class of 76-77 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 £24 is a bit steep to say the least, if like me your taking two kids then that makes it an expensive day out, no wonder people dont travel in numbers to away games anymore.

GlenburnSaint Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 A tenner for kids in any spl game is shocking also. Especially when teams outside the old firm need more young fans growing up as home team supporters. They should be embarrassed thats a poor decision. Lucky we have a decent travelling fanbase.

flyingscot Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 The only way clubs will learn and sit up and take notice is if fans stop going and they get hardly any money. County know fine well that despite it being £24, we'll still have a couple hundred fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest somner9 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think we do .spl make up pricing at beginning of season ,£24 is what you usually pay at away games It's £20 for saints and Killie fans this weekend! I have always advocated that we should set a price for the season (£20 seems fair) and as Buddiecat suggests if there are shitehawks charging our fans more we charge them the same at our place. I'd call it "Buddy Fair" pricing (if anyone from the fans cooncil is watching). definitely a good PR move for the club that would get press coverage and perhaps shame the likes of County into reciprocating..? It seems most clubs other than Partick will be £24+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think we do .spl make up pricing at beginning of season ,£24 is what you usually pay at away games Entirely up to the clubs. That's why I didn't go to Inverness. .. They wanted £37 for me and the lad (who is 15). We went to Firhill instead and it cost £20 for us both as under 16's are free. THAT is sensible pricing... we're going back this Friday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 FFS, this is ludicrous. £24? Half that figure and it might be value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedflanders123 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 They can talk to the cows come home in this country about footballing skills, keeping fans dry, developing young players and having family sections etc but the bottom line is that if the game is too dear then people will vote with their wallets/purses. Without sounding like Shull (a good guy though) we seriously need to consider how we make the game more affordable and get bums on seats. People go to the cinema and watch a movie, eat their sweets, popcorn etc and get a bus home for less than a football game. I know it is chalk and cheese but it is still all about entertainment and value for money. Charging £20 or more means that those living on the breadline or struggling to make ends meet will not go to an expensive game when the £40 that may be charged for a Dad and boy would feed the family for a week or pay for something else. Time to have a look at what the Germans and other Europeans charge for watching their sport and which is generally of a much higher standard.

oaksoft Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 charge their fans £24 when they visit paisley i say Now THAT would be utterly brainless. How does an empty away stand help our club? Charge them a price to tempt as many of them to come as possible. That would be more clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we should shame them into matching ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
