Togetherness. How can one man pay £23 on South, yet his brother has to pay £43. There's no wawaw for potg fans. Potg days are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad to read things like that, but it's hard to argue against. I have a membership and still go when I can - mostly the Saturday games - but plenty of family and friends, some of whom were season ticket holders in the past, have stopped going due to the prices. Once people are out of the habit of going, it's going to take something special to tempt them back. The really sad thing is that currently the club don't seem interested in doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get out of the habit, its easy to stop going i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a ST for over 30 years , but if I didn't, or couldn't afford one , I wouldn't pay those POTD prices , not a chance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's about the other week when I was back in Sheffield and wanted to go with my dad who is a ST holder on the North? If it's not the 46 quid that puts me off can you tell me what else it was? It's definitely not his farts after a pie and bovril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds are obviously down at Hillsborough this season but Wednesday don't seem to want to do anything to address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 At the very least ST holders should get some sort of friends/family discount for limited games - tenner maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds are at an average level for us over the past 20 years. They've been similar every champ year. Only promotion or big games will rise it, unfortunately.
