Making football affordable is indeed a good thing if done for the right reasons. Make no mistake there is nothing noble about these price reductions it's simply desperation from a club who's fans have deserted them big time and they know a whole lot more will be jumping ship soon.

In fact is it even morally questionable to be pricing entry at a level which competes with struggling local non league clubs ?

 

Quite correct It's a move motivated by desperation. If they could get away with charging £500+ for a season ticket then that is what they would do. They proved with the Johnson saga that this image they paint of being a family, community minded club is pretty questionable when they kept quiet and allowed a nonce to continue to ply his trade in front of 1000s of kids.

 

The reality is that the fanbase has desterted them, crowds have halved in less than 12 months, and despite them staring administration in the face they've been reduced to slashing season ticket prices and are even prepared to give huge a number away for free. Seems a strange strategy when gate receipts become ever more important as the TV money starts to disappear.

Potentially, if they can get more people through the doors they can offset the ticket price reduction through sales of food, drink and other merchandise. Assuming they haven't outsourced all of it already.

An U8 needs to be accompanied by an adult - giving away an U8 ticket also sells at least one adult ticket too.

 

Otherwise the likeliness is that neither the U8 or adult would buy one. Childrens tickets in L1 are relatively cheap anyway, by offering this grand gesture they’ll actually make more money by selling more adult tickets.

 

Plus the enhanced food and drink sales across the season.

"A Sunderland fan makes a deal with the devil to beat Newcastle six in a row" - f***ing hell man  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Without reading it, I imagine this would be a brief synopsis:

 

Chapter 1: A sunderland fan makes a deal with the devil to beat Newcastle six in a row

 

Chapters 2 - 7: Every match described in the most precise and minute detail, each given it's own chapter.

 

Chapter 8: Errr, what was the premise of this again? Never mind, 6 in a row, FTM, horse punchas, Jordie Nashun, gravy stained....oh yeah, Satan or something.

 

Epilogue: Haha 6 in a row, horse punchas, Jordie Nashun, gravy-stained, lol, Rafa, f*ck Islam, Britain First, EDL and FTM.

 

The author needs to write a sequel where the Devil tells the Sunderland fan who struck the deal that it's now time to pay the price. He could base the book on everything that's happened to SAFC since they did 6 in a row.

Yep ?

 

 

Makes sense now. Division 1 must be Mephistopheles‘s revenge. He’s landed them all in an ever present private hell.

Echoes of Devil's Advocate, where Keanu Reeves does a deal with the devil and ends up having to defend a paedophile.

People driving like wankers and generally treating other oeople’s cars like shit is a pet hate of mine. Plenty of people spend a good amount of their money on their cars, and it’s often their pride and joy.
