They have put the price up from the last three well attended games. Which it's fair to suggest makes no sense.

It's only a slight discount from the quite frankly ridiculous place for terrible League Two football, they started.

They haven't put it up, they just haven't reduced it.

They have reduced it, just not as much as they did for the three previous games.

Can you see any logic behind that?

Logic or business sense. Who knows

Neither for me.

At a tenner you'd have had a bigger crowd. Just leave it alone, the adult seating price has increased from the last game by £8.

Plus for me, business sense goes out of the window as the game itself is bigger than any business sense for a one off game surely? £750,000 hit if we go down isn't it?

Plus reducing the prices further has brought in 6,000 extra paying punters over three games, it that not good business sense? We need as many people ground as possible more than ever for this game.

Or they are not so bothered about the 750k?

Maybe Exeter will bring a thousand

I'm a season ticket holder, I don't give a toss if they let people in free, like I said, it's a one off game in exceptional circumstances .
You sound like the barman on the Titanic complaining people are going to the lifeboats before paying their bar bill.....SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE !

They must think they can fill the ground with pensioners and there grand children.

Perhaps the bigger picture is to use what is a potential full house to raise much needed funds. Not my thoughts but maybe how the club is thinking

I think its now widely accepted that any money going in, is going back out via IOR.

So its not unreasonable to suggest that the business sense you mention is good for IOR, but does nowt for HUFC.

Not having it whatsoever, that anyone will be put off going to the game for the sake of a few quid, anyone who uses it as an excuse obviously isn't that bothered about being there

Where did 'bresslaw' say that ???

But people are put off by 'a few quid'. I'm an out of towner but have been going to Pools with my family since the 70's as a small kid, of course I will be there as a die hard Pools fan regardless. However I reckon I could have persuaded a few non Pools fans to come along for a tenner and certainly for a fiver to boost the crowd. Once you're at 15 pounds plus this does become more difficult. Surely everyone understands that logic right?

Bob wont, give him 10 minutes. He's working out the maths now.

It was that Billingham fella don't know how you're in that quote

Polls have reduced price is quite dramatically twice why do they need to do it a 3rd time. If people want to go the they can pay what everyone else has for 90% of the season

I can see both sides here

If the game is a full house at £18 and £15 for adults I will give you a piggy back to Carlisle.

90% of who? Away fans because at normal price they the vast majority of the the pay on the day crowd.

The price is still good for concessions I just see no good reason to change the adult price for the last game. It seems a bit opportunistic and daft.

90 % of the season I said

oThe funds coming in are clearly not going back into the team.
The prices have been set to bring in the maximum income for IOR only.
I dont have a problem about the club maximising there income if it was for the benefit of HUFC.

Like ive mentioned a few times this season we are IOR FC.
A few fans think if we stay up everything will be all rosy for next season.

Ronnie might have control of the retained list at the end of the season but when it comes to bringing in new players that will be a different story.

I hope IOR are serious about wanting to get out but my opinion is they gunna do a massive u turn and carry on taking the piss!

Stay up and new owners come in then the future could be good.

He would be paying what it costs normally though. He should be grateful he didn't pay that for two shit games

I also think it's hard to slate a business for being 'opportunistic'

Just to point out, I said a few days ago it should be a fiver across the board and pools should be wanting to fill the stadium. I'm just arguing against the claim that they have 'put prices up'. They haven't.

Think of all the VAT that putting the price up will cost us...

It should be a tenner for adults, fiver for kids.

simple as that.

Debate it all yer like, but thats what it should be.

Hopefully it will next season

Strange decision, but Du Management can't resist another PR blunder before the end of the season.

I to don't care it was hypothetical question, but one that some will ask and one that some will want the difference back.

Exactly right yubep! £15 or £18 to watch the 3rd worst team in the football league is a discrace. They should have just kept the feel good factor on the prices going and kept it as you say. Now I can get to this match and I'm so reluctant to pay it but I know for a fact I will as the size of the game is massive for us. But can totally understand if supporters who arnt as keen or struggling for money etc don't go. It's a shame but I think the gate will be 4000 maximum.

Did people pay £18 when we were shit at the start and in the middle of the season ?

No. But they didn't pay the £20 either.

Nope. About 6 people probably paid in.

Are you n Bob having a nark off?

He's beating you like, just.

I done it once last year.

Never again.

Quite the opposite. I'm agreeing with bob

Only 4000 at the last home game which was equally as important as Saturdays game with Exeter so I imagine the club thought it hardly worth reducing the prices so far as the response is unlikely be any better than the Accrington game.

The thought of giving £18 to green and hodcroft makes me feel ill.

If I felt like that I would stay away.

It was a Tuesday night with 40 away fans. It's probably the first time we've had over 4,000 home fans on a Tuesday night for about 6 years, possibly longer.

It wasn't equally as important either this is our last chance to win at home this season and a win could make us safe.

It's one of our biggest home games ever.

Lot of people on here reluctant to see prices reduced, you'd think it was their money. Why the greater concern for not giving cheap tickets than getting the fans in.... like dealing with accountants.

At this stage of the season with what's at stake your either going to the match or your not and I think it won't make a vast difference by not reducing prices as far as some would have the club do. Similar scenario if we were at the other end of the division, your either going or your not.

I have a season ticket. I'm not hugely concerned. However, the slagging of off the club for 'raising prices' annoyed me a little

rubbish

Personally I haven't slagged off the club, just questioned the logic and reasoning begind the change in price from the last three games and I'm yet to see a decent argument for it by anyone. We're all season ticket holders, I want to see the ground as full as possible and 100% behind the team.

Exactly. To say your'e not going because its 15 bar instead of 10 is bull shit, if that's the case your'e obviously not that arsed, the average fan in the ground would piss that much away on a pint or two anyway

They have reduced the prices not raised them.

You are saying that as someone who always goes though, not someone who needs an incentive to go. You know.... the extra people we are trying to entice?

You are adding nothing to the thread, at least read it before.

Tex, I've said that all along.

PJ. what, I have read and contributed throughout

My reply was to Tex, he is repeating what you said about two pages ago and was discussed so he clearly hasn't read the thread before his nightly shit stir.
