Now then mate, how ya doin?
Just got mi Wendy tickets ordered. Seems a few of my fellow Millers are arguing the toss about £30 a shot. Supply and Demand springs to mind and why wouldn't this be a Cat A match?
Like to think we might bring 5000 but I'm beginning to doubt it given the moaning by some. Initial allocation about 3k I think.
Anyway, good start by you and we are settling into it a bit better now. Looking forward to this one Braggy, the real deal, not some early cup comp.
Wind up comes later - Ok with u mate?

The price of tickets generally in football is an issue Pete. Sadly I don't think anything will be done about it save for the occasional 'offer'. Too many genuine fans are being priced out because of the expense. There's no concern it seems for people who are suffering with the cost of living. But then again when have football clubs ever cared; and I include the vast majority. If only we could follow the German example. Power to the fans I say.
I had to get my ticket for Leeds late and with add on it came to £41. I'd have been better off staying in the bars in Leeds city centre - but it wouldn't have been the same.
I hope you enjoy your day - but we win obviously - and that it's a good game and all behave. We're doing well - you're doing well - long may it continue.
UTO xxxx
PS: Braggy is on nights again; poor lad he's a good un and deserves a rest.

Hey up Pete, nice to hear from you again mate.
There's different prices for just about every game this season Pete, it's crackers!
The moaning coming from some of your fans is understandable but I remember a couple of seasons ago when we played you at NYS in the League Cup and when everyone else were charging 10 quid for adults and a fiver for kids, Rotherham charged us the full league price...I remember p

If a lot of millers fans are complaining about the price, then I think you lot will have a few more shocks to come in this league.
I believe this is the first season we've charged this amount for away supporters? (depending on the category of the game) and I truly believe a lot of it is down to what other clubs have charged us.
Until someone grows a pair of testicles at the FA, then clubs are going to treat away fans like cash cows - milking as much money from them as possible, knowing that the quality of the product doesn't really matter because it's not their supporters.
If you don't like the price, then don't pay it - like many of us did with Leeds away. But sadly, I don't think it works unless it's done on mass.
The twenty's plenty campaign is a brilliant idea and some top flight clubs have got behind it. It's an initiative which could get clubs to think again in terms of we look after their fans and they look after ours.

Sad to say about your own but yes there are. Downside of that is that some good posters have inevitably disappeared.

Football or should I say, running a football club is hellish expensive so I don't blame clubs for trying to charge the most they can. Supporters can always vote with their feet. Having said that, it's hard if you are a real fan of a club not to want to follow home and away. Trip to Norwich for me wasn't the cost of the ticket at £30, it was the staying over which of course means a meal out etc. That does get expensive. We are off to Brighton soon but luckily we can do that by train in a day. Not cheap though mate is it?
We grumble about away allocations for tickets but take our Leeds game this Friday on
