SiJ Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 On Saturday, I paid £31.00? to sit in the North Stand. That is with a £5.00 reduction as I have a Membership. £31.00 (£36.00) to watch a bunch of multi millionaires take the pi55 for 90 minutes. No thanks.

Rogers Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 56 minutes ago, Blatter said: They are the epitome of a well run football club, plus they are somehow managing to finance the building of a new stadium. The new stadium will generate more money in the long run, includes 910 new homes in the area and other community regeneration. https://newstadium.brentfordfc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 It never ceases to amaze me how aggressively some of our fans defend being ripped off I always imagine them going into shops, and getting really angry when theres a sale on, and demanding to be charged full price...

What does commercial side of the business mean? Seems a very sweeping statement local advertising and local sponsorship wasn't bringing enough money in. I agree ticket prices need revisiting as he has now come to an enpass. Your idea may well work but it will take time and fans will fall away in the meantime.

Love Brentfords model. The fans are on board they are on the crest of a wave. Its taken a few seasons and its paying off but their fans have a lower expectations and even getting to this point is a dream come true. Would our fans have been so patient? Like I said you might well be right and I wish that DC outlined at the start that he wanted to get the club back in the Prem in certain number of years what ever path he took lower or high prices. We had lower prices before DC and it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we manage to survive as a championship club over the next 18 months and maintain crowds above 20k it will be a massive achievement from where we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 22 minutes ago, Inspector Lestrade said: Fair enough but what price would tempt you back for the same seat? I don't expect us to charge crazily low prices. The prices for the South and North are too high right now. I think the South is often in the £40.00 bracket without membership and is in the high 30s with it. It is far too much, particularly when we are getting served up dross like that on a pretty much weekly basis atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members, non members, 1867 scheme, Gold members, silver members, 10 year season tickets, 3 year season tickets. Why is it so complex to come and watch us?
