Heads up, this season the Nationwide tickets have been £14 a pop. Last year was £12 a pop. Years before that, it was £10 a pop.

These bastards have clearly been freeloading for years. Sounds like we would be in the Prem if it wasn't for Nationwide and their long, loyal and generous sponsorship.

Ah sorry, I was working off them being £15, so it's a £13 discount/£1 more per person than my maths. I don't think that's likely to change the equation significantly.

While we’re at it, do those freeloading disabled fans pay full whack? Should be an additional fee for those wheelchairs, too.

And their carers should probably pay double.

Don't think the club control iFollow prices directly, thankfully - they're the same for every club right?

I assume the price is set by ifollow & not the club.
Also, ifollow is only *cough, cough* available aboard - therefore used by people who aren’t going to attend live games based on location.

Like, even these guys can’t think - hey that Swindon fan in bangkok only has to pay £10 a game and he watches it home…but…if that option was not there he’d definitely travel over and go to the game paying full price & would probably buy food & drink too £££

I assumed he knew fuck all about football after that interview. You don’t need to be a genius to know that pissing off your core supporters isn’t going to end well.

To be fair, that's not football specific. A CEO needs certain qualities, and maybe he's supremely competent behind the scenes, but speaking in public is one thing you have to get right if you do it.

Oh yeah, there was a lot I presumed he knew but didn't seem to.

What I mean is a CEO is able to hide "don't know/don't want to tell" in a professional manner. Its part of the job. But pee'ing off customers is good too.

Yes, I would actually put that line of thought past them. Even Hall can’t be that stupid.

Are we pointing the finger at Flashheart here?

Well yes, in the sense that he was the first Town fan aboard who came to mind.
