The incentive is the magnitude of the game, the last one of the home season. Further incentive is you can get in for 15quid

Are floating fans aware or the magnitude of the game? Will floating fans see it as a discount when none of them have payed in at full price since they got ridiculous and it's more expensive than the last three games?

Who amongst us knows what floating fans are aware of? If they know anything of Hartlepool United, i'd suggest they have an inkling of the size of Saturdays game.
I'm just struggling to picture the scenario where someone who was intending to go to the game, thinks actually no I wont go because its 15 quid, fuk it im not paying for Hodcrofts holiday. The crowd on Saturday, despite Exeter only bringing 50 or so, will top 5000

Exeter will bring more than 50 for a start they are playing pretty well and the last two three O'Clock kick offs have topped 5,000, this game should be 6,000+ Will it be? Now I doubt it.

You'll have to go round the back and start queuing at 39minutes to get served

Do we know how many turned up last couple seasons for the final home game?

Of course we won't get a 6000 gate on Saturday and PJ will be able to say "I told you so".

Hardly comparable for meaningless fixtures is it?

I can't quite get my head round why some on here get so vociferous about ticket prices and defend them to the point where they defend the clubs action yet casually tell us that if people want to come they'll cough up the cash. Odd that, keen to protect the clubs income but sod the poor punters who turn up.... some comments make them sound like the League of Gentlemen.... a local club for local season ticket holders as though the floating voters are like a piece of dog shit, something you don't want.

Agreed, never understood why some fans seem to want non season ticket holders to pay more! Shouldn't you want your fellow mates n poolies to pay as little as poss?

This time last year it was 5 pound in across the board n I seem to remember the same people saying the same thing, as they do every year.

Its an absolute bargain for concessions but I'm not sure why its such a jump to the normal seating price. As its been said, its great value for concessions, standing isn't bad but seating is only a discount if you pay on the gate normally. I think the only real complaint is about the seating price seen as that's up £6 compared to the previous discounts compared to the £5 for the standing.

Perhaps its just because the seating has been selling out so they're trying to milk it as far as they can thinking it'll be the same again or at worst they will just stand instead. They will have pushed it a bit too far for some but others will still go. Looking on an individual ticket basis it might be a fiver extra but if someone takes there misuses or has 16 year old kids with no ID and are paying in then it soon adds up

You dont feel that?

I like to think we can differentiate between "the club" and Hodcroft and smithers. They are not "the club".

I also agree with Snowy. But there again, nothing surprises me anymore with the usual suspects on here.

and anyway all of you lot going and wanting a big crowd are selfish bastards.

Pools always get beat when we have a big following.

If we need a result at Carlisle we are more likely to get it in front a small crowd than we are with a big crowd and a huge atmosphere. If we take 2000 to Carlisle and lose, and the fans fault.

The above is all factual.

Brought up on abysmal crowds for most of my life supporting pools, the big crowds bring with them that nervous wariness on the part of the regulars and unbridled triumphal expectation on the part of the rest....... sadly, it can end up in disappointment.

Corrected it for you

If we stay up then i can guarantee Russ Green will unleash his sales patter to shift another 3000 season tickets.
Followed by yet another relegation battle!

Depressing thought that, but I suspect you are right.

Its probably also right to predict Green will celebrate like he is the messiah if we do escape.

And lets get the wording right on that. We will have escaped. Escaping like this is not to BE celebrated long term.

There should be casualties because of it. And he should be first to go.

Unless he invites me round for a lovely 30 minute belly tickle.

Then I might join his gang.

Still wouldnt trust him with my cash but.

The irony of Ken and Russ celebrating avoiding a fine mess they got us into in the first place.

Einhorn is Finkle... there was ironing there as well.

Delicious ironing everywhere.

Which bits rubbish Billy?

The bit about 4000 crowd
