(caveat: I’ve been looking at the FA Cup rules and there is nothing in the pricing that precludes charging different prices. Some clubs include cup matches in their season ticket prices and there is a section on splitting gate receipts where that happens…but nothing to stop City charging a lower rate) No it won’t - hence my point about them being able to charge more as City will. Like I subsequently said though - I’m really not worried - but I do think ST holders should be rewarded for their loyalty - even it is just £5 cheaper per ticket.

In terms of Rugby then yes - Clermont are a huge club with a massive pedigree in the European and domestic leagues. Equivalent to Champions League finalists 3 times in the last ten years, UEFA cup equivalent winners 3 times since 2000 and French League winners (equivalent to Prem in rugby terms) twice in last ten years A huge club in rugby terms.

Bit arrogant. I don't want "Prem football", I don't mind us being a yo-yo club, in and out of the circus to get some money into the club, but thats it - and I won't spend any money on the EPL games. I'll be at the Gate during the Championship years, but give the "premier League" a miss. But I reckon I'll belong gone before we reach that stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
