To put the prices up for the last game of the season. I thought their stance was lets get the ground full and help make an atmosphere which in turn helps the team to get what will undoubtedly be a massive win. This could possibly be the game that saves us 750000 by staying up. So why risk not getting a full house by doing this? Cant understand the thinking now we will probobly get 5000 for it instead of possibly 7000.

I for one am outraged and I will not be paying for a ticket next week, it is decisions like this that causes bad feeling, I may write to the Mail and vent my anger

That bloody ken hodcroft reducing prices again

Its not about reducing prices it supposed to be about packing the park. They had a price that was working well so why change it for possibly the biggest in game in out history?

£18 is taking the piss to be fair. Should've been £10 and an absolute hell hole for those Exeter players.

No logic, or would he rather have the 300k parachute payment...

still wont be able to get near the bar for a bastard pint at halftime

I think next season the pay on the day prices will come down slightly and the season tickets will go up slightly.

A season ticket will always be the cheapest way to support the team which rewards the loyal fans.

I think the exeter prices will knock over 1000 of the game but that wont bother hodcroft one bit.

Not a chance in hell of the crowd being affected that dramatically by the price changes. It's the last game of the season (albeit a wretched one ) .... Wild horses wouldn't keep most fans away next week 6100

Thanks for pointing this out. Really puts the admission fee in perspective. Zero consideration for the fans.

They might reconsider after today.

They are as per normal taking the piss out of the supports and milking it .we are the club not them twats.

Thats gratitude for you. They put them down for 3 games and now people kicking off cos they put them back to normal. The true supporters have a season ticket anyway.

I didn't get a season ticket out of protest. Yet been home and away even been to watch us in Holland twice spending hundreds of pounds on friendlies in the middle of nowhere. I cant be a true supporter because I didn't get a season ticket. Ior wanted the ground to be full and intimidating so I tell you what we will do for the game we really have to win put the prices up basically putting hundreds of sunderland boro and Newcastle people of supporting us. If they get 7000 then it will be a great decision by the CEO of the year but chances are they wont get near that figure now.

Is this just a moan about Pools site???

I am starting to understand why you lot get so much stick of people i speak to...

Wow only just read this, I presumed when I read they had reduced prices that it was £10 or whatever like before.

Had no idea it was £18.

Pure greed by the ramshackle owning our club. Hopefully the last ever home game under their control and just trying for a few more quid before they fuck off forever.

Everything is rosey though isn't it?

After today's results it looks even more strange.

A win could do the job, they should be making it a fiver and filling the place rather than increasing prices.

It's not like we might need the money is it...?

Yes, when warranted.... it's called thinking.
Do you happy clappy's just believe everything you're told...?

And why do words fail you (yet again ) Chip?

I credited you with more sense than that, thinking I was including exiles in that statement. Of course anyone who lives away or even lives locally but has work commitments gets cut some slack. But I still stand by what I said, a true supporter would buy a season ticket. It is financially stupid not to do so, especially if you are out of work. It has nothing to do with who is a proper fan or better fan, I never said that.

£18 for our final home game of the season is obviously being looked from the financial view and making a few £££'s by our glorious owners! They are hoping for a big crowd given our destiny is still in our own hands. Whether it has impact on Saturday's attendance, who knows but hopefully we're looking at 6,000 or so.

It does make sense to an extent to have a ST based on match day prices but those who are perhaps struggling financially or living away from the area are probably happy paying game by game when they come along. We do seriously need to look at PATG prices next season though as sensible prices might actually entice a few more along regularly.

What an ignorant lack of understanding at how those out of work manage their financial priorities.

I could go on but I can't be arsed.

So your only a true supporter if you have a season ticket? How is that please?

Have Pools 'put the price up' for the last game ?

Err! save up maybe! or borrow or go into debt, like I did when I was out of work. You telling me someone on JSA doesnt cross the threshold year on year? If you put supporting your team at the top of your priority list, you will find the money:shock:

But have they put the price up ?!!

From the stated home game prices, no but its significantly higher than the last few home games

The club know its our biggest and last home game of the season and it will be a big crowd so they are exploiting that by whacking a few extra quid on from what it has been prior to that.

Thanks for this, i now know for certain your on a wind up.

Fuck feeding the kids I'm off to the match.

If watching football is anywhere near the top of your priorities then you have warped sense of perspective.

At last. The price has not been put up !!!

You're not a true fan unless you take a Wonga loan out to buy a season ticket.

I personally went down the local loan shark route. He might have been a known drug dealer but I took my chances.

£7,000 I owed after failing to pay back the £180 in five days (so a slightly better APR than wonga) To be honest the six months in traction and still eating through a straw to this day was worth it as I can stand and look fellow true Pools fans in the eye.

It's arguably the biggest home game in our history so the very slight discount after a generous one that's been a success defies logic.

The pricing isn't logical but that's pools. Someone asked why on twitter and pools just said its because its the last pay day before thr summer.

Surely the clubs realised the current prices are not fit for purpose after the amount and success of the reduced price games. I wonder if these are an attempted trial at new prices for next season.

I would like to see the true balance sheets for this season.
Surely made a tidy profit for a team dicing with its league status.

We would all like the club to be open abot these sort of things, but as per the norm its all smoke and mirrors

I'm not sure what the fuss is about I've been a big a critic is anybody else, but can't see what they are doing wrong on the instance. Big discount on two games was praised, rightly so but they haven't 'raised prices' and they know that it's potentially a big crowd and expect people turning up on the day to pay what they've paid for the vast majority of the season. I would have liked a fiver.acroas the board but.....

I think they are doing themselves out of a potentially really big crowd. Now I reckon between 4,500-5,000 tops. It makes no sense whatsoever to me.

Precisely 5000 -5500 maximum if were lucky so basically there going totally against the whole point of packing the park as they put it. Even on twitter in previous weeks loads of people saying there going because of the offer this week very few people have tweeted about the offer so far. The decision is clueless and so out of touch. Wwe should and probobly would of virtually sold out at a tenner.

It's a one off game in exceptional circumstances...I'd actually charge a fiver, fill the place and make a go of it.

8,300 at Bury tonight for free!

A fiver would have been great but the offer of the last three games that's brought nearly 15,000 through the gate, including 6,000 paying punters would have done. It would have been the biggest crowd of the four due to the pivotal nature of the game. Now? I'm not so sure.

The Bury game was ABANDONED after 6 (SIX) minutes previously. Due to waterlogged pitch. The original game the prices were charged. And they didn't have 8,300 there that night.

And if they charged your £5 do they have to reimburse every season ticket holder. Remember they had to reimburse anyone who had paid the higher price prior to them reducing them for the last 2 games.

Come on Bob wouldn't you support a fiver in? I would want the ground as full as possible and wouldn't want or feel the need to be reimbursed as a STH either

Bury would have gone third had they won tonight, Southend are now fourth. They didn't have to make the game free. It wouldn't have been too difficult to reimburse or give a ticket to the people at the original game would it?

They basically charged nothing for the biggest, in terms of the promotion picture, game in League Two this season.

I think both Bob and I would support it. However, the club have decided against it and this thread was started claiming Pools
Put the price up. They didn't !!!
