Even if adult tickets were £250 and young adults £175 or £200, I think most of those who buy the incorrect ticket would still go with the cheaper option and try and get away with it. I don't buy the mindset being "I can't afford the higher price so I'll chance it on the cheaper", in most cases it's "I'm chancing it on the cheaper and hopefully don't get caught".

Tickets have gone on sale for the Portsmouth home game and there is a clear error which hasn't been corrected for some time now. The copy and paste hasn't worked too well but the £3 is for under 12's in the padded seat area of the JWU which is considerably cheaper than an under 12's holders anywhere else in the ground. I wonder what would happen if somebody went to buy tickets and insisted on paying the advertised price.

If you actually purchase online, it'll cost you a quid according to this! 🤣

I thought that but without checking I'm sure the ticket ordering page will be £13.

Leeds has been set at Cat A+ so £33 to £40, we know why obviously, feck the home fans when 7,000+ will fill the away end.

However, I’m sure I don’t recall Cat A+ being a category this season, yet it is on this article (a recent edit?):

Only in football and at this club in particular do they deem it acceptable to charge a min of £8 quid more for another set of opposition of the same standard in the same league as the one we played on Saturday.

Complete joke and about time people stuck 2 fingers up at this practise.

Looks like this rule is coming in next season which will put a stop to such nonsense.

Waggott is making hay while the sun shines then. With Burnley coming here on January 4th he will be orgasmic.

Are the FF going to put pressure on him to reduce the Dingles allocation again?

[K-Hod]

£33 for second tier football.
Christ alive, our management are completely clueless.

Still, £33 x 7,000= Waggott looking good to Venky’s….

[Mattyblue]

£33 minimum, of course the fans of the club that have led to these prices don’t pay the up to £40 that home fans will do if they wish to sit in the most populated stand.

Its actually £35 for Leeds fans, the £33 is the online discount for the lucky home fans out there who might fancy it.

Nothing surprises me with Waggott and his pricing.

The only thing that actually does surprise me is that he hasn't really tried to maximise income yet and give Leeds etc the Jack Walker stand.

He would try to spin it as being better for atmosphere ... I shouldn't give him ideas actually!

[Mattyblue]

Defo give them the Riverside and the Blackburn End Upper too, why not ay, got to claw back the bonus he lost for fecking up ST sales somehow.

Can one of the Forum panel please ask why supporters weren't allowed to watch the under 21's play Burnley at the Academy this afternoon. I'm sure it will be back heeled by Waggott but if he could be pushed for an answer I would be grateful. To many it might seen trivial but there are a number of fans who regularly attend these games and are being denied without a reason being given.

Thanks in advance.

No worries, I've added it to my notepad doc for this month's meeting (which is a week on Monday).

As ever, for anyone else, drop me a PM if you've anything else you want me to raise.

So far, I've got Arbitro's question above and: 'You say we don't receive transfer fees all at once, so surely when we pay them to other clubs, it works in the same way?

Unless our credit rating is through the floor.

The point at which a club is refusing entry to fans to watch games, considering it not worth the hassle or cost, and instead prefer to have no fans there, indicates a club that is not functioning how it should be.

The fundamental purpose of a club is to provide entertainment for supporters. Here just an aggravation they would rather not have to bother about. Easier having it behind closed doors.

Saw an article online today and can't remember the exact figures but it claimed our average home attendances were down from over 14k to sub 11k this season?

Is that correct? And if so can someone put that to Waggott as if true it is an absolutely shameful statistic.

[MarkBRFC]

I don't think that is true at all.

[Mattyblue]

Average attendances are pretty much were they’re been the last three years - c15k.

14721 is our league average so far this season, which is the 3rd lowest in the league.

Last season was 15,583 so down 5% or so but home games against Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland coming up in the next few weeks which will push the average up.

This is extraordinary. A tee shirt launched as part of the 1994/95 Legends series…I mean WTAF is this?
