marple whites Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 So the premier have agreed that it should be £30 tops for the premier. surely now need to filter down, say £25 championship, £20 league 1, £15 league 2 ? quite a few lower league teams starting to take the piss for me.

Leyther_Matt Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Only happening in the Premier League because they can afford not to do it (while charging a fortune for home tickets and season tickets at the same time). I think we’re very lucky to have season tickets as well priced as they are and that helps offset the high priced away tickets, but really the FA, Premier League and EFL should all be getting their heads together to see how it can be made more affordable for people to attend games at all levels.

It’s something being looked at for next season in the PL, with all this rise in crowd trouble the thinking is own stewards will be able to engage better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower league clubs rely on ticket sales far more than PL clubs do. And we'll moan everytime we pay over the odds away at a club that can't accommodate all the demand, but these smaller clubs need these paydays.

Each club/stadium does tend to have a bank of their own stewards though and we’ve certainly sent them to away games previously, including Europe IIRC?

She told me that after the football has finished she was on rugby, then festivals so I wouldn't be surprised. Wonder if it's free festivals and aways that is the stewards draw, or the free clip on ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted June 13, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2022 The ones they got second half of the season who created the barrier between WSL and away fans were next to fucking useless. 16-18 year olds asked to prevent any issues escalating.

peebles Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think Accrington was £25.00 plus fee to stand up, which is steep. Like Leyther Matt says, it's a lifeblood esp for the smaller Clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Some clubs cashed in on the likes of us Sunderland & Sheffield, Cheltenham being the highest I think £27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Increased policing costs won’t do us any favours either. First thing clubs will do is pass that on to fans. In fact, I’m pretty sure that was the reasoning given when clubs started to end introduce categorised games in the early 2000s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted June 17, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2022 And it's a double whammy for some clubs. The bigger your away following is, the more police you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peebles Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Can see a lot of people cutting down with the cost of living crisis. Plus there's not many local away games. Not sure it'd be worth all the admin and hassle for 2 or 3 games. Guess demand will also depend on how were doing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady who used to work in the Spar near work , went to work for a company called Showsec , she stewarded forest, Cardiff , went to festivals, big arena concerts . I've seen Showsec at Derby county and I think Rotherham . She also did bouncer work in nottm . Properly trained first aid etc. She did the thin yellow line at the city ground separating derby fans from forest . Said she loved the banter . On away stewards , I chatted to some MK dons stewards outside the away entrance at the unibol , they had official MK dons jackets etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
