royalowlisback Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 16 minutes ago, The_Limit_Owl said: All the top 6 last season. Then Brentford, Forest, Derby, QPR, Stoke even Millwall off the top, were the same as us, then we were on a par with a raft of clubs, the only ones with lower pricing were Luton, the dingle gimps and a couple of others. I'm talking home fans there, couldn't give a squeaky sheite what we charge away fans. We charge away fans the same as we charge home fans for Kop tickets (our cheapest stand, and similar view), as per football league rules. If our prices for away fans are at the very top of the spectrum, then how can our home tickets not be at the top as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought number 5 was for a defender in the old days? Probably at least one versatile type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWEDFM Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Feeling positive as I usually do before a new season but looking at that squad list is scary. To think it wasn't that long ago we had Forestieri, Joao, Fletcher, Hooper up top and now we only have Rhodes as an out and out striker Happy with our signings so far and I do think we'll overcome the -12 to stay up but we desperately need some more firepower Chris Martin would have been a bloody good start on a free but he's joined Bristol City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 That is West Brom's matchday prices for last season, the first team I have looked at. https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2019/july/matchday-ticket-prices-frozen-for-201920 Pretty sure they finished in the top 6? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Just now, The_Limit_Owl said: Yes I did, it says AWAY tickets if I'm not mistaken? Really don't give a flip what we charge away supporters! Fact is, our HOME prices are bang average to be fair, other clubs their fans more, for HOME games. We charge away supporters the same as we do on the Kop - so whether you care what we charge them or not, it proves that we are right up at the top of the home prices as well, especially since the top 2 have now been promoted as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Just now, The_Limit_Owl said: Based on Kop prices alone??!? The top two were playing in THE SAME league for crying out loud, now you're mivin the goalposts!!!! Carry on peddling the myth though eh! Think your panicking a bit now, because a thread about Shirt Numbers, that YOU turned into a thread about ticket prices, has backfired on you. The Kop price is in relation to the exact same price we charge for away supporters as per football league rules, based on the same view etc. The prices in other stands are usually about £3 higher on the North and £5 Higher on the South. So 20 clubs charged lower prices than us last season, yet it is a myth about our ticket prices? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. You asked for facts, they are there, now you want to ignore them because they don't suit. It has been proven that it is not a myth, and that you peddling some type of strange propaganda rubbish.

I travel all over the country, like many do and ive seen other club's pricing at first hand, on their turnstiles, in their programmes and online, believe me, if you'd seen them you'd agree that people saying we have the highest priced in the league are just picking up on that narrative that spawned from the Bristol City game in Aug 2015. And our ST's are reasonably priced too, dont get sucked into the myth! And stop guessing at stuff and passing it off as fact! The facts are on the table that Hookowl provided, in black and white. No guessing involved. Are you really Neil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you just guessed at the home prices based on random numbers. Am I on a virtual Candid Camera here, are you winding me up? Jesus wept, I didn't think it would be this flamin hard! Which are exactly the same as the home prices, as per EFL rules. Not difficult to understand really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrmason69 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 What about Ben Hughes squad number. Or is he on the blacklist? The owners son (he's in charge of contracts now) have him a new contract and he probably will never be seen again. He's an excellent player so that may be why he's not allowed to play with illustrious signings whom average 5 goals a season. What a shambles. Gm had absolutely no intention of playing him last season when the season restarted. Or maybe he just wasn't allowed to play him after orders from the almighty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. Section 5 Fixtures of the current EFL Rules state under 34.3.8 that away supporters cannot be charged more than home supporters for comparable accommodation. So the price on our Kop is the same as on the Leppings Lane End for away fans. Any more myths you would like to peddle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
