This; the ‘race to the bottom’ ‘zero hour contracts’, monopolies by global corps, succession of stupid spineless U.K. govts taking it up the arse for decades.So much is wrong with America, why do the UK follow the US down the same miserable routes that create such an uneven and fractured society. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this sort of nonsense at the big 6 clubs in the Prem but doubt it will get as far down as the Coventry City’s .
There is already a version in Spain whereby pricing increases dramatically for the visit of Real and Atletico Madrid and Barca.
Not to mention a distribution facility for the Chinese manufacturers and a great source of income for our foreign owned energy companies. Add to that the playground of Arab, Russian and other dubious billionaires and we just about have it.This; the ‘race to the bottom’ ‘zero hour contracts’, monopolies by global corps, succession of stupid spineless U.K. govts taking it up the arse for decades.
Britain is barely a country anymore, merely an aircraft carrier for the us military/industrial complex.
I was just throwing numbers around...
As requested:
Average salary in Cov = £33k (per payscale.com)
Weekly = £635 (rounded)
Tax & NI = £126
Take Home Pay = £509
Ticket cost as a % of income = 7.3%
All this and they keep telling us we’re the 5th richest country in the world ‘like it’s something we should all be proud of.Not to mention a distribution facility for the Chinese manufacturers and a great source of income for our foreign owned energy companies.

Adele can't make extra tickets available by opening more blocks, but CCFC can. If Pete had got in in time, by definition somebody else and their kid(s) would have missed out, and now be having to pay vastly more and it would be 'their fault'. If I understand it correctly, the club has elected not to extend availability even though there's capacity.They were on sale for a while and everyone had chance to buy them.
If Adele has tickets for sale and you leave them too late to buy and they sell out do you blame Adele or do you take responsibility and say it’s your own fault for not getting them earlier.
The next option is buy your kid a JSB membership and take them for a tenner.
We were speaking in relation to kids season tickets in the family zone mate which were capped. Everyone had chance to buy them. It is Pete's fault. Why dont people just take responsibility for their lives instead of having to blame or moan about something or someone.Adele can't make extra tickets available by opening more blocks, but CCFC can.

In the UK we're shafted from all sides and made a slave to the system. We're made to feel rich with having excessively expensive housing because the values constantly go up yet spend most of our working life paying for it unless you get the right house early on.All this and they keep telling us we’re the 5th richest country in the world ‘like it’s something we should all be proud of.
It would truly be something to shout about if it were being used to fund vital public services, feed hungry children, improve public transport and public amenities.
Another massive black hole in council budgets just announced, so expect everything to get even worse over the next few years.
We are slaves, in a taxed rat race.In the UK we're shafted from all sides and made a slave to the system. We're made to feel rich with having excessively expensive housing because the values constantly go up yet spend most of our working life paying for it unless you get the right house early on.
5th richest country in the world? Depends what stats you use. GDP per capita or per person. Manufacturing doesn't come into it much. It's financial services. So the select few get rich where the majority struggle.
Yet you have a go at anyone who couldn't afford season tickets as soon as they're released.and quite quickly taken off sale.We are slaves, in a taxed rat race.
Your wake up in your taxed house, you get in your taxed car and go fill up with taxed petrol. You might buy some taxed fags or a can of taxed coke. You go to work all day to be taxed. You go home and watch your taxed tele and repeat until you die. You then die and your house is taxed before your kids can have the money.
Let’s just agree that I’m lazy so I won’t…If you are throwing numbers around, surely you should throw in the weeks when tickets = 0% of income. Probably makes it more like 3.5% at Cat A prices.
No I don’t like blame merchants. They could have afforded kids season tickets but they couldn’t get organised enough to get them in time. Tax you cannot avoid.Yet you have a go at anyone who couldn't afford season tickets as soon as they're released.and quite quickly taken off sale.
No no no….this can’t be right, we’re governed by the Party of low taxationWe are slaves, in a taxed rat race.

Think you need a reality check.No I don’t like blame merchants. They could have afforded kids season tickets but they couldn’t get organised enough to get them in time. Tax you cannot avoid.
My sentiments exactly, possibly for different reasons.Dear God!!!
What has happened to people in this country.
Even communism doesn’t end up being fair.Think you need a reality check.
Something like 40% or more people in the UK live payday to payday. Even higher when they have kids. Summer is the worse time for families financially. No school so extra childcare costs. Annual holiday if they can afford it. Extra days out to keep kids occupied. Then you had a very small window to get cheaper season tickets.
As usual those with money get the cheaper deals. Those struggling at this time of the year or those without means to pay in one go have to pay more.
Fair?
If you weren’t so handsome mate and had such a desirable cock you wouldn’t have so many kidsThink you need a reality check.

Had my nuts cracked before we found out about my little boy. We decided to have another go 2 weeks before my op. Both in our 40's where you're supposed to struggle. Youngest daughter 14 months older.If you weren’t so handsome mate and had such a desirable cock you wouldn’t have so many kids
But people still believe it will be fair this time, because people are fair!Even communism doesn’t end up being fair.
Only thing I want to say is that the idea that this game should have a larger crowd than teh first home game of the season is nonsense not matter what the ticket prices are.
True, but we hadn’t tended to have just appeared in a playoff final very often.Really? Our first game attendances are never that special.
Pete’s only had since he bought the last season ticket over a year ago to get the money sorted for the new oneThink you need a reality check.

And too many people don't consider the difficulties others have.Pete’s only had since he bought the last season ticket over a year ago to get the money sorted for the new one.
The problem with todays society too many people want to blame everyone else but themselves. People need to take responsibility for their own lives.
You buy his season tickets then hero.And too many people don't consider the difficulties others have.
'I'm OK Jack. Your problems are your fault'
King out, I expect to turn up at 2:59 and have no problem being in my seat for kick off
I spent the last few years in the UK doing charity work. It helped me forget my own problems.You buy his season tickets then hero.
Great post.I spent the last few years in the UK doing charity work. It helped me forget my own problems.
I'm ashamed to say but I had views not as bad as yours but still nowhere near reality. Some people even look as though they have the perfect life but once you get to know them you struggle to understand how they continue.
It helped me realise how much of a dickhead I have been at times in the past. I hope I'm a better person for the experience. And hopefully one day you will learn too.
£10 over 11.
This is true , damn you’re too smart !I'm 31 which is technically over 11
Why am I being quoted as someone annoyedYou buy his season tickets then hero.
Your philosophy is clear 'mate', but there is no need for winners and losers in this case.We were speaking in relation to kids season tickets in the family zone mate which were capped. Everyone had chance to buy them. It is Pete's fault. Why dont people just take responsibility for their lives instead of having to blame or moan about something or someone.
You know nothing about me. I would give any family or friend my last penny if they needed it or help anyone out I know without fail. I’ve been through many ups and downs and seen every aspect of life. One thing I have learnt is when you stop blaming everyone else you can use that energy to sort your life out. I don’t need to show off and say how great I am to impress people I know exactly who I am and I don’t care what people think.I spent the last few years in the UK doing charity work. It helped me forget my own problems.
