Having been (effectively) accused of been a Pig by Alcoblade after offering concerns about how our clubs run…I’m offering a high5 to the Prince and his team for milking us dry. Let’s be right, it’s becoming a very concerning path that we are taking.yeah 41 quid in south stand sorry mr abdullah united fans arnt mugs and wont pay those prices
Some of the POTG fans could become regular fans / future ST holders if the prices were reasonableShameful pricing. The club don't care at all for POTG 'customers' and simply happy to take advantage of away fan loyality.
I'm clinging on to the hope the club dont apply a similar hike to future ST pricing.

AyeAnd yet the Derby fans clapped along with it. And have benefitted from it. We couldn't afford to sign Waghorn (wages) at the time they were lower table and we were pushing to come up. They should have been relegated not Wycombe who presumably are not gaming the wage levels.
The FL has shown it cant put pressure on these clubs to change - so maybe we need to do that via their supporters. What do we owe Derby County fans, years of 'hospitality' at the baseball ground in one of the worst rusty throwbacks ever?
But hey lets shaft our club to be fair to other fans who support clubs that cheat!
Genuine question (for once) to all & sundry-In an ideal world I agree but the owners reply might be
I’ve shown ambition by putting my money where my mouth is
so now I’m waiting for the fans to back it up and show their ambition by putting their money where their mouth is.
We’re kind of copying the Chansiri model and it’s a concern. If you buy a season ticket the pricing isn’t too bad.
We’ve kept all our best players this season and added some new talent.
Who would have thought we’d have 80 million pounds worth of players sat on the bench against Preston.
That statistic is incredible and something we’d have only dreamt of a few year ago.
Prices for POTG are bad. Really bad - to think that someone would have to pay £35+ to sit on the kop for ANY Championship game. It isn't on.
I live 160 miles away (not Swindon anymore but still close, Newbury) and a season ticket where I attend 75% of the time is better value. (And that's what I'm doing).
For someone like me, (miles away) who can't/won't pay for a season ticket (whereas I can); games are prohibitively expensive. We shouldn't underestimate ourselves, we ARE Sheffield's strongest club and we WILL be back in the top flight before the other lot. Let's make it as easy as possible for anyone in Sheffield, and beyond to get on board.
I don’t think the Derby fans have had much input into the financial strategy of the football club.So Derby fans are moaning about ticket prices when they have been cheating financial fair play for years. Isn't this a chance for our club to try and redress their cheating albeit by a little bit?
(Apparently another 9 point deduction is pending for them soon - although I did hear this news from a Wednesdayite)
And also I would be totally calm with charging more to away fans whose clubs have been involved in financial cheating and/or gone into admin and not paying their bills (pigs, Derby, Birmingham, Leicester, Leeds etc).

Or in MorrisonsYou’re sat facing away from the pitch.
Genuine question (for once) to all & sundry-
How much money have the owners actually put “where their mouth is”
no they wont blades fans wont be taken for mugs scoring loads of goals or not they wont be ripped off financiallyBlafes prices are too high, but its all about demand. Now we are playing well and scoring goals, blades fans will still buy tickets. The club knows this, and they will squeeze it all they can.
It is still a shabby way to treat away fans in any league. We need the away end full to make the game better all round.
Leeds ticket prices are as bad as oursjust checked and the Tuesday 18th September 2018 away at Leeds they took 288 fans, don’t know if that’s a usual amount
From what I gather Compass paid the club for the catering franchise, and they trouser the takings.is that how the contract is structured? Outsource the catering and take nothing in revenue?
GRANDSTAND ……. what the fuck is that ??
Against PNE we had nearly 80 million players sat on the bench in a 2nd tier level game.
Good points. A shame DCFC didn’t follow them !Many of fans insisted we wouldn’t buy anyone in the transfer window because we lack ambition.
Many insisted we’d sell off all our most saleable assets including Berge.
Eventhough we’ve not sold any players we’ve still brought in players
It means we now have a massive 30 man squad….all need paying….most on very high PL wages.
Against PNE we had nearly 80 million players sat on the bench in a 2nd tier level game.
Thats pretty obscene…this season we’re the Man City of this league….and have a big advantage.
We’ve sacked a manager and targeted the “on paper” best replacement and also allowed him to bring in his back room staff from Spain.
We’re still showing ambition to achieve instant promotion.
My concern is if we fail to gain promotion then a down sizing strategy will be required.
When we start offloading players and massively reducing salary costs…..it’s at that point our fans will question why they are paying high ticket prices.
This season even with high POTD pricing our gates will still be the best in this league but if we fail to gain promotion then once we start balancing the books based on our reduced income then gates will edge nearer the hardcore 20K.
Why not just charge £1,000,000 per ticket? We only need 1 fan per match and we’re laughing.Good points. A shame DCFC didn’t follow them !
Now about to go into Administration with points deductions of as much as 19 points quite possible.
I feel that those running our club are doing a good and sensible job. If that means charging more for matches than some on here think is right, then so be it. I don’t want us to follow Derby and possibly others into oblivion.
