We are, but there are many reasons why we are selling more than ever.

Would suggest that more people than ever think the tickets are value for money.

How many people are actually paying £45 against Birmingham though? It will be really interesting to see the overall attendance. At £37 it would likely sell out completely.

The irony of Anthony Bla Bla Bla Hornsby moaning that King isn’t hosting the forum live yet failing to realise that the last live forum ( post Robins ) was hijacked by people trying to stick it to Kjng and get their 15 mins of fame, including the CWR shower.

After that he was never going to give the BBC the opportunity to host it again …..

Ultimately, I don't like us charging £45 for home or away fans to be honest. The issue about what others think should be added to the question to emphasize the issue.

If Doug doesn't care, then fair enough. He'll keep charging those prices and add more teams to the list paying £37-45.

I agree with the first sentence.

My issue is Birmingham fans thinking they should get some sort of special exemption

This is our problem, our fans are being charged it too.

‘But they sold’. Can’t believe people are condoning it with this.

Im sure it would sell out for free too. The match day tickets are high but the fact is we’ve got record crowds so you can’t really complain cos clearly it’s being priced appropriately.

Is there a special hoist system installed in your trousers to carry those massive bollocks around or do you have another system?

Then that should be the basis of our complaint.
Not because fans of other clubs are upset

Why are they some of, if not the highest in the division? That's what I want to know from Doug. It's not like they are subsidising season tickets, because they are no longer that cheap.

It's not like we are completely selling out each week either. We've still got 3000 empty seats each week and that's for early season games. I'm sure that number will increase into the winter.

When they originally announced the Cat A+ games, I thought that would be exclusively to Birmingham and Leicester but the addition of the West Brom game suggests we may see it for the likes of Boxing Day and the final game of the season.

It is the basis, the point I originally made was that extra emphasis should be added in the form of mentioning the condemnation from other supporters.

Our own club kicked up a fuss for Leeds doing the same!

They sang 'Who's the wanker in my seat' when we played them in our 'home' game in cup at St.Andrews!

Blues game will sell out and then it’s pretty much impossible to tell a businessman he’s priced something too high when demand outstrips supply.

problem is its supply and demand, If people don't agree with the pricing then boycott it. Prices will come down then. If we were down to say - 24,000 on the bimingham game, there would be a rething. Likelyhood is - its going to be 29k plus meaning Doug has been vindicated.

Its morally wrong, I'm assuming that given theres 24000 season ticket holders, there is space for 3000 home fans? Its based on whatever those fans are willing to pay. Whilst the team is doing well, prices take a back seat.

In practice capacity is about 31.5k.
So about 2k empty seats, 1k of which have been in the away end, with about 800 on the balcony.

The number of standard empty seats has just been a few hundred

A lot clearly didn't show up in the first couple of games. Definitely not 29k.

Time will tell with the West Brom game.

I'm also not certain the Blues game will sell out, but we'll see.
