So that's a 'Yes I want to watch premier league football and championship prices' then. Thanks for the clarification. Who pay's for the petrol in your car as you seem so apposed to paying for things yourself.
Nope, I was pointing out that your argument is bollocks. You have no idea what I do and don't pay, nor what I'm prepared to pay.
Can I just ask, how do you watch Championship prices? Is it like the stock market? Do you study the fluctuation & pounce when the price is right?
Why is it. These new prices are bang in line with average PREMIER LEAGUE prices we were paying CHAMPIONSHIP prices. We are paying PREMIER LEAGUE football so we need to pay PREMIER LEAGUE prices. You clearly don't like the idea of paying the going rate and wanted our chairman to subsidise you so I assumed you didn't like paying the going rate for petrol and wanted someone to subsidise you on this as well.
We travel from Newark every home game which adds a good £750 a season on top of our passes with travel etc so we are looking at just under £1,800 next season for the Premier League not to mention the additional cost of the Europa League which is going to take us well over the 2 grand mark. We've got some away games in the midlands Stoke, Villa, West Brom, Leicester and hopefully Derby too - think it might be a case of pick and mix next season!
I looked at a list of 2013-2014 prices. In fact here have a look for yourself. http://www.pricingplaybook.co.uk/sp...n-ticket-prices-20132014-update-and-analysis/ =Chamionship. http://www.theguardian.com/news/dat...ier-league-ticket-prices-club-charge-the-most =Premier league. Then I looked at our prices for next year in comparison.
You're too busy trying to be clever and angry to actually see what's posted. The price of the tickets is liable to cost the Club (not the chairman) more. **** all to do with what I do/don't will or won't pay.
The massive increase in payments to the club from TV rights means that the scale of the increase is not necessary. We would have got more money by beating Everton.
I know what you mean but the post was extracted from a thread and rather than delete parts, I left it all in, in context it was fine but on here it looked wrong, sorry.
The chairman doesn't pay for it. He lends the club the money and charges 5% per annum interest. Unless he converts the loans into shares he, or his family, can get every penny back over time.
You're talking proper bollocks. I don't think anyone's asking for football to be free. We finished 16th, we aren't an average PL team. We certainly shouldn't be charging more than the likes of Swansea, Villa and Sunderland, where the demand is much greater.
I know, but its only revenge against those that haven't got the money, because of their personal circumstances, to pay the increase. Its a petty man that targets the poorest to get their personal satisfaction, in my view. For me its another season without putting any more money into his coffers than I have to.
This....hurting the people who can least afford it....any one would think he was a tory politician devoid of all sense of reality of what its like in the real world during a recession ...o hang on a minute !
That's not really true is it, if you add the rugby club attendances to ours, it's bigger than the amount Sunderland get.
Most cities of our size have got either multiple football clubs or other well-attended sports. RL gets **** crowds, it's no competition. They rarely even play on the same day as City and plenty of people support both. The problem is there's loads of people in Hull who consider themselves football fans but don't watch live football. Success used to be the reason, but we've done nothing to engage those people who missed the boat 20-30 years ago.
I do wonder sometimes if the lack of a geographic rival actually reduces our crowds. The Office banter from some clubs adds to the interest from others in my opinion.
Similar, except I have a fair few miles on top of that from Leicestershire. I plan on doing every Europa League game home and away. It's going to be an expensive season, it's unfortunate this small price increase has clashed with a continental adventure, but when alls said and done we're talking shrapnel here to put us more in line with rivals costs. Some of Leicesters standard season tickets are weighing in at £700, but nobody is moaning around ere, in fact they're very content with a fair and reasonable hike to their ticket prices.
Ball park figures here, 100 quid on 15,000 season tickets brings in 1,500.000. Minus those who don't renew at approx 500 quid ( who knows how many ), which will again be ofset by increased numbers of single entry tickets for the big games at a higher price. But it is still a coparatively small amount of money compared to total income while in the premier league.
