The worrying thing is that 'if' the unthinkable was to happen and we went down, the board would probably increase prices in league 2 and that would be the start of us going out of business. I'm such an optimist!! :soapy tit wank: Title: Cost of attending matches Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, August 8, 2005, 10:39:27 Well I'll pay 15 for the TE which is amongst the lower for the Div.....don't think you'll get much cheaper elsewhere, so cost isn't really an issue.

That's a good point. Bring your mates to the TE Fatbury, that's where the atmosphere is and it is cheaper! Nobody loses!

The £23 quid doesn't put him off, on the other hand an old Swindon supporting mate hasn't come since 1997 and has been using the 'I'm not paying that to watch that crap' all that time. If people want to come they'll find the money, truth is most of them would rather follow Utd, Arsenal or Liverpool on the telly.

How many games a season do they watch at Highbury? I purposely didn't go to the pub to watch the Champions League final cos I can't trust myself to keep my opinons on the chocolate scousers under wraps when I've had a couple of pints. I can't see a change in ticket prices bringing fans back, sadly only success seems to do that.

cheers Neilodah 8) Title: Cost of attending matches Post by: adje on Monday, August 8, 2005, 16:29:09 31 quid for me and my lad plus 30 quid petrol- I can only afford Town End prices and usually do 12-15 games per season.I couldn't stand watching Prem football,not at all interested
Title: Cost of attending matches Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 8, 2005, 23:25:50 £23 quid for ticket cos I'm a short arse and can't see anything in the town end, then £20 for train and about £5 in bus travel. So £48 if I'm travelling from southampton. Probably why I hardly go on my measly student budget
