torres Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Leeds away sold out now. The support this club receives is unreal Nearly 2k for Brighton as well after Christmas, watching the second string is ridiculous The away support and 21k+ season ticket holders have to be applauded - sadly it seems they are taken for granted 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of the fans going to Brighton are London/southern based. I notice you still can’t help having a sly dig at the club. Have you got a new grief or is it the same old thing you’re whinging about? It’s a shame you can’t just stick to what would have been a positive post, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 If we are honest our home attendances are a bit pants (we all know why) given the size of the city. The longer people don't attend the more damage is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Double discount for members tomorrow, what is that going to achieve ffs?. Show some compassion, remaining seats anywhere in the ground 25 quid. I'm a season ticket holder but DC'S business acumen is dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting point - i.e season ticket prices are too high currently, sort them out and everything else can be sorted much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The home attendance is currently averaging at around 24k isn't it? Not including the 1st season with Carlos where it was around 27k this has pretty much been the same figure for the last 20 years regardless of cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that's too much, really? yes i do Mine is £28 per match at early bird prices in the south For people putting their money in up front the prices should be a lot lower I think we are in the top 3 cost wise. £28 should be the maximum potg price never mind what a season ticket works out at each match A lot of premier league clubs are cheaper than ours - how can that be right?

Leeds being the same size but only one team also pisspoor support. Even the London teams with 20 times the population and only a handful of Premier League teams also awful support.

Except for the majority of those 20 years we were garbage and never finished in the top half until 4 years ago Now we are pushing for promotion and as you say the crowds are just the same ( only much quieter) People such as me that had a season ticket for 20 odd years (before I finally had enough) are now out of the habit and will take some winning back ,and been thrown a Tuesday night *** bit isn't going to change that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
