Interesting interview.

The attendance and the £30 ticket have little to do with each other. To hit 90% or 95% of our capacity we'd need to sell out the home allocation. I gather from the article that the £30 a ticket for similar seating does not apply for home fans otherwise some Arsenal fans would be seeing a big reduction in their season passes.

My back of a *** calculation shows the reduction in income from the change, if we get promoted, is about half a million pounds. Depending on next season's season ticket prices and moving the away fans move to Upper West it could be more.

The Premier League's decision may well affect the price the Allams will get for Hull City.

Finally after his comments on Liverpool and supporters buying tickets at reduced prices I wouldn't put it passed him to have considered abolishing the concessionary rates so we all pay the same.

If we get promoted, the cost to us will be zero, as I understand we didn't plan to charge anyone more than £30 anyway.

I'm assuming that the price for similar seating rule is being scrapped, I expect all away tickets for all Premier League games to simply be £30 next season.

What about the away fans money? Isn't that being used to help pay for the £30 per ticket?

The similar seating rule only applies to away fans. Clubs can charge home fans more, even for the same facilities.
 
It's all academic as it only applies to prem clubs, and seemingly Bruce won't get us promoted.
 
The ASI money was just a portion of the TV money already received, it wasn't extra money, the requirement to spend that amount on travelling fans has just been scrapped, so they obviously get to keep it.

I know. The Allams just lose the right to spend it on fixing the away supporters toilets rather than subsidising City supporters away tickets.

£30 maximum for a ticket in the KC makes it more likely they have considered getting rid of the concessions next season given his comments about the Liverpool match.
 
Hi, back there 2 seasons ago.

Welcome to the future.

Things change.

At first it will seem scary, but you'll get used to it.

Or you might just protest against it.

ffs...

This is a particularly laughable post.

You saw the bit in the article where Ehab brags about being different from other clubs in deliberately avoiding spending the ASI fund on his own fans? Even now he's patting himself on the back for another job well done in showing the fans who's in charge.

The only reason he doesn't like this is because it's good for fans. Equally it someone really had enforced the suggestion he came up with in that article, he'd hate it. A rule which forces owners to do everything they can to bring in fans and makes them financially accountable for boycotts? Yeah course he's in favour of that.

He's just ****ing horrible.
 
Reading some of the replies, it's hard to imagine why on earth the Allams don't seem inclined to listen to the diktat from the trust.

The Trust haven't posted on this thread, or indeed made any statement on this matter. If you remember, you suggested that they register an account on here so there was no confusion between the Trust and the views of individual members. The majority of the Trust board don't even post on this board.

That being the case, some of the individual members that play an active role in the trust must be schizophrenic, holding one view on here, and another on the trust.

The club know who some members are, and that they post on here. Some of the stuff posted is hardly likely to show the trust as being a group to expect a reasonable, around the table discussion from.

From some, the attributes that are claimed for the Allams seem mirrored by some members.

It's the AGM tomorrow, perhaps you should wait until then to see who's playing an active roll in the trust.
