Traf Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Designated Cat A game at start of season, based on police invoicing for game etc etc. GMP won't be reducing their bill, so should a club with no money start subsidising away fans? We get £100,000 for the game being on telly, whilst West Brom get £10k. Seeing as away teams normally get nothing, how about they sell 1,000 tickets at £22 and put the extra tenners in themselves?

Site Supporter Steejay Posted December 19, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2018 56 minutes ago, Mr Grey said: It's an excuse from West Brom fans, their away numbers haven't been as high as they expected since relegation, give it 3 or 4 year in this division and they will have similar crowds to us, i do sympathise at the prices being charged but Leeds United Have been charging over the odds for years, knowing the hardcore will pay. Rugby Union clubs like Sale Sharks charge around £45 a ticket to watch 30 odd players roll around and wrestle in the mud for 80 minutes, mind you i suppose some look on that as entertainment, but to put ticket prices in to perspective, football in general is still pretty cheap in comparison to other sports. Christ, I didn't know RU was so expensive to watch. I know the Twickers thing isn't cheap but club rugby??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual cost of an away ticket is pretty irrelevant to me. If I want to go to the game, I will. I'm off to Brentford, Hull & Bristol City in the next 3 and a bit weeks, but had the match tickets been a tenner more, I'd still be going. The extra £10 is nothing to what you spent on an awayday anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should have. But let's look at Brentford, as it's the next one we have. I've got a train Saturday to London, a day on the piss, the match, an overnight stay and a train home on Sunday. If I can afford to do all that, i can afford an extra tenner. Worst case scenario, have 2 less pints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I think we should all take up the offer and offer the tickets to local schools etc. try and get it full. Personally i am out for Midweeks this season as its a fuck on to get back to Liverpool but happy to help fill the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 20, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2018 When you consider the likes of Lancaster Whites, Yorkshire Whites and th'East Midlands Whites, etc., manage to travel to midweek games I'm surprised you feel the short trek to Liverpool is beyond you. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying. Clearly you haven't tried to get back when all the roads are closed (they close at 10pm for raodworks) meaning its a fuck on. Maybe its being a shit fan but i am not in the game of getting back at 12 - 12:30 from a midweek anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
