Absolute rip off.


I'd be fuming if we did it.


To be fair i dont think drawing Sutton would result in us putting prices up

I wouldn't be too sure.  

Ask mighty  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I'd be more annoyed if I was an Arsenal fan. They can see their team in the Premier League away from home for £30.

That is terrible. For me what they should do is say for anyone going to the Arsenal game if you bring the stub before the next home game they'll exchange it for a free ticket to that game. Or for season ticket holders just give them say £10 off the price.

How much would it cost them to get in a the Emirates?

I've paid more to watch Town so let them make a bit. Like the idea of ST holder being cheaper, but hey.

I went to watch Arsenal v Ludogoretz in October at the Emirates and it cost me £40 admission

I can see why they'd make a scheme like this to cash in on those people who'l turn up to see Arsenal but have never bothered with their little local club, it is also a slap in the face of those that do though. Be a bit drunk off if you turn up for years to watch against every pub team they play and when they finally get a bit of success they demand a premium from you.

I think it's a filthy trick.
There's a good chance that some old boy who's struggling on a state pension and goes every week now won't be able to afford it.
Hope it bites them in the bottom in the long run.


Totally agree with you mate.


Grimsby and proud!

If they could ensure that the couple of thousand who have followed Sutton for a while would get tickets and pay a reasonable price then I would have no problem with them ripping off the tosspots who will suddenly pretend they even knew Sutton had a football club.  As it is I feel sorry that many of the real Sutton fans will get hit wth this.
