Fridays home friendly v Bournmouth

[soulman101]

Got our tickets today, £10 adults £5 for children. If you are going get your tickets tomorrow , the price goes up by a fiver on Friday. Only the West and east stands open.

£15 for a friendly is an absolute p I s s take.

They would have to send a limo for me and carry me to my seat and pay me the £15.00 to get me to watch friendlies particularly against mundane opposition. No disrespect to Bournemouth but if I moved there to live I still would not bother watching them as an alternative to the Albion.

That's what I think too.

To say it will go up to £15 is a killer on a Friday night.

Should have been a fiver.

Three bottles of good red for £15 and that’s without petrol costs!

Totally agree Mick. £15 should be the admission price for a league or cup game. That's about the average attendance at most attractions around the country, and most of which you can have a day there instead of a couple of hours.
I can't understand why admission to football is so high when you consider that gate receits these days contribute only about 7% to the total income.
Wouldn't it be better to drop prices, attract more people and expand the ground?

You can get a ST at Bayern for about half the price of ours.

Who won the bloody war anyway?

Rip off Britain.

Really cannot understand them pricing a friendly they need to play in any case at £15. People will vote with their feet I'd imagine.

I was in Munich late last year and got talking to some Bayern fans. They were saying that a season ticket costs 140 Euros. Also last year I was in Barcelona and had the same conversation out there. Season tickets start at 130 Euros there. Both clubs hold the view that football should be affordable for everyone. I'd imagine we will need every penny we can get but comparing the two clubs in question to the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal etc, isn't it refreshing that these clubs still respect their supporter base and still recognise they're a football club that's part of the community and not a 'brand'.

In Germany University tuition is free.
They also have this daft idea that a good education should be available to all, and not to the ones with rich parents.

Strange ideas some of these foreigners have.

Quick heads up for those planning to travel South on the M5 after the game:

"Supporters attending Friday’s pre-season friendly against AFC Bournemouth are advised the M5 will be closed southbound from 9pm. The Oldbury Viaduct section of the motorway will be shut from junction one to junction two until 6am on Saturday morning. Highways England have confirmed the northbound slip road will be open as usual".
