You Do The Dziekanowski Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Watching The Football League show and Match of the Day I noticed many stadiums had empty seats especially Birmingham and Leeds who are supposedly meant to do well this year yet Barnsley filled out most of their stadium. Im just hoping that AG is full to the top on tuesday and we get rewarded with a nice easy 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You'd prob expect the Leeds att. to be down, 3rd season in this league plus anti Bates sentiment. Brum will get bigger gates as the season progresses. Barnsley only had 12K, not exactly filling Oakwell. Will be interesting to see the opening home attendances of the three relegated teams after their poor results yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly The Kid Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 The average fan is being priced out of it unfortunately. People are prioritising their disposable income accordingly and it's so expensive to go these days. Spent some time in Germany as I do most years, and tickets for Budesliga games start at 10 Euro's, right up to 100 Euro's, with great incentives for the family. The fans there simply won't put up with extortionate prices. The premier league says in order to bring the best players in the world to our clubs and to generate the salaries required prices must be what they are. Well, that's moot point I suppose. I personally believe the Bundesliga is a higher skill level, but not quite so physical but you still get exciting games, and, in my opinion far better value for money, given that you can get a beer during the game and the facilities are for the most part, excellent. People I speak to say that they won't go to watch City regularly because of the poor value for money in terms of facilities and catering etc. The new stadium impacts on so many facets of the club's existence that you can see why it is crucial for our long term future.

Taunton_City Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think pricing should be capped. Championship £15 tops, league one £10 and league two £8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think pricing should be capped. Championship £15 tops, league one £10 and league two £8. £8 isnt that about the same price as watching Taunton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarf Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I paid £11 to watch the Rome derby last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I paid £11 to watch the Rome derby last season. My friend and I are watching Barca in November and he's paid less than £60 for the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 said the same to my dad yesterday few good fixtures yest, that 4/5 seasons ago would have been sold out now so many aspects mean people just staying in the pub, a common thing at ashton gate now, bs3 is just as busy during the game sometimes as it is before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad, and I'd settle for their attendance any day. We'll gross just over that when you combine Tuesday night and Saturday's crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 In 20 years ticket prices have gone up 1000% and going by this survey 9 out of 10 people think ticket prices are too much. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2012/08/18/3311767/nine-out-of-10-fans-believe-ticket-prices-are-too-high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think its time maybe for a super league top half dozen clubs in England taking there super chairmen and super managers and mostly foriegn imports, and bogging off elsewhere to a euro/world series. Leave us to proper football played by footballers not on £200,000 a week and know just how much the clubs fans love the area/club they support. To much is being taken by journey men out to get what they can then move on. They earn rediculous money and keep any promising youngsters out of the teams. Is our national game really that much better now with 20-30m plus transfers? no imo only players/agents pockets are. Bring back the import limit of 2/3 foriegn players it will level the playing field and give all clubs a fairer chance, not just those with the richest backers.

22A Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 In his famed report Lord Chief Justice Taylor not only recommended all seater stadia, he also proposed a maximum admission price. Guess what; the clubs chose to ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_City Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 £8 isnt that about the same price as watching Taunton? Yep, don't get me started on that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
