People must be put off by our stadium not being fit to host the NFL

 

There's even pairs available in the East Stand. Haven't seen that since the Mike Ashley & Steve Bruce years!

Crazy! Just had a look there and it’s mad, first time since the takeover that it’s been like this. 
 

Ticket prices

Weather (more for fans from further afield)

Midweek 

Number of home games coming up 

Time of year (ties in with ticket prices)

 

All a factor. Still didn’t expect this, Leeds at home one of the games you look for really as normally a bit of needle.

Club don't feel much financial effect of any of these tickets not being sold do they. They've already got the bulk of the money for each resale seat from the ST payment.

 

So other than some empty seats on the telly it has minimal impact.

What's the alternative to having expensive tickets though ? Cheap ones with an Ashley type owner ?. I know which one I prefer . 

 

Cheaper than current ticketing with the current owner.

 

They've yarked game by game ticket prices up by 25% in 2 seasons for no other reason than the fact that they could get away with it.

 

East Stand, 2023/24 season against Arsenal. Ticket price £43. 

 

That same seat is £72 tonight.

 

You do the math.

PSR has been financially very unfair to fans, gives clubs an excuse and a requirement to milk as much as they can - but nobody, including the fans of the elite clubs that have been replaced by tourists cares about that now so long as the elite clubs are protected

The obvious ones are there is 9 games alone this month! 6 alone at home with 4 of them straight after Xmas. This is when the club will realise next time around prices need to be looked at hopefully.

 

The weather wont help the fair weather supporters I agree but I do feel these 8:15KO are in particular to blame.

 

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the club this morning have sent out invites to discuss how to make travelling to games (Home & Away) easier.

My dad missing only his 3rd home game since 1991 tonight and it's purely down to the KO time. He never, ever leaves before the end regardless of the score but had to against Fulham the other week so he could get home and missed Mileys winner.

I was worried about this on Sunday, we rarely see the temperatures you do up here in Blackpool, but I can tell you, your -5 is warmer than our -1 here, I wasn't cold at all, even took my hoodie off in the first half. I was pleasantly surprised.

Feel like we'll ship a few goals tonight unless Eddie moves Pope more central

Aye the 8:15 seems to have an impact to fans living in places such as Cramlington for getting home from what I’ve read on Twitter.

 

Sky Sports are utter cunts.

I dont think many of the "other" fans really cares, the only thing they care about is that we or others dont spend more or as much as the cartel clubs. They will continue to listen to Ferdinand and Carragher about the elite clubs are the only one that should be allowed to spend, and they are ok with it. But you wait and see if someone rich buys them, then they will wake up. 

 

Also owners/chairmen of not the welthiest clubs, dont want others to spend either, so they will keep voting with the cartels club as they dont want others to be able to spend more than they do. In the Ashley days would we have cared about the PSR? No hope, no ambition, mid table finnish was the goal.
