Firstly, I posted this link in the hope of getting some discussion on the positive aspects of the article. Things like keeping players, but everyone has jumped on the pricing of tickets.
ymip, I arrived at the stadium at half two for St Mirren game, went into shop, which is also the ticket office, and purchased my two tickets with no problem whatsoever. I also know they were still selling at ten to three.
CC does not have anything to do with pricing structure, thats for the Chief Exec and his team. We are not the most expensive but I do agree that we should have a pricing structure based on where we sit etc. Someone quoted Wigan prices. Yes they did half theirs. From ave £40 to ave £20 for the next seven games, only one of which is seen as a glamour match v Newcastle. I have friends who are Portsmouth fans and regularly pay £45 to watch their team. For the Chelsea's and Man U's they'd be lucky to get a ticket for under £60.
When drawing comparrisons with Falkirk people should bear in mind that quite a few very large Central Belt companies provide financial support to Falkirk. When next at their stadium look around at the advertising boards. Falkirk has been established for a lot of years and has a decent fanbase. Their figures went down when they got relegated but, as can be seen from this year compared to last, they are on the increase. In the season before they were relegated average gates were over 8000. If they survive this season then I can see them heading towards that again.
