[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Terrible pricing for the Wrexham game at a time when most are financially stretched...absolute shit for Brains.

True but they have seen an opportunity to fleece 7000 Wrexham fans because its an easy hit. 

It's live on Sky, early kick off and New Years Day. I seriously doubt whether those three have been factored in when they came to this decision.

When we play Sheffield Wednesday next week their prices are £33 for an adult, the same as the Blackburn End but if you buy a ticket from Ewood there is a £2 surcharge. On the link below Sheffield Wednesday there is no mention of a surcharge for buying tickets in person which begs the question why Rovers fans who buy paper tickets are being charged more than the away fans who do the same.

I'll have a moan when the regulars don't turn up and when tickets are available cheaper but in terms of the Wrexham and Sheff Weds games they deserve everything they get.

Which will be about 10k in the home sections.

Then they have nerve to moan about lack of crowds and atmosphere FFS, it's enough to make you give up like thousands of overs.

They just don’t understand fandom, why did Wrexham bring so many last time? Because it was a big cup tie for them, on a crest of a wave and a new ground for the vast majority to tick off.

Of course they won’t bring the same numbers a couple of years later at £35 for a Sky noon kick off on NYD. Cue surprise from the regime when they bring a third of what they had for the previous game.

But if it was £20 all round the stadium we'd be looking at 20,000 + probably.

I see Ipswich play tonight. Not only do they get to replay a game they looked very much like losing but they get extra time to get ready for it !

They don't want over 20k here, far too much hassle for everyone involved.

£10 to bring a friend against Ipswich is a laughable offer.

Ive never understood why people think that anyone has to excuse themselves should they not buy a ticket for a football game.

Well, for me, it's like the guilt for missing Sunday Mass. I was uncomfortable in deciding not to go to the Tuesday night QPR game...and I have a season ticket lol

Worry not, though. These Venky bastards will push me towards a proper lapsed status before long .

Where the fuck are The Coalition??!

Because this is a rearranged game from a Saturday, I don't think it will be on the red button or televised at all.

Unless you are "abroad" maybe 😉

Ah, yes of course, wasn't thinking about that!

Makes the offer slightly more attractive for the floating fan that's desperate to go to this game then.

Trouble is, after one win in eight, I dont think there'll be many if any at all.

I feel the same. Midweeks are always a rush to get back from work, get changed and get down to Ewood. I went on Tuesday, maybe a knock on effect of enjoying Deepdale so much.

I simply can't be arsed with the rushing around next week, especially as I can't easily get my mate's ticket (who never makes midweeks) to bring a friend any more.

The thing is, whilst its not massively hurting them in the pocket, the club know the true attendance figure from Wednesday evening. And they must know that if people who have paid for tickets aren't even bothering to attend, how the hell can they get other people to buy tickets.

Correct they are a bunch of small time operators who get paid their vast amounts whether there is 8k or 18k in the ground.

I think £10 is a great offer for any Championship game but here i think it's being done more out of desperation than anything generous. They've only done it on the back of the recent atrocious midweek turnouts otherwise it would have been on offer weeks ago.

C##ts.

Again the perfect game for a total boycott but has anybody called for it ? No, so apathy will reign again and that is all the powers that be will put it down to.
