Ah yes hoggy but it was claimed as a victory when it was limited to £30 not £20 which is what the campaign centred around..

Has it only lasted for a season then? Saying that im sure Leeds was over 30 last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saying that im sure Leeds was over 30 last season. No i am not saying The Championship was limited to £30. The Premeirship was but as soon as we dropped a division we have been subjected to some stupid pricing. Yes there is the odd great deal going around like Hull is £12 but that is due in the main to Hull fans boycotting in their thousands because of the hated owner and coupled with them have a poor season so far and our game being on a cold damp ( possibly ) night in November they had to do something to get punters through the turnstiles. As i said a lot of willy waving took place locally when the £30 ceiling came about in Premiership but for some reason these same people do not seem concerned in making a case for Norwich fans and for that matter other clubs down here in The Championship. Fenway Frank has pointed about that some clubs got together and agreed a £20 ceiling amongst themselves but Norwich declined to get involved. Surely a job for the willy wavers to take up on our behalf ? I have just read on Facebook where Bolton are charging £35 for Wigan fans in their upcoming local derby. If that is true absolutely outrageous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For context, “Twenty is plenty” was actually the catchy slogan of an Football Supporters Feberation (FSF) ticket pricing campaign, which started in January 2013. The campaign was starting to generate significant media interest, with coordinated campaigns at various Premier League games. However, the real game changer for the Premier League, who’d virtually refused to discuss the matter with the FSF at that point, was when Liverpool fans left early in the 77th minute, during a live TV game, against Sunderland in February 2016. Suddenly, Premier League clubs agreed to cap the price away fans to £30 for adults, but only from the start of the following 2016-17 season. Championship clubs then decided, around the same time, not to pursue a similar policy, leaving it to individual clubs to set their own pricing structures.

lake district canary 4,518 Posted November 18, 2018 People get worked up about this, but it wasn't so long ago that there were strikes and demonstrations about fuel being £1.20 and it is now much more than that and not a dicky bird. I'm all for cheap tickets, but are people willing to walk away to get them? I doubt it. In fact if a ticket is £32 rather than £28, then it's not a big deal in the scheme of things. The PL is different, clubs have a much larger percentage of their income from TV deals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a daft analogy Lakey as there is not a choice with regard to petrol pricing because it is something that the country could not function without but football you do have a choice. You go to a game or you don't but getting a rough deal surely is a matter that is worth fans having representation over. I am surprised that GMF implies that the Premier League bowed to pressure from the FSF but when it came to Championship clubs holding their ground that the fans representatives just rolled over and had their tummies tickled.

Surprised, or not, that’s what happened - a little research shows it to be so if you’re still in doubt. It was a vote by the clubs, not fan groups, which led to the changes. If you’re interested, NCFC, as a Premier League club, voted in favour of the away fans cap at the time - they obviously couldn’t partake in the vote by Championship clubs! Subsequently, as far as NCFC are concerned, there’s been a far more subtle change on casual game pricing; there being far less A* and A graded games and far more B, C and D priced matches.
