Any attempt to treat the club like any other premium family entertainment option like a theme park is doomed to failure. Football clubs are supposed to be community assets and there has to be an ongoing consideration for inspiring new generations of people to attend, Harry Potter does not have this problem.We are always told that football fans are special, not just consumers or tourists
that's how football fans think. its not how the people who look at the finances think. you've got clubs at the top trying to reduce the number of season ticket holders so they can sell more tickets to day trippers on holiday at inflated prices ffs.Any attempt to treat the club like any other premium family entertainment option like a theme park is doomed to failure.

Fuck em its a total nonsense, attitude changed from me for a while. The more we keep paying the more the greedy cunts will charge . They’re kicking a fucking football round a pitch FFS !Gonna get shot down for this but. - Why do people think King is fleecing fans and club here.. where do they think the money is going?... new 5 mil pound players fees and their wages need paying somehow. TV revenue and kit sales are only part of the revenue stream. The costs of running the club I would expect are rapidly going up, as any business or household knows. We made a loss last year and may do this year too even with increased prices.
What's the alternative.. players wages cap, buy cheaper players and sell our best assets, that didn't work before did it. Or maybe we could shut parts of the ground or employ people who are willing to work for less than the market rate.
The prices are crazy high I agree from someone who used to pay cash into the west end and go to gigs for a few quid. But hey, I would rather spend over £400 on a season ticket to see my club than buy an inflated Oasis ticket or go to the O2 any day.

What will continue to grow?Premier League clubs have been treated this way for many years.
The Championship is following on.
Some Non-League clubs are thriving because of this. It will continue to grow.

season tickets have pretty much always been good value. But not everyone can justify them and the difference between £19 a game on the ST and £45 for a single match is a kick in the chops for many.Makes the season tickets prices look reasonable.
Season ticket fund?Fuck em its a total nonsense, attitude changed from me for a while. The more we keep paying the more the greedy cunts will charge . They’re kicking a fucking football round a pitch FFS !
I had an ST last year, can’t do that this year. It wasn’t so painful….I suggest people try getting to a match for 12.30 and then watching some half hearted performance for £90 with the whole day probably costing £150 , nah Fuck off Doug !

Our gates are historically high, Championship gates are thriving. There is no evidence of any price backlash.
I believe our policy of pricing is flawed, especially for the kids but Doug King has a duty to try and make the club both solvent and successful and the fans are backing him. I would wager the Birmingham and Leicester games would be sell outs at any price.
Fantastic. Crack on. Nobody cares.We just can’t justify those prices. So I’m afraid Doug my old fruit it will be the odd match when it’s cheaper, friendlies , league and cup matches maybe.
We’re not paying £90 for a pair of tickets to watch our useless front men amble around !

Hmm. Bless.Fantastic. Crack on. Nobody cares.
Or normal? The season tickets have a tipping point as well.
Yes the prices are extortionate. But If the games are selling out then hes justified in putting the prices up, as some idiots will pay it.
If not, then maybe he will lower them in future.
Supply and demand,
We can hardly moan when he's put his own hand in his pocket and invested heavily.
Those who bought season tickets have got great value, those who dont want to pay the premium can always find free ways to stream the games.
Fantastic. Crack on. Nobody cares.
Do you think I care what your thoughts are?Don't they?
Who made you the spokesman for everyone?
Put it bluntly.What will continue to grow?

Which bit didn't you understand?You haven't answered the question.
Not surprising.

I'm all for a special "sarc" button, or maybe we could have a dedicated font for all sarcastic posts. It would save a great deal of unpleasantness.Is that a new category/s/
