There must be hundreds of clubs in and around Sheffield that would love to do something at half time, we could invite them to perform and give them free tickets to secure future fans. I'm thinking of Boys Brigade Bands,Air Cadets displays, sea cadets marching, Scout troops displays, youth jazz orchestras, dance groups, choirs, gymnast displays, junior pop bands, all sorts of things. They could entertain the crowd for free, they would get confidence and practice their discipline, and maybe become Owls fans. Great idea. Problem is most kids don't join clubs now, they just play Xbox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure they are doing it at the minute Fair enough mate. As said, I consider the price I pay for a season ticket to be reasonable, I wouldn't say I am 'well off' but it is just something I have always budgeted for since my parents stopped buying me seasons tickets for my birthday when I was a lad many moons ago. Your point about people who would go to 15ish games a season not seeing a season ticket as value for money based on the matches they would have to miss for work, travel etc is not something I have overly considered as I've been fortunate enough not to be in that position but can see where you are coming from. The current match day prices would certainly make me think twice about going to games if I didn't have a season ticket and it would then be a decision on whether a season ticket would be worth it if other commitments meant I had to miss half a dozen games or so.

If you haven’t been for 18 months - if you saved just over £2 a month you could have gone. Maybe next year I can afford to go That's not the point Its not worth the effort or cost of a ticket to watch the sh!t we are getting Its to predictable Same old tactics and players that have failed time and time again And the atmosphere is absolutely terrible Is it really value for money at £38 a ticket?

That doesn't bother me We could play any kind of football and I'd still go. I go to watch Wednesday Problem is that for the same price I can do way more things and watch it on IFollow!

In our 2018 accounts (not taking into account any ground sale!) we had turnover of just over £25M of which £18M was attributed to match receipts and other associated income and £7M was commercial activities. In this breakdown I would imagine that TV money is included within match receipts but gate money and associated match day sales still form a significant amount of income until the TV money becomes astronomical in the PL.

Thanks So it's huge which means changing ticket prices is almost impossible without another new income stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I think we can all agree it’s too much. DC needs to review season ticket prices and more importantly match day prices next season. Need to get the fans back on side. It’s been like a morgue at Hillsborough this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are paying for the clubs mistakes DC would rather pay very average footballers huge amounts than give supporters reasonably priced tickets to support their own club We pay ridiculous amounts and they still can’t stick within the rules The club don’t deserve the support they get on so many levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 6 hours ago, LSOwls said: 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 Not really pants, average is around 23,000 which isn't bad considering price of tickets and football isn't owt special, results wise we're doing ok but I don't think I could name a single game this season where we've been dominant for full 90 minutes. Even big away wins at Boro and Forest we just went through motions in second halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Up and down the country real football fans admire and compliment our away following. Many premier league fans say they would like us back... unfortunately we don’t win points for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 How refreshing it would be to have the same dedication on the pitch.
