    Every week we are the lowest/2nd lowest.
    What is the reason? Is it prices?
    The one and only disappointment from last night.
    Apart from their goal and Dykes' miss!

    I thought the atmosphere was excellent last night, admittedly with a smallish crowd.
    Tuesday night and a good turn out by Hull though.

    Also someone said last night we haven't scored up the loft end all season. Meaning only first half goals at home?
    Any stato out there who can find out the longest run from start of season of no goals up loft end?

    It's down to being £36 a ticket, even for away fans. I said before if they lowered it to between £26-£28 and got 17000-18000 then they'd still make more. I know we're skint but sometimes the powers that be just don't think things through very well !

    I agree HB. That would make far more sense (and noise).
    Hopefully post holidays and we keep winning, they'll be back.

    Tickets are not cheap. I am sure cost is the biggest factor preventing people attending games in person. Tickets are roughly 30-36 quid. Add in a bite to eat and a few pints and that's a good 60/70 pounds blown in 2/3 hours. With inflation, people are being forced to choose between their beloved team or filling the tank or paying lecky and gas bills.

    We have the second most expensive season tickets in the league, only Bristol City charge more for for their top price tickets. Even our discounted ‘seniors’ tickets are more expensive than most clubs highest priced STs. I don’t know how many we sold for this season compared to last and pre covid, but with inflation you can almost guarantee that there will be less sold next season. The club will also suffer from inflation, who knows how much it costs for the floodlights and stadium lighting per game.

    For neutrals, there's Premier League Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford taking their attention in West London.
