Bolton boycott

£90 before you've had anything to eat or drink to watch league 1 football is laughable.

Football can't do anything about the other costs, but it certainly doesn't need to be smashing the hammer as well. What you charge home fans shouldn't come into it, clubs should be giving away fans a break for the time, money and effort they put in.
 
It's a one off expensive game, but the first match of the season under a new regime and rebuilt team and I for one am more than happy to pay a premium for this. The new regime needs our support and to walk out onto the pitch to see a packed and noisy away following. There must be other ways to protest (rightly) that don't have a potentially negative effect on the team.
 
I hope on commission for the masks as I was the first to mention Dick :)

Good job you lot didn't go to the Euros ,£145 a game was face value ,but fair play the fanzone was free. Btw very quiet in the press today about the French kicking off after the game last night. Must have been some pesky English fans involved surely ?

 
They will start at 30 if they can still get their numbers in they will put it up next season.
A good way to get their money in who cares what the fans have to pay.

If you were previously planning on going to Bolton but are now definitx3ely not travelling, please sign below and we'll keep a running total of "missing" income for them.

I, for one, am not going.

I can make a lot of noise and complain, for the sum total of fuck all. Or I can keep my money in my pocket and hit them where it actually hurts. If enough people to it, they will take notice... eventually.

I love my club and have followed them from Carlisle to Plymouth. But that love for my club does not mean I have endless cash to line the pockets of footballers and the Football League.

The Football League sells itself throughout the world on its fantastic support at lower league levels. If they allow this level of pricing in the third division, they are complicit in the slow death of the game we all love.

So 1: £30

X 6 here me my 3 sons and my mate and his son .
 
I live a couple of miles down the road so it would be madness for me not to go. In the long run cheaper than the homes games i go to. So i am going. But it is scandalous!

My mate is a Bolton fan he said even tho Eddie Davies wrote off the loans The consortium who bought Bolton basically did it with what amounts to a Wonga loan only corporate. He says they are paying excessive interest on it and he wouldn't be surprised if they end up in administration. They have to raise a few million to pay it off but none of there players are saleabe assets to anywhere near that sum. Also, in a nigel adkins style move, their keeper (ex man u can't remember name.. is it amos). They give him like a 20 odd grand a week contract n can't get rid etc. So it seems to me they are desperate so obviously fleecing fans. not sure how much home tickets are but when we played Bolton in the cup a few years ago when Megson was there manager. We couldn't get away tickets so got home tickets and sat with all the 20 or 30 fans that they have. I think it cost us a tenner each!

I do recall the 28 quid many paid to see us whipped by Huddersfield at the Lane in 2011.

.....or don't bother with any of it? I don't believe it's my job to prop up my struggling club whilst the big boys hoard the revenue streams. If the powers that be loved football they would distribute the money properly.

I suspect there'll be many that will say they're not going to go now that probably wouldn't have gone anyway.

Frankly Barney I wouldn't go anyway. I need real signs of football being played for the first time since 2011 12 to even think of going away.

At the moment, me and mrs mobile are deciding whether to go to Bolton or to our place in Majorca for that weekend. At the moment, the choice is £95 for four of us to go to Bolton on Saturday afternoon or £120 for the two of us to go Friday to Sunday to Majorca. Sorry kids, I think the sun is winning. (Enjoy the weekend at your grandmothers).

If I had the option of Majorca United would be seeing one extra empty seat every week.
 
I with the majority on here £30 far too much & ridiculous for 3rd tier game. & they are taking advantage of our support. I dont mind spending more & I have £40/45 & £55 but that was for Old Trafford & Wembley. Not the prestigious Macron Stadium v a newly relegated side 150m in debt

Although I am in favour of charging Bolton £35 for the reverse fixtures

Not me, although I understand the temptation.

The thing is, if we screw the Bolton fans with a hefty ticket price, all it means is that ordinary fans have been fucked over in both games. It won't hurt those who are charging these daft prices.

And expect our fans to pay £35 for the equivalent seats at Bramall Lane? Because that is the rule.

The Huddersfield boycott didn't make much sense really because home supporters were also charged £28. I got a £2 discount from being a member and paid £26, however it was a top of the league clash and local derby.

I seem to remember Huddersfield were playing MK Dons around the same time and were being charged £25 there, so not much difference. When you took into account petrol etc it was cheaper to go to Sheffield than Milton Keynes.

I suppose we'll make it a cat A against Bolton and will charge them £27, so not much cheaper really.
Where will it stop?
 
Nahh x 2 (£60)

I very grudgingly pay £25 for league one football. So definitely not paying that much. I've said before I think league one tickets should be max of £17

Huddersfield is not a local derby.

Although I think home and away ought to be priced the same as one another. They all endure the same division 3 drivel after all.
