I've tried to click onto Towns website, but it's not working for me. Has it crashed already?


It seems to be working now

Controversial opinion here. They’ve got to make their money somehow. There isn’t the same interest or lucrative sponsorship as the higher leagues. It’s like comparing our season ticket prices with Championship/Premier League. Apples and oranges.  


Hold it in a venue that isn't in London for a start to reduce travel and parking costs. £25 a ticket at Villa Park, Hillsborough, any of the 3 in the North East or Etihad for a start would have been fine.

Imagine the London Stadium charges a lot on rent, and the national league wanted to make sure the stadium had some ‘prestige’, with the idea of the London 2012 Olympic Stadium being only second best to Wembley in that regard, plus keeping it as a ‘London trip’ which has focused on National League and club responses to the semis. One of those ‘in theory’ situations, because I bet we could have got a stadium such as Hillsborough, Villa Park (would be basically in their city but with them having a tiny fanbase would just mean both clubs have reasonable attendances etc), for less money, with it easier for fans to go etc, and had a showpiece event which was either sold out or nearly sold out. Instead, the National League get their little day out at a fancy London stadium, with a much smaller crowd suffering awful sight lines. Joke of a decision.

It’s not Wembley and it’s ridiculously expensive. I don’t care, get me there! Cannot wait!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

More expensive than a WHU Cat C game in this tax payer subsidised Stadium. I wonder if WHU will take a share of the revenue or will the stadium fees go to the GLA.

What did pay for the FGR game?

It's going to put off the casuals and friends of London Mariners etc who may have gone along for the ride.

Why bother selling upper tier seats befor all the lower has sold out?


Because the view from the lower tier is shite. The lower tier has a very gentle incline so you’re not much higher than the row in front of you. The upper tier is much steeper and afford a better view.

View the prices by considering an adult ticket is only double what Kings Lynn Town charged for standing. When viewed that way £43 is a bargain.

What do you mean "somehow"? By ripping off fans who are already shelling out ridiculous money to get to London on Jubilee flipping weekend, when they could have had it at any north west or midlands ground that has a capacity of 30lk or more. That's the only way? No doubt the London stadium isn't cheap to hire for the day but that shouldn't be our problem.

Twenty's plenty.

I do wonder if fans of 5th division sides in other European countries would just accept paying €50 on top of extortionate travel costs to their capital, to watch a match in a stadium almost unanimously panned by fans for the experience it offers. Or would they organise? Are we the only mugs? I'm sure I'll get "either pay it or don't, your choice" in response, so i'll save you the time

I take it that  'Concession (u16)'  price of £20 means that there is no reduction for 65+?

The table of ticket prices shows no concessions for Upper Tier at all. I'm not prepared to have a poor view so looks like it's £45 + £3 + 99p for me!
