Smaller clubs have smaller grounds so can accommodate fewer fans. Bigger clubs can accommodate more and will attract a larger following. So big club comes to you and you can only give them 2k tickets because of stadium size. When you travel away they can accommodate 5k of your fans. Big club...

Potentially unfairly. You take 2000 fans to them, they bring 200 to you. You've lost out.

As I said the fact that the host club incurs costs in accommodating the fans they should get more. A football match is entertainment that is made up by two teams playing. If one is not there there is nothing to watch. So why should one team keep all the revenue just because they're hosting...

Read it again. It doesn't say that people wouldn't go if they were aware the club got no money. I'm sure there are a fair number who know this. But they go because they enjoy the day out and atmosphere. I ask whether it's sensible to do it given you're basically giving money to your competitors.

Two separate things. First is that this match package is poorly priced and offers little incentive to buy one. The different pricing categories seems to have complicated the pricing of them and made it uncertain whether it is good value (Cat A yes, Cat B not really, Cat C not at all). This is...

I agree with Grendel that the match packages are poorly priced and at most should be the same price as the cheapest game.

If someone's making that late a decision on whether to go or not and can't be arsed with it they can pay the matchday price on the gate.

OK, maybe misleading is a better word.

I put at the bottom that afterwards I realised you were putting your own price of £20 rather than the actual £24, so it would either be the same price at Cat C. As I said it's technically true but it's disingenuous. Yes, there is a saving of up to £10 per match. But that's only for 6 out of 23...

It's not exactly rocket science is it. Paint whatever you do in the best possible light even it's disingenuous. Rely on people not paying attention or being a bit stupid. You're on about marketing of ST and match packages as the price per game and the saving from it. When ST's are put on sale...

It's just fairer isn't it though. If a club takes loads of away fans they get nothing financially from that. It asks the question why go to away games when you're just giving money to your rivals? You can talk about the support they give but then why not practically give tickets away for home...

That could have a negative effect as fans would feel like the club are pulling a fast one given that only 6 of the 23 games would be a decent saving. There's 5 cat C which would be spending £4 extra. It'd be a PR nightmare as it comes across as disingenuous and treating the fans like idiots...

So they get better support at the game. Statistically you're still more likely to lose an away game and your fans will almost certainly be outnumbered (even though away fans tend to make more noise). If you think about it you take a huge following to away games you're effectively giving your...

I think that'd put people off having the jab.

Always felt the revenue from away sales should be split more evenly between the clubs. Seems like a lot of work for a club to help their fans go to away games for little benefit. What's the point of a club having a massive away following if they get very little from it financially?

But if the system does that where does the person sit? I thought the rules said each fan had to have an allocated seat (unless terraced which we aren't)? I'd assume you'd have to get the voucher swapped for an actual match ticket at some point, either at the ticket office or at the turnstile...

I think you've answered the question. He's in the cabinet BECAUSE he's a c***. It's a prerequisite. If you're not a knob you can't have the job.

One for the ladies. Help Out To Get Eat Out. Have the jab and you get tongued by the celebrity of your choice

If we got rid of those I'd want a more long term solution than Cranie. We're already having to have one eye on finding someone to replace Fadz over the next year or two. Don't really want to be having to look at replacing another at the same time.
