Like many other people on here I have a season ticket for home games but buy tickets on a match by match basis for away games. We are affected by those ticket prices and it is a shame that our club is at the forefront of pushing pricing boundaries which other clubs will inevitably follow.

Football is not the same as the theatre. I enjoy going to plays and musicals but it’s a two or three times a year event, particularly as ticket prices are high. Football clubs depend upon the same group of people coming back up to 30 times in a year ( cup matches, friendlies etc). I’d say that...

Odd fact to state ( ie neither me or the majority of fans are affected by high price tickets) in a thread with heated arguments on the rights and wrongs of high ticket prices. Perhaps you could clarify what you meant?

H I had to look up straw man as I had no idea what it meant so I have learnt something from this conversation. You said ‘We're not as most of us don't go to away games. Therefore the price of away tickets doesn't affect the majority of us. Also the majority of us have season tickets so we are...

Would you not agree that the idea of, ‘I’m not bothered about match day prices or what an away fan pays as it doesn’t affect me’ is a bit selfish? For those who can’t afford a season ticket, and there will be many in this city who can’t, is it okay to say that if they want to go to an occasional...

You’ve just said that the £45 ticket is more than you would be prepared to pay

The point being made was that £45 ticket prices were needed to fund a push to the PL. In reality the difference made in profit between £45 tickets and £35 tickets won’t make that much difference to funds but it will put some people off coming to the games. The fact we’ve had only one sold out...

I’m glad I don’t use your chip shop

I would doubt that our chances of getting to the PL rest on the increased income gained from £45 seats over £35 seats. Have we had a sell out away section yet this season? I cant think of one. Could be a false economy charging more per ticket but ultimately selling less.

If he’d been good enough he wouldn’t have been dropped. He had plenty of chances to stake a claim and he either didn’t or couldn’t take them. His subsequent career shows that Robins was right

I was born in Coventry with Irish parents so I aleays class myself as Coventry Irish. However in every other way I would class myself as Irish. If your heart is green then there is nothing you can do about it.💚☘️

Millwall in 6th place with a negative goal difference

I think this might be the game. It was 1966.

I think your year might be a little bit out there. That game maybe 1965? I’ve seen some footage from that Match of the Day program and it’s really odd as I think they filmed the game from behind one of the goals?

I was also listening to that game. We lead twice and Bowles scored their winner in the last minute.
