[Archived] Leeds Away - A sign of things to come?

[copie]

So Leeds have classified our match as Category A and as such it's £36 a ticket (which at a guess is above an average Premier League away ticket surely?)

Can we expect to be stung in this way all season long as opposition clubs see us as a 'big fish'

£25 for Ipswich isn't too bad but £36 a ticket will, I expect, put some people off from their plan of attending more away games this season

[K-Hod]

I'm never a fan of tickets being above £30, but if I wasn't on holiday I would still go-Leeds is hardly the other side of the world!

As for the people attending more away games- I'm not convinced this will happen tbh.

[Pedro]

Well, some have been very vocal about only supporting Rovers on the road so clubs are going to cash in on them.

[Ste B]

Its to be expected, one of the things we forget is that were spoilt by cheap tickets at Ewood, and the 36 quid is less than we paid at many Premier grounds last season.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

Leeds rip everyone off, especially their own matchday ticket buyers, of which there'll be more attending that game than there are Rovers fans. Thats just Bates being a disgustingly greedy prat. Never thought I'd say this but I feel sorry for Leeds fans these days,a city of almost a million (metropolitan area) and they can only fill about 60% of their ground thanks to prices totally inappropriate for the standard of football they get to watch.

[Miller11]

I was really annoyed when I saw this price. I'll probably give it a miss and go to Bristol City instead.

Although 99% of our what our club does these days is absolutely shambolic, our pricing strategy is something we can celebrate.

Leeds rip their own fans off all the time, thats why their crowds arent as big as they could be. Bumley were charged about £35 last season i think.

[1864roverite]

Like Batwes himself, its disgustng the charges of £36 a ticket for the Rovers game. I will still be on holiday and hope I land as a managerless Rovers take 3 points from them.

[McClarky]

I was going to go but no way would I give those sheep worrying bleaters £36. No wonder their crowds have been so pathetic in recent years.

[Mattyblue]

No I wouldn't say it was a sign of anything.

Leeds are renowned for fleecing fans.

[braddock]

Here's hoping those avoiding home matches get stung.

In the Ipswich match thread you're pompously proclaiming how you could never wish anything bad on Rovers. In this thread you're hoping people who turn up to support Rovers get ripped off.

As well as being a total prat, the complete lack of consistency in your arguments is astonishing. **** off on holiday.

No.

In the other thread I said I hoped nothing bad would happen to Rovers. I include the true fans in this (i.e not those who don't go to support their lads at Ewood).

In this thread I hoped those avoiding home games would get stung, since those prices are set and aren't going to change. There's no helping that innocent fans who go to home games as well will be getting stung, but it'll be more of a kick in the teeth for those avoiding home games as it's not like they are getting their dose at home and so will be less inclined not to go based on price issues.

Not really. The price of a ticket in the BBE or DE for the home match against Leeds is £32. Same against Burnley.

[arbitro]

Do you get your dose at home?

[braddock]

Do you get your dose at home?

I have to travel overseas unfortunately.

Not in a Gary Glitter way, I assure you.

[braddock]

That explains a lot

I don't see how. But this is going off topic.

How much will the game against Burnley be, do people think?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

You were saying the fans dont get behind the team enough in one thread and then you state you hope your fellow Rovers fans get 'stung' in the pocket away from Ewood....your a strange sort Braddock!!

Terrible pricing from Leeds that.

I've explained that I don't view those as fans. Stop clutching at straws trying to pin me down.

Or supporters at least.

That illusion will be shattered after about 5 minutes of Kean-led football.

[Ossydave]

As someone mentioned previously, Burnley were charged about the same last season. They obviously think we, like Burnley, will take a decent following and they want to cash in on that. Like it or lump it, that's life. I don't think its too outrageous a price either.

[AndyNeil]

Oh dear ..... another example of you being either a knob or a WUM, my opinion is the former.

[Ossydave]

You could argue the people who rise to him fall into the 'knob' category also.

Interesting comment, how do you work that one out?

[Ossydave]

Because you're a bit simple if you let Braddocks posts on here get to you.
