Voll Blau Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 I agree with Jimmeh. So what's your limit then?
Soar Fox Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 So what's your limit then? I wouldn't have limits. I love following the boys in blue.
Voll Blau Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 I wouldn't have limits. I love following the boys in blue. Say, £90 for Reading away then. You'd be there?
Bayfox Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 I wouldn't have limits. I love following the boys in blue. Must be ace being a rich as you, I pay £50 quid each for my kids season tickets at the KP yet other clubs think it is reasonable to charge that for 1 game, FFS.
AKCJ Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 What do you expect the price to be? It's top level sport. How much is it to go to a music gig? To a tennis match at Wimbledon. To a golf tournament? It's £20 for 2 tickets to the cinema these days. If you want to enjoy yourself it costs. Face it. And stop these ridiculous protests. £20 for 2 Cinema tickets should be a good comparison point. It's £20 to watch about 2/3 hours of entertainment in a big money industry. So why is it about £80 to watch a game of football? The supporters shouldn't be victims of the club's success. No matter what level of football, it's just pure greed.
AKCJ Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 If somebody on the minimum wage has to work approx two days work to take him and his son to a game of football then something has gone drastically wrong. £20 is plenty.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 I wouldn't have limits. I love following the boys in blue. You would. Everyone has a price lets face it.
Gerard Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 You would. Everyone has a price lets face it. Reminds me of this man: (to woman seated next to him at an elegant dinner party): Would you sleep with me for £10,000,000? WOMAN (giggles and responds): of course I would. man; How about doing it for £1? WOMAN (indignant): what kind of woman do you think I am? man: That’s already been established. Now we’re just haggling about the price.
Dan Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 Top level sport hahaha Blackburn v Burnley is hardly the World Cup or the Champions League is it? I'd pay a lot for a cup final but not for run of the mill Premier League fixtures.
CharlieCharles Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 With all the money in the game, £20 cap should be introduced. With the new tv deal, if the cap was introduced. PL teams will still make £20 extra per head per game, (according to a newspaper) so for us lets say... £20 x 32,000 x 19 = £12,160,000 so with the cap, they would still make 12M profit more than they did last season, but they know they can easily make double that by charging £40 per ticket. Which as a business you would. This is why the FA need to step in and force clubs to do so.

Before i lost my full time job it would take me 3 work days to pay for a whole away day. Now its even harder with the lower hours im now on.
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 It's good to hear that Jimmeh has no rent, loans, bills, or any other fiscal obligations to fulfil. Or that he doesn't need to eat food and wear clothes to these football matches which are the only outgoing source of money for him. I'm pleased for you Jimmeh. Haha! Nailed it.

C-man Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 My timeline has been full of this for days. Feels like a fair bit of momentum is finally building. Football should be united on this - it's the first positive step in a long time. Come on!
promised land Posted 2 October 2015 Posted 2 October 2015 Top level sport? Don't make me laugh it's fvcking league games we're talking about. £60 for Arsenal fans to go watch Norwich £45 for Boro fans to go watch Man United reserves in the League Cup £42 for Birmingham fans to go to Leeds including £30 for a 16 year old £41 for Stoke (and us, remember) at Villa £41 for pretty much everyone at Ipswich You've posted some fvcking retarded stuff on here but this is #1. Well done. £42 for Brum at Elland road, Christ, I stopped going up there when it hit £36 a few seasons back, seems 40 is quite the norm in the championship now then as Norwich charged Derby 40 last season iirc. Way over priced.
Number 6 Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 Where did the £60 thing come from? Can't see ticket information for Arsenal at Norwich.
purpleronnie Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 So do people genuinely believe clubs will say ahhh go on then we'll reduce the tickets and make less money?
AndWhat? Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 So do people genuinely believe clubs will say ahhh go on then we'll reduce the tickets and make less money? No. But we have 2 options, try or do nothing.
AndWhat? Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 According to Union FS Twitter, Norwich didn't let the banner in the ground. Twats
Carl the Llama Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 Not to be a downer, but the cinema ticket comparison is terrible. Fair enough, there's a lot of money going into the production of these films so when you can see them for around a tenner that does seem fairly cheap. The key difference is the market size: A football match gets played once to thousands of people. It does not get played simultaneously in cinemas around the world, multiple times a day, for a few weeks, and then sold to millions more people in DVD and digital form. I'm not by any means defending the pricing of football matches, I'm just saying.
fleckneymike Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 Comparing sport to attending the Cinema demonstrates a staggering degree of ignorance. The same film can be on at over 200 different sceens in Britain alone at various points across a given day. A football match featuring the side you want to watch is a one off deal, hence the 'premium' attached to it. If films were made to be screened to a limited number of people as a one off deal then perhaps you could draw a comparison but as they aren't, you cant.
TheMightySystem Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 According to Union FS Twitter, Norwich didn't let the banner in the ground. Twats People where able to smuggle in smaller signs i think as there is a video on twitter and the stewards threatened to kick them out of the ground or something if i find it ill post it Edit: Found it on the Union FS twitter page so you probs already seen it
Voll Blau Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Ridiculous from Norwich. Fair play to the lads involved though, hopefully raised awareness of the campaign.
TMELcfc Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Norwich stewards are the biggest bellends in football, been like it for years.
Sir Fynwy Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 I'm fully on board with twenty's plenty but some of the Norwich lads giving out leaflets need to calm down, we were abused by one of them because we wouldn't take a leaflet, how does that help the campaign?
