our ticket prices aren’t the going rate pal I’d love to see us be successful Us paying sickening amounts to support our club and being successful don’t go hand in hand.

I remembered the question but couldn't remember where it was, Sooo ; I think Atdhe can be a genius when he turns on his footballing brain, often seeing passes which his teammates don't see or anticipate which makes the pass look awful. A couple of seasons back AN and FF seemed to have a bit of that ESP going on between them and they loved playing together, it'd be nice if that could blossom again. Then you see him in matches where his speed, or lack of makes it look as if he is putting in a half hearted effort for the club/ squad. Then he beats half the oppos team and scores a blinder, as against Preston from the corner; utterly subliminal. If any premier league player scored that goal we would still be seeing it in the opening credits for most footie programmes. All in all, and in answer to what I can remember of the question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR ATDHE NUHIU TO BITS.

But I never mentioned the application I sent in to the stir to be their new Sheffield Wednesday correspondent, FFS. Sinking to that level was lesson No.1.. Lesson No.2 is going to be about plagiarism and the last and main lesson will be on a subject titled, "Meck it up and chuck in a reference to '66 and a couple of old players names.

I guess if you are not happy paying 40 quind and want to save a few Bob, then you could still have a good day or matchday experience. I consider 40 quid worth it for an overall experience. It's only 40 at home with no ST anyway. As for the PL only charge 30 etc, maybe if we had that amount of TV money we would. Quality wise, for every good game in the Prem their is a poor one so not a massive difference from the games I see on TV. Enjoy the championship with its unpredictability, cant always say the same in the PL. Anyway all about opinions, prices, quality etc. As you say it's all about opinions. Mine fwiw is while the Championship is more interesting than the PL in the aspect that anybody can beat anybody else and you definetly can't pick the top 2 (often even the top 6) before a ball has been kicked in the Championship, the gulf in actual ability, skill, passing, dribbling, shooting etc is enormous. The level of football, especially from the top PL teams is far superior and therefore imo we are paying more for an inferior product than we would be to watch PL football (away from home). It doesn't really tally up to me. I'll keep saying it 40 quid for 2nd tier isn't right. Edited October 16, 2019 by OWL1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
