People have been moaning about ticket prices for several years

What’s kind? Expecting people to manage their own finances to suit their circumstances?

I think people need to decide if they want a competitive team or not. If you’re expecting Doug to fund all the costs associated with a decent team, whilst you pay 3 farthings for your ticket then you’re delusional

If you can’t afford something, don’t buy it. It’s as simple as that. Kids are our future, which is why there are around 18 home games this season where these high prices won’t apply. Anyone who can’t afford the A+ games can take their kids to these instead

I can't answer for other people. Its too expensive for me, hence why I choose not buy those tickets. I expect other people who can't afford it to also not buy them, and choose a different game. Those that can afford it will pay it. I've made it clear all along that I think those prices are...

I personally wouldn't regularly pay it, hence why I got a season ticket. If I couldn't make every game I would pick and choose, and choose the cheaper games

Watford isn't a Cat A game for them. Their highest adult tickets would be £37 if it was. Fair enough though, they are cheaper that us. And yet are currently getting lower crowds than us

Such as who?

Do we know what is average? I'm certain my point stands anyway. We certainly aren't being reckless with spending

Lets use Middlesbrough as an example to compare to Hypothetical 30k crowd. All at adult prices for ease of comparison. City cat A+ vs Boro cat A CCFC Standard season ticket income 24000 @ £19 = £456k Matchday ticket income 6k @ £45 = £270K Total ticket income = £726k MFC Standard season...

So its fine to fleece loyal season ticket holders but not the occasionals?

What is it then?

The cheapest Middlesbrough season was over £200 more than our standard ones

Our ticket revenue is almost certainly currently at the highest level in our history. Our wage bill is one of the lowest in the division We have a modern ground for which we receive all of the income. Yet we’re still making a loss. Why? Because the game has been completely distorted by the...
