    Googled it and this price is what I saw on a couple of RTG posts: "At £150 per place mascots gets a home kit, two match tickets, photos and will meet the full team"

    I don't think that's bad to be fair. Decent value and the kids don't have to know it cost anything.

    It's not bad compared to some of those blood suckers in that list but I'd like us to go the other way and 'charge' them nothing at all and then give them a £100 voucher for the club shop.

    So would I. It's a negligible amount in the grand scheme and it's nice to be nice. At least there is some logic to the pricing.

    Seems to be just the richest clubs offer it for free.

    Or even if the £150 went to the foundation, charity etc...

    Good idea. You would think the good PR that would generate if highlighted properly would proportionally far exceed the money the club would lose. It's really not very much for a club our size.

    A full kids strip, at club cost (not retail price) may be about £10-£20, a couple of tickets, which in reality would have no value, they could donate £100 to the charity and still cover any costs.

    I'm happy with the cost for mascots tbh.

    The waiting list, if it was free, would be endless

    Some of those would be just be doing it for a laugh so kids who are really committed might never get onto the pitch before they're my age <laugh>
