    Reading have twenty is plenty as long as the away team reciprocates the prices for Reading fans.

    Is it about time we reciprocated the away prices we are charged to the away fans at NYS.

    Even if we have to charge the same in one part of the home end è.g. SW corner where no one sits.

    £33 for Sheff Utd away, we charge nearly a tenner less. Which is about £20k on the away gate.

    I did a post about the reciprocated a few weeks since fc miller, regarding Reading v Blackpool game, Reading
    put the offer forward, but Blackpool said no.
    It takes both clubs to come to a agreement on pricing, with Reading putting forward the idea to help
    supporters.

    I think the clubs have to state their prices before the season starts and then thats it. Some clubs have different price bands for some visiting clubs, but then the home fans get charged the same and this site would be in meltdown.

    If for instance we charged Brum £20, we'd lose money. We wouldn't take 2000+ to Birmingham to get back what we'd lost.

    Only solution is for the EFL to cap prices.................UTM.

    Offset the steeper price with the fact that it costs next to nothing to get there on the bus or train.

    I'm not suggesting we charge £20, only that we charge away fans visiting us the same that they charge us.

    We are charging Birmingham the following
    Adults - £24
    Seniors 60+ /18-21/HM Armed Forces Personnel - £14
    Juveniles 13-17 - £9
    Junior 12 and under - £7

    Yet Birmingham are charging Swansea (and likely to charge us)
    Adults – £30*
    Seniors (65+) – £25*
    Young adult (19-24) - £25*
    Junior (13-18**) - £20*
    Under 13* - £15*

    We have to be one of the cheapest in the Championship, especially with concessions.

    Like i said on the other post. Clubs state their prices as the season starts. You can't charge Brum fans £30 and some others £25, unless the club uses different bands for higher grade matches. So, again, if we charge Brum £30 to sit behind the goal then the millers fans pay £30 aswell. Sometimes clubs charge a bit more for extra policing.......an excuse not a reason.
