Whichever way you spin this we are playing football in half empty decaying stadium, in court as a result of ffp issues and staring down the barrel of League 1 due to a possible points deduction. That’s the facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few on here just add smilies. I think some subjects are a bit deep and intellectual for them. Can someone start a thread on Ozzie Owl or Cakeball that they can get stuck into? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facts are that we've been the same for the last 20 years and in all the time you've been on here you've slagged the club off...FFP is just the latest stick to beat the club with...vulva by name...

No, most Wednesday fans who go have season tickets. Most Wednesdayites do not by some distance. If you think selling 2k tickets each game (outside of season tickets) isn't a problem then we have wildy differing views on our ambition for Wednesday. 3 hours ago, bigthinrob said: And please don't tout the usual cr*p that "if ticket prices were cheaper we'd fill the ground". Never did. Never would 3 hours ago, bigthinrob said: The other night if tickets had been a tenner a piece, I bet there wouldn't have been an extra 500 turn out. Pure guesswork, neither you or I know if there'd be n extra 500 or 50000. I know I'd have gone. 3 hours ago, bigthinrob said: On the other hand if it was a play off leg and prices were the same (or more) the ground would be full. Crowds are mainly dictated by what's happening on the field & massively less so by prices. Yeah, I said that in my original post "We are playing poorly" 3 hours ago, bigthinrob said: The 'moral' case around pricing is open to argument but i'm not convinced the economic argument is. I agree, I actually think if you lower prices you lose income. IE: I don't think you'd get the number in the door needed to cover the lower prices. The problem with that is its a short term view. If we continue to charge top whack for POTG tickets we lose fans who go which is devastating to the club. When you've broken the habit its hard to get back into it; particularly when you can watch at home for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Turpin Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 6 hours ago, bigthinrob said: I was responding to the argument that ALL prices were extortionate. I argued season tickets on the Kop @ £20 were clearly NOT extortionate. I used the fact that £20 was the default acceptable amount according to the "Twenty is plenty" lobby which seems to validate my point that £20 is therefore clearly not "extortionate", regardless of the fact they are talking about MAXIMUM pricing. If £20 is the 'acceptable' amount, it clearly cannot at the same time be classed as "extortionate" by people who want to generalise & exaggerate about pricing. The cost of POTG at S6 is a separate argument, but it is far more convenient to generalise on pricing across the board to enhance the "ALL Pricing is extortionate" argument. It’s expensive for a season ticket in the cheapest part of the ground. It may not be “extortionate” but it means twenty’s plenty can’t apply anywhere else of STs or POTG. It should be the most expensive ST not the cheapest. And to to sum it up no flipping Hendos in the North Stand today. This pathetic owner does not understand Sheffielders.

Ever thought of becoming a Barrister? On second thoughts you'd probably be incapable of understanding a brief & sticking to one argument. How you equate me arguing that £20 on the Kop "isn't extortionate" to "telling everyone everything is great" about sums up your style of contribution on here.

vulva Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The same people defending the pricing are the same ones that gave DC a standing ovation at the last fans forum when he said we had a better team than United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I’ve had a rethink and I think the ST prices are too high and in percentage terms they are extortionate - which is after all a subjective term. There’s no definitive statistical cut off.
