This is weird projection. Go outside for a bit.
Been outside plenty, factor fifty on. Not surprised people can't see the bigger picture but still frustrating that some can't accept that setting the detail aside, it looks sh*t and isn't the way to maintain the momentum we've built. Raising prices when there's c.10k empty home seats every game isn't good business given it won't raise much more cash. If we were selling out big games last season, I'd understand it.
Why not have one less beer, or moan at the pubs for charging extortionate amounts for a pint? It's just a little odd that the football club seems to be taking a lot of criticism for charging the going rate for a Championship match.I think you’re missing the point, £30 was already quite pricy for a lot of people. It’s ok saying don’t by food and drink, park further away but part of the match day experience for most is a few beers, bite to eat ( not necessarily in the ground ). I’m not saying I won’t go when I can but it will make me think twice if money starts to get tight over the winter.
There is a weird feeling of entitlement and speed to be outraged going round the fanbase at the moment for things that really aren't that big a deal.
Looks shit to who?
How is it going to stop the momentum?
I'd be really surprised if clubs charging more weren't in areas with much higher avg. earnings etc. but our fans don't have to care about other clubs. Not like they have a choice about who they go and support based on price. People are annoyed about it. Folks on here can't get their heads around that so I'll leave it there. I can't be arsed to get in to the fine print or repeat myself.
You stopped getting your Wasps freebies or something?
Very relevant though
If you can't debate a topic without making personal jabs at someone you know nothing about, f*ck knows what you're doing running a forum.
Feels a little pricey to me £33. I don't get the it's only £3 argument either. If they make it £37 next year and £42 next years its easy to say each time its only a pint, but too me it's getting expensive.
I sort of feel £30 is the limit for Championship football...
ITs OnLY 3 quid .
Remember that when your dog food goes up 1.50 and your petrol another 30 p ... it's only 30 p , just 3 wham bars boys
It already has.
Not sure anybody is putting 1 litre of fuel in though.
You get the point , it's another expense ontop of everything else that's gone up .. People are getting a bit fed up with it all
For balance - nicked this off twitter;
The problem the club have is even if we accept that 33 is ok for a category A game as an adult .. the prices we charge for u18s seems very high , which makes it look alot worse .. it's not cheap watching coventry as a family
Category A that is
We also get bigger attendances than every single team on that list
If we take away brizzle and Cardiff we get thousands more fans in , yet to compensate Luton don't charge 50 quid do they
This is their Season Ticket prices though
Even with 2 year's loyalty it's £100 more than ours for an adult on Early Bird.
No freebies for the kid's either.
And although Luton's CAT A game is £3 cheaper, the CAT C's are £4 more expensive and the CAT B's are £2 more per game. If it wasn't Friday I'd compare them both over the season.
You win nick , can't be arsed I have a season ticket so whatever the crowds are don't really matter to me lol
Was only pointing out it's not as simple as just the top price for CAT A's for a few games a season.
To be fair , you've got an answer and alternative solution to every single point already in your head.. so it's easier to say we are cheap and that's that
