Going back to what the_arab was driving at (I think)

Are we at the stage where the club management would be happy with a 5000 attendance paying £50 or a 10,000 attendance paying £25?

I know that's not taking seasons into account etc etc but the point I'm trying to make (badly) is that in pure economic terms it has the same financial outcome, and I just used 50 to make the point. It's important we don't price fans out .

Pretty much, my main point is our owners are looking to get the most money possible which does actually makes sense for a business but don't kid yourself by thinking they care who attends as long as they get what they want at the gates.

This sort of money is not about the fans, it's not about making sure loyal supporters can attend games and if you gave them a choice of losing some fans but making a wee bit extra cash at 30 or helping all fans attend but making slightly less they choose 30. We may still sell out, but there are fans who have been with us for years probably gutted not being able go, or not being able to justify paying the price to take a younger child.

We can't claim to be a club for the community, we are a fully-fledged business putting money first and having “Dundees United” scrawled on our wall is an insult to every fan who now feels they have been left behind.

I have different issues with going but I really do feel gutted for those who can't, or those who feel they can't justify taking their younger kids as well.

They better hell hope they win, as a bad result will really damage the morale of those attending whilst being really disgruntled by it.
