I think that to some degree we have been protected from price rises  for services inour North East Lincs bubble . I pad £16 for a gin and tonic in Cambridge yesterday.

Take Cambridge off then for places to go..Crikey £16 !!!

Ffs. Providing our train is cancelled I'll be travelling with 2 10year odds in the back of the car so have space for a solo traveller if anyone is on my route.. I'll be travelling up the M5 from Taunton across the M4, don't want any petrol money but we are aiming to arrive at 12ish at the Merlin pub for some food

Train is cancelled, match tickets booked today.
Hoping a win today will inspire a few extra people to travel to Swindon next weekend.

Quoted from Hagrid
oh for an away day in barnets brilliant bar behind the stand and getting in for a tenner at coalville!

27 quid is a joke but that's the climate we are in unfortunately


I think Histon was the cheapest wasn’t it - when we won 6-1 I remember questioning the turnstile operator if had he given me too much change for me and 3 kids. I think was something like £12 for all of us.

If we compare to the biggest game in Europe this week Bayern v Moan Utd - you could get a standing ticket for 19 Euro. It’s the climate for football in this country. All seater was probably the trigger for big price increases. Town don’t have much choice - based on tickets sold, our occupancy will be the highest in League 2 - a lower price band would hit our revenue a lot. Notts and Bradford have such big capacities they can be much more creative with pricing.
We could have done if we still had our 3 open corner terraces.

The terracing was too shallow for seating.

Yes fair point - but also adding to the point about the climate for football in this country - it is utterly ludicrous that people can stand at the biggest of European games for about fifteen quid but not at Blundell Park.
