Recommended Posts

From the FSF (Football Supporters Federation)........

"Fans

from across the country will make their anger at ticket prices known

with a weekend of action set to take place on Saturday 3rd and Sunday

4th October. Supporters’ groups from every top-flight club are set to take part

along with many from the Football League and beyond. Match-goers will be

highlighting the cost of match-tickets and call on clubs to cut ticket

prices."

We all know football is too expensive and as we are at home to Leicester that weekend, I''m looking forward to hearing further details.

Doubt there''ll be much sympathy on here. Definitely an "I''m all right Jack" attitude from the majority of season ticket holders that frequent this board.

Yeah, I''m alright Jack. Quite happy to pay the money for 5-6 away games each season, as well as the 2x season tickets I hold. With cheaper tickets, we''d need a bigger stadium as demand would outstrip supply by far. Great in the ideal world (or Tom C''s) world, but it''s not going to happen. Simple business model of supply and demand. Any half hearted protest about prices will just be a joke. As long as people want to go and watch football, enough will be willing to pay the current prices.

Those who can''t afford it, should watch on TV / stream, or go and watch some lower leagues stuff.

Sorry but this is Premier League with premier prices.

I agree keep the Chav''s and the peasants out. That is what lower league and non league football was invented for.

I am sure it will be re-twattered to death over the coming weeks.

Football is now a luxury good. It''s market pricing reflects this status. If, and until, a government is elected with an ideology of intervening in markets this will not change. The recent election result demonstrated that is not the prevailing view.

I do get the feeling that McNally thinks we earn the same as in London (Fulham) and is why they charge such high ticket prices or is the board just mugging off fans?

The board isn''t muggin off fans.

If the price was too steep then there would be empty seats ... There are not. Sure we would love a cheaper tickets, but the we would need more seats, but for that we would need a new stadium, but for that we need more money .... See the problem here ?

But where is suitable, it would have to have good transport links like a park and ride, a train station and amazing public transport, will such a place ever exist?

Norwich should bid for the Olympics and then we''ll have the stadium after that...

[/quote]It''s the greed of the TV companies and the global corporates who

shower obscene amounts of cash on football to increase their profits that is the problem. the constant hiking of prices at football grounds and over

commercialisation of the sport ensures ever greater numbers of working

class people can never come close to affording to attend football

regularly.
