sorry if its already been covered..

tickets down to 25 quid - does this mean away fans as well?

I don't think it does. Mine has apparently been purchased for me at 42 snots.

aye, but that story says that (home) fans who have already purchased will get a refund of the price difference.

it says away fans is now 32 notes

the clunts.

Where's my tenner you bastards?

I remember paying £42 for a ticket there a couple of seasons back. Makes no sense. It's a sh*t-hole of a stadium an'all.

A week later they charged Sp*rs fans £30. It's infuriating.

I wonder if Joe Hart will play against us.

No player on loan is allowed to play against their current employer to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

Never knew that,thank fook.

The OS now reporting that ticket prices have been reduced for Brum.........

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Tickets-and- ... es-reduced

Check this crock of shit out from Gold......I can't remember the exact ratios but ticket revenues are relatively minor income sources for Premiership clubs

If you knock off ten quid per ticket off their average attendance you would lose about 240k of gate revenue

And then if you get more people in your (gate only.....ignoring food and beverage and merchandise) revenue would go up as follows:

3000 more people 96k
4000 more 128k
5000 more 160k
sell out 192k

So you might be, worst case scenario about 5,000,000 down on turnover, best case scenario just under a million. Not, if you ask me, going to get you relegated. Pykey bearded old gypsy porn peddling cunt


David Gold, Birmingham City's outgoing chairman, has warned the club's new owner, Carson Yeung, that reducing ticket prices could result in relegation. Yeung, whose new board of directors will be unveiled at a press conference today, has cut the cost of admission for the Premier League visit of Manchester City on 1 November.

It is one of Yeung's first gestures to fans who may regard him with suspicion after a protracted takeover. But Gold, who is stepping down after 16 years at St Andrew's, does not believe the move can prove a long-term success.

"Sadly, the model for reducing prices doesn't work," Gold said. "In the event that you cut your prices in half you do not double your attendance. Often fans say if you cut your prices you will fill the stadium – it is not true.

"What I have been lobbying for through the FA, and particularly when I was in the Football League, was for prices to be cut universally, across the board, every club reducing their prices.

"You can't do it individually, and Carson will find, if he keeps doing it individually, he will get relegated. Fans will love him but he will get relegated because the model doesn't work. If all your competitors cut their prices it's fine, it does work. But what will happen is the other clubs won't cut their prices and they will get promoted or not relegated, so the model doesn't work."

I thought this wasn't obligatory, and also that it didn't apply if a loan fee had been paid (although I don't know if one was for Hart).

Edit: sorry, just checked, and Hart cannot play against us.
