purpleronnie Posted 8 June 2013 Posted 8 June 2013 Very easy to say that when you have loads of money. But so what? Compare them to clubs in england with lots of money, doesn't stop them fleecing fans.
Harry - LCFC Posted 8 June 2013 Posted 8 June 2013 10% over there is £10, 10% over here is £43! I wouldn't be happy paying £473 for my ST! Whilst what you're saying may make business sense, you're completely ignoring the fact that the German way (for once) is the right way to go about things. You're advocating something that they've worked very hard to stop. And it's not like your argument for doing so has any grounds as they clearly don't need the extra revenue. It quite clearly does, big injection into the playing squad thus giving them a greater chance of succeeding. They're not going to win the treble every year. And thank you for raising the 10% point, it demonstrates how little that is for them thus showing that a price increase of that proportion would do almost nothing to alienate the fans.
Aus Fox Posted 10 June 2013 Posted 10 June 2013 Talk of a 10 euro price rise what's the point? 70,000 STH, it's worth 700,000 euros a year! When you look at Byerns finances 700,000 a year is peanuts.
Richard Posted 10 June 2013 Posted 10 June 2013 It's always about the money. It's easy to say it isn't when you're rolling in it and still being successful

The money raised would be nothing to them, I'd imagine selling out their club values has a much higher price to them. Shame more clubs aren't like that over here.

Shame more clubs aren't like that over here. Personally I feel there are a number of people who are distorting the positive and negative impacts of a price increase. I think it's an enormous exaggeration to say the club would be ;selling out its values; if it put the prices up by ten pounds. I don't really understand why people are so against it really - just to make absolutely clear once more: ten pounds over the course of the season - about 60p a game. That is not in any way excessive or unreasonable. Secondly, and as I've said before, a £10m increase in revenue can hardly be considered 'nothing' as it would pay for wages of two first team players. I'm not massively in favour of this as such, I just don't understand why people find it such a threatening idea, as if it would cause some great damage to Bayern Munich.

Yes, but your maths is appauling though so I can see why you'd think we're understating the benefit. As someone has already pointed out to you 10 X 85,000 is 850,000. Less than £700,000. Not Ten Million. You pay for your season ticket once not 17 times.

It isn't my maths that's appalling it was my thinking at the time, apologies for my mistake.

I don't think Harry sees that the German mentality is purely about the game. They are not businesses like most English clubs seem to be. They are pure and simply all about the game (Just look at when a German club lent another german club money so they could carry on playing - Cant remember who now but you wouldn't see that anywhere else), and charge as little as possible so every week they have a full house.

This. All the Clubs are owned by the fans so guess what? The fans come first. And indeed, Bayern Munich bailed out Borussia Dortmund in the last decade with a multi-million euro loan, and now they are the two top dogs. Can you imagine Man City bailing out Man Utd with a substantial loan, or vice versa? Somehow I think not.
