Pretty poor given the distance and still one of the better away crowds.

I fucking hate League Two.
It is pretty shit considering the distance.

I would say that this season only Gills, Notts County, Wrexham, AFC Wimbledon, Grimsby, Bradford, and Stockport will bring more than that and MKD, Newport and possibly Mansfield may bring about the same amount.

Thats 10 clubs that will bring more than 400, so many use the excuse that the cost (£27) is way too much for L2 football.

Which I agree it is, but we are by no means the only club with tickets at that level so its a fucking lame excuse as at least they have a seat and it has a good elevated view and covered from the elements which 50% of the clubs in this league do not have.

Walsall fans saying £27 is far too much to pay.
I looked for tickets for the hone game against Wimbledon and they're only £1 cheaper.

27 does seem steep but at the moment at least it’s less than a fiver per goal at home…

They should make the middle third 27 and the flanks back to 25. Crowds have dropped by 1k, so the price hike has probably meant a loss in ticket revenue.

I think that was tried in the early days of the new stand.
People ended up buying the cheaper tickets then migrated to empty seats in the central areas.

Pretty much everything has gone up in price but so have wages.
Cost of living crisis is more of an agenda than a reality these days.

Attendances have held up very well.

Not sure about that one.

Admittedly in very general terms.

Make sure you ask for a rise.
It's possible that your boss isn't struggling.

They are right as well.
My Cousin travels watching Grimsby and 4 of them giving Swindon a miss in a few weeks time for the same reason.
At this level should be around £23 in my opinion.

That's bollocks and £27 is far too much.

Maximum prices should be no more than £20 for league two, League one £30, championship £40 and premiership £50 with a slight reduction for evening games when it's even harder to travel.
