Swindon Town v Bristol Rovers Official Matchday Thread

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

It is inside the ground only, but 40-50 coppers on time and a half will still be 25-30k.

Was there 40-50 coppers inside the ground Saturday? I didn't see them. No way you need that many inside the ground anyway. Not a chance.

[THE FLASH]

I dont give a fuck what the plod charge....this is wrong.

I kept my stubs but believed I would have to pay £10-£12 for a TE ticket because they are costs.

This is just greed....pure fucking greed.

The rain wasn't the clubs fault but it also wasn't Gas and Town fans fault.

Is this the same for the gas? I feel sorry for them as it is being ripped off to go on the bank with Dickensian conditions and get pissed wet through and then charged full whack again.

Can somebody confirm?

Sorry but if this stays in place it's another match I will give a miss.

Get that new PR cunt to come out and explain this one away!

You don't until the end of the game, unless something kicks off. And it didn't get to the end.

Has the club got public liability insurance it is the law .

What's that got to do with anything? You need to read up on what PLI covers if you think that will cover costs.

[Ells]

Sorry,
Agree with you, there are police costs which need to be covered, but there still seems ample opportunity to reduce admission prices to customers who have already paid full price and have ticket stubs to prove it.

Yeah I can't disagree with that.

I suppose to me it seems to be a bit like if you go for a meal and something goes wrong that's no one's fault. They don't HAVE to give you a refund, but you'd expect them to do so out of pure decency.

Some are now suggesting that the match was allowed to start (as opposed to being postponed before hand) deliberately in order get the match abandoned, so that Power could then charge again for the reply.

And I am not fucking exaggerating either.

[Posh Red]

Have to say I think it's a poor decision, I'd have thought £10 for the Town End/Bank & £15 for the Arkells/DRS would have been sufficient to cover any costs.

Will be interesting to see if they charge ALL the sponsors of the game full whack again

It isn't far off. Where do you live 1985?

if they would have knocked off a fiver I would have attended again, doing this will now have me on the sofa with some cans I'm not having a go at ST holders but  if the trigger point went past to charge pay on the day fans again then surely this game must have counted as one of the games a ST holder has payed for meaning they should be charged full price also

That's bullshit...it was a balmy afternoon pre kick off....it came literally out the blue..

[THE FLASH]

What, you think the police are going to say "don't worry you paid us last time, we'll work for free" ?

I'll go thanks.

You miss the point he or she is making.

Unless we made a staggering loss from the first match so this charging full whack for the second match is about cutting costs for another staggering loss in the second.

I think not...

Season Ticket guarantees a reserved seat at every home league game. Both games are home league games.  I don't think it's a question of the club rewarding the loyalty of Season Ticket holders, it's more of a 'legally can't do that' situation.

That's what FH is saying, other loons are suggesting otherwise. It all sounds a bit Morgan Freeman to me.
