They club has no money as it is. Reducing prices for a maybe a few hundred more people would be stupid. People moan about the mismanagement of the club and it's the same people who moan we're not letting people in on the cheap. You'd be moaning if it was a Championship club coming and people was getting in for cheap. Seen as so you pay £18 every week for a ticket wouldn't you.
Instead of moaning why don't you support the club.
Spot on as is cleethorpes_mariner:: no doubt the Club hasn't even looked at it yet but some bitchh like its a done deal. They must all be dimwits in charge (Noddy and Big_Ears) to coin a phrase courtesy of JF, all because as ever some jump the gun where others TBH hold the view that quite possibly reducing the prices substantially is not likely to increase the gate anyway. diehardmariner are you real!!!!!Why are people surprised? The clubs attitude towards the dwindling fanbase has stunk for years. Anyway tightarse Fenty is bound to be wrong. 20% VAT passes on the HMRC:: A point for those with superior calculations and knowledge. |

Both club have to agree, we obviously did to yesterday's prices and seemingly someone hasn't for the replay. Its a flipping boring debate every time we have a cup game...you support a club and you choose to go to te match. If we get Chelsea away in the 3rd round and it's £40 a ticket will the moaning girl privates not go then???
If we end up having a decent run the slight reduction in price won't seem that relevant. We are hardly playing a side which excite you and we all know that we aren't too good either...the attendance will be lowish regardless of price. The plastics will stay and watch the over paid twits in the champions league ad claim to be lifelong city, manure fans etc and then you'll get people working shifts, those that live away may not make the journey being a night game and the moaners won't go so to be fair the attendance won't be that great anyway...

Sadly, I seriously doubt that halving the prices would double the crowd, so I can see where the club are coming from on this.

Hang on a sec, Josh. I'll be there regardless so your point about supporting the club instead of moaning is a bit mute really. The reason we've had no success before has to be down to the crappy marketing of it. The lack of new blood coming through the gates is frightening. The club aren't doing anything about it and with a degree of sympathy will struggle to do so for league games. This is the perfect chance to get people in and hooked for more than one game. Forget about how much extra we would make with normal prices, this is much bigger than that. Any clubs lifeblood is its fans, ours are leaving in droves with no replacements through the turnstiles. The club is dying, yet people are still obsessed with relatively small figures over one game. One game that we shouldn't have accounted for. Sooner rather than later this club is going to be dependent on its fanbase, the larger that is the better. |

Despite GTFC's indifferent PR attitude to its fans (with the exception of the free coaches a couple of years ago) i can understand the thought that we need every penny we can get and has been said, halving the price doesn't mean doubling the crowd, but reducing to say £10 (as Vale did) would almost certainly put a few hundred on the gate, meaning revenues would be similar and it creates a better atmosphere in the ground to cheer the team on, obviously the club are in a difficult financial position, but a bit of PR towards the fans might
well be beneficial in the long term.

Port Vale are a league side , who was facing us a NON LEAGUE team, So they had to put the prices down to get their fans through the gate, On the otherhand, we are a NON LEAGUE team facing a massive club who play in the football league, So imo Town should have put the prices UP not down,  We need the money because we have not got any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't agree Pete, we need stayaway fans back in the ground, game against league opposition would help the interest so would a bit of lateral thinking from the club. |

Well now the big draw of going to salisbury city is on the cards a bumper crowd will surely turn out to see us through so they could probably increase prices above normal !!

But reducing prices isn't going to make people return to the Park. Like someone has said above me, people wouldn't moan if we had Chelsea away and you had to pay £40 for a ticket. It wasn't so long ago we was playing Vale in the league and you would have been paying the same price. |
