Christmas Tree Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Are there no threads on here where we can nod knowingly and contemplate how well things are going overall. Finances getting sorted, great start to a season, excellent signings standing out, still in the cup, Pardew getting better, money in the bank for the Jan window, Graham Carr already sourcing the new number 9 etc etc etc.? Im sure a lot of clubs must be looking on jealously at how things are turning out here. This guy came from TT!? He got laughed off there for posting stuff like that, yes. Not at all Just think its a bit silly to ignore all the good things that are going right at the club be it by method or luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's that easy, my view of being balanced may be a little different from your view of a balanced outlook sometimes. ...but yes, CT is somewhat/very happy clappy I grant you.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Surprised we're one of the cheapest. I take it we eventually submitted figures for the survey, as I'm sure we were one of the only clubs to not reply to the initial request (much to the dismay of some on here).

Not sure we needed to bother. Hardly takes much to find out the price of a ticket, pie or program. That said it still seems like a bit of a half arsed/misleading survey. You can spend more than £37 on a ticket at ours for a start, but yeah, our average ticket is pretty reasonable, especially compared to London clubs (which is why a club like Spurs can apparently make more than us on a matchday despite their lower attendances).

Neil Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 It's interesting for face value and seeing roughly what clubs are charging, but it's a misleading survey seemingly commissioned to satisfy the general rhetoric of "look how expensive football is". For example, it doesn't include anything to do with travel costs which are a big part of match day expenses for many fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got this at the time, surely it's not too hard for them to find out considering the prices are publicly advertised. It's not as if you walk up to the stadium and have to barter to get in with some shady figure on the door and then barter further with an even shadier bloke when you want your pie and pint.
