Championship Away Fans prices

[Bla blade]

After a previous rant about Bolton prices for away fans l was ready to kick off again over Wendy's outrageous pricing for the upcoming SS derby. In fairness (though hardly fair) they are also ripping off their own fans so it's basically an exercise in using the game to put an extra quarter of a million into the coffers compared to any normal Championship fixture. I expect we will do the same in the return fixture so, if you want in, it's a case of having to find an extra £15.

Anyway, all this got me wondering what the rest of the Championship away pricing looks like. I was expecting/hoping to be paying around £25-£28 for away games but clearly clubs can and do charge what the hell they like. Here's a list of standard adult prices for upcoming away fixtures. It makes interesting reading. I know most clubs operate differential pricing so I've added the visiting team for context.

Leeds 37 v Ipswich
Pigs 33 v Forest (upper tier)
Bolton 32 v Blades
Bristol city 32 v Derby
Barnsley 30 v Villa
Villa 30 v Brentford
Middlesbrough 30 v QPR
Brentford 30 seat/25 terrace v Reading
QPR 28 v Ipswich
Blades 27 v Norwich or Wolves
Ipswich 25 v Bolton
Sunderland 25 v Blades
Norwich 25 v Birmingham
Fulham 25 v Hull
Wolves 25 v Millwall
Reading 24 v Bristol city
PNE 24 v Barnsley
Cardiff 23 v Pigs
Millwall 23 v Reading
Forest 20 v Wolves
Burton 20 v Wolves
Birmingham 20 v PNE
Derby 15 v Hull City (Friday night)
Hull 12 v PNE (Tuesday night)

Incidentally, I feel a bit like I've stepped into Roy's territory doing this. Knowing the time it's taken to gather all this together, my respect for the work Roy does in compiling the "view froms" has just gone even higher. 😄

£25 is plenty for the Championship IMO

I think it was 1/- for adults (standing) when I first went, and 6d for us young 'uns. (That's 5p and 2.1/2p for you present day young 'uns).

I've never really got over paying 6/- (30P) to sit in the wonderful new world cup stand in S6 to watch them lot get a (very lucky) victory over the Blades.

After that, I made a vow never to contribute to their coffers again!
Happily, I was finally talked into breaking that vow in March 1992. Bobby Davison - Legend!

1967 3-2 Ron Springett testimonial, Bernard Shaw missed a penalty - well, it was Ron's testimonial!

1979. A very fortunate win - in my expert and unbiased opinion.

I will never go there. Been in twice, once when Pele played and another in the 1940s with my dad when I wasn't old enough to know any better.
