I see Newcastle United no less are offering an additional FREE half season ticket to season ticket holders to help fill the stadium.
Clubs like Arsenal show the stadium three quarters full where clearly tv show the stadium at best half full. No matter all the hype from Sky and the press, no matter all the money in the game, people are finally voting with their feet! Will anyone take any notice, doubt it!
A good idea would be some pre match pitch entertainment featuring some cheerleaders with them ra ra skirts ;D
Season tickets should be no more than £300 for adults and £125 for kids at our level.
Still far too much. Considering gates only account for about ten percent of takings now, the fans are still being ripped off.Quote:

Not factually true in the Champ and below Des.....gates are a massive part of income.Quote:

You can’t even get a blow job in Fordhouses for £15 these days so I think that’s fair although it’s a tenner in Germany.
The football that is.....not the blow job.
Newcastle are giving 10,000 half season tickets free to season ticket holders.Thats a lot to give away when they used to be a long waiting list.Their attendances are now down to 46k a loss of 5k.Quote:

Only look at the champions league....a pre league based qualification load of cods wallop....where in general the presumed teams usually qualify....
Waste of time. Killing the game in truth...
I think the interesting part of your post is the start i.e. Newcastle giving away half season tickets to fill the stadium.Quote:

I'm sure Albion's half season tickets are either on sale or due to be and I wonder if these will be snapped up now we are doing so well?
I don't think they will be snapped up as the saving is probably not great and equal to 1-2 games which with rescheduled games due to TV means you may as well pay for the games you want instead.
The price of Tickets for Albion are reasonable if you ask me. I'm sure 15 to 20 years ago I was paying £15+.
