    Utd should not be relying on points 3 and 4 and adding emotional pressure to force those to pay more than they can afford.

    In my opinion twenty is plenty for this level but if folk who can afford to pay more want to donate, then let them, just don't force the majority who can't
    You aren't suggesting the club have individual pricing per person? Bear in mind away fans need to be priced as home fans. I think the answer to your question is: way too hard.

    I didn't say that TTT and fine well you know it, I'm simply saying pricing has to be affordable regardless of being home or away, and given the debate then to some it isn't.

    So to answer you, imo the pricing is way too harsh and will impact some,
    and to clarify my post, if others can afford to pay more and want to, I'm sure there are ways they can 'donate', eg hospitality or sponsorship, just don't be forcing your average core supporter who likes to go to matches as a means of escaping home/work The club may be scrimping by, but they cannot forget that lifelong supporters may be too, especially in these times

    Apologies but that's how it read to me.

    I think we agree, the pricing is wrong but they backed themselves into a corner with their promise last year that they needed to make good on. However, for this year (given the exceptional circumstances) it would have been prudent to avoid having category A and B fixtures. This would have meant the club could have kept the price below £30 and avoided the bad feeling being generated at the moment.

    Well our decision has been made, and it was my young lad who refused to pay the £30 and took into consideration current covid levels against his vaccine status. My daughter and her friend are going, and i expect their reasoning for paying the money will be that same as many who dont usually get to games.

    Point to note, for us, it is actually cheaper for the 3 of us who would usually go to get to St Mirren!

    Think the pricing is more based upon ‘the going rate’ for fitba these days, phukk it’s £12 to get into see Lochee United. Entertainment in all shapes and guises in the UK is way overpriced

    Fans moan about cost but most will probably keep going because it's what we enjoy.
    My auld man used to say he was gonna stop drinking when beer reached £1 a pint! Of course he never and was still supping for the rest of his life🙂

    A lot of business and people have had a tough year, clubs are not the only ones..to me £30 is to much for what we are watching, they even mentioned it its been a tough year for everyone, then they bang the prices up.. for me they are going to have to put in at least a decent performance, or some people will stop going full stop at these prices.. they better watch what there doing.

    There lies one thing i have mentioned in previous discussions relating to the product on the park, and when the cost of getting in is gonna be higher than £25, then i have to consider if its worth it because of the poor product on the park.

    Easy to say no for the Derby when Covid safety is taken into it, and i dont see any potential for improved performances in our current squad!

    I can never fully get my head around this one. Personally for me it's about how important a game is. If it's an important match (like the Derby for instance) I couldn't give a flying fcuk how we play as long as we win. I'm fact if we play ****e and still beat them in many ways that's even better.
