But But...won't somebody think of the Brummies.

There's gonna be a smug doctor in the house today

And an embarrassed Flashheart

Like this!

Um, yeah. So embarrassed I can't show my face. 

:hmmm:

You clearly felt strongly enough about it to trawl through 6 months of posts last time...

I still don't understand what I need to be embarrassed about.

Coz you've been changed?

Is that changed or chang'ed?

In that case, I'm going out now to get battered and forget about my shame.

I knew what I was doing  :)

20 quid a ticket?

No thanks

I don't think you will be the only one tans, £20 to steep, £15 sounds better with kids free!

Guess there will plenty of premiership lovers in the town willing to pay that.

No way I'm paying £20 to watch a glorified training session

£20 fucking quid. Can we just have Birmingham back at a tenner please?!

With prices like that it's going to be that more people who turn up just to see premier league footballers than people who are actual Swindon fans, absolute disgrace

Talk about milking fans, have they forgotten it is a freindly game £20 is way steep

I'm surprised it isn't full price.

On another note, Brentford are charging £25 a ticket when they play Celtic in July and have allowed away fans to buy tickets anywhere in the ground bar the home terrace. Mark Devlin said they need a near sell out to make money on the fee they paid Celtic to play them!

Fucking hell. £20. :eek: That could be an attendance killer.

Some night feel it's worth it if the likes of Bale put in an appearance.  However, that's not guaranteed and if it ends up being Spurs reserve team, people won't be happy.

I saw this and thought "Yes, I'll be going to that!"

Then I saw the price. I could go to a league game for that and while the opportunity to watch Bale et al play for twenty minutes before being replaced by the reserves is appealing, it's not worth £20.

£20 is extortionate for a friendly game in my opinion.. Mainly because they aren't nearly as entertaining as league games, regardless of who we're playing. But I'll still be there regardless, wouldn't want to miss the chance to see the likes of Bale ect even if they are subbed off after half time or whatever.

Fuck me 20 whole pounds. Best remortgage the house or the kids won't eat for a year.

Jesus.

I bet half the people complaining will still go. Not often we get to see our team play a top premier league side, competitive or not. Maybe I earn too much but 20 doesn't seem too much to me. Id rather pay an extra tenner and watch us v Spurs than Birmingham.

So how much are the Spurs fans paying :hmmm:

I'd pay £20. But only if it was guaranteed that the likes of Bale and at least 5 or 6 more "stars" are going to play. If, as is probably going to happen, it is going to be a Spurs youth team with a sprinkling of reserves and one or two fringe first teamers I'd be mightily pissed off at paying that amount.

This is my view, though I'll probably be pressured into going by my son.

Its a pointless kick around, its Spurs, good team but not exactly Man U, Barcelona, Real or Bayern - which are about the only 4 teams I'd deem worthy of twenty. I'd genuinely rather have Birmingham City, though that's partly because I sit next to a City fan at work.

£20 is insane for league one football, let alone a friendly. Football needs to get it's business in order.

Loud noises

Twenty quid to watch spuds is better value than the twenty five charged for league 1.
Are those moaning season ticket holders?
Not a fan of friendlies myself but think if spurs go strong then it's not ridiculously priced.
