Yes, cost us a fortune there last season too. In fact one of the cheapest was Sheff Utd if I remember.

They are, it's a wide problem with English football not just us. I think it was something like £26 to go watch us away at Peterborough the other week

Another wasps exclusive article....

Nothing to do with the fact they were playing some of the best rugby seen at the Butts for years. Nope.

Surely when looking at if prices are good for league one you compare them with league one prices? I think they about the same as most in league one.

As I said, I can't argue with you as you no doubt know better. I can only say how it felt to me and I haven't made an away game ( Northampton not counted ) since MK dons ( which was also in a good stadium ). TBF, in general everything seems expensive in England now because the Euro has gone down. I don't get to Holstein Kiel, 3. Liga, very often either because I work on match days, but I think it was 15,00 € standing last time I was there. Stadium is crap though. I got beer during the game from a wooden hut - as in the very distant past at Highfield Road. Kiel are doing well this year and should get promoted ( that would be 2. Bundesliga for the first time since the sixties ). I have a standing invitation to their VIP area now and will try and find time for their last home game. Could be exciting if Hamburg go down to the 2. Bundesliga as my pub is the official HSV pub in Kiel.... Derby games... Best news though would be if CCFC played Kiel pre season..... My pub has Coventry deco throughout.... And I hope it would be CCFC meeting place for the fanatics who make the pre season games ( someone suggest it, after all Kiel is the twin City of Coventry ).

Have you not seen the structure of the wasps and stadium ownership? I'm sure some would justify it just like they do SISU ..............

Credit where it's due?

Their hedge fund that move a team around the country on a whim is fine. Our hedge fund who move a team around the country on a whim isn't. See? Totally different.

Probably because of the Exclusive crap in the Telegraph. It isn't a franchise, but they moved to Coventry because there are more fans here than where they were. Means it is a fact.

Actually, yes it is totally different. We were in a stadium that is sought after by hedge funds and our hedge fund owners turned the situation around so much so that it now belongs to another hedge fund. Beat that for a cock up....

There's no honour amongst hedge funds. We should all know that by now. This was bound to happen.

Reminds me of somebody pinning somebody down to mug them but then they hear sirens so they run off, another person runs in while they are on the ground still and mug them. That is ok though it is the people who attempted who are worse.

They certainly ain't no better.

(edit) I forgot to ask. Was the first mugger holding a smoking gun?

I'm sure when they do a postcode check on your address it will show that the m6 was required #BANTS

Of course if admission was free along with a programme, food, beverages. If it was sunny every matchday and if we won comfortably every game then I'm sure some would still complain about something. You've only got to read this thread.

Of course the next complaint will be "I don't want to go to that game, I'm a CCFC fan I only go to one game a season!"

To go to another no doubt will require free hotel accommodation paid by the club and free tickets to the next wasps game. At least the latter can be secured very easily.

Don't forget they have to be carried to their seats too. None of this walking nonsense.
