Agree entirely. 

I was talking about walk up home tickets. If it's a piss take 215 miles away then it's a piss take on your own doorstep.

But people always ignore the words and ignore the sentiment. It's stupidly expensive, but as you say if you can afford a trip to Leeds, or from Leeds to Bristol, a fiver to a tenner isn't going to make the difference. I paid £32 at Ashton Gate. And we don't even get a dedicated away bar and refurbished refreshment facilities. Mind you we don't get the wooden seats and restricted views either so it's a moot point.

I may be wrong but I don’t believe tickets in your south stand, cheese wedge and kop are £39 are they? I was under the impression it was just the east and west stand.

Our ticket prices are piss poor as well but that seems to get overlooked on here. 

I could stomach paying £39 to watch Bielsaball, but paying £42 to sit in the Williams stand to watch our shower of shite takes the piss.

£39 on the ticket actually, but the point is taken.

However it's not far off a walk up ticket at your place, and if you;re travelling 450 miles round trip then a fiver surely is neither here or there. 

The 'it's the principle' argument doesn't cut any ice, by the way. If you're in for £32 you're in for £39.

There's no consistency in the Championship. We've paid £20 at Reading, £35 at Fulham,  £36 at Barnsley, and £39 at Sheffield Wednesday. 

The first game cost me £250 all in. Well worth it as one of the best away days there is. But we got charged £32 all the same.

Blackburn will be £40. Home fans have to pay it too. Crazy. It was £25 for you I think.

 

 

I won’t pay it at our place mate, let alone travel 200 miles to Leeds and pay more.

Modern day football can f@@k itself as far as I’m concerned.

It's not the dosh, or any principles. It's the bloody inconvenience and effort involved. The tedium (almost as tedious as the football). Four hours, on the motorway, to watch Bristol City?! Can't be arsed. Ffs, bad enough going half an hour to AG every other week (do you know how impossible it is to park within four minutes walk? I now have to leave the Dolman on 79 minutes to beat all the bloody early leavers skipping off on 82/83 minutes. Cuh!) We're City til about 20 minutes north of Birmingham. If yer lucky.

Anyone know which streams we're watching it on?

You can always join the home supporters in the "fans village" or go into the sports bar - a lot of away supporters do that, no problems as long as you behave yourselves. And there is a dedicated away beer outlet outside the away stand.

The away facilities at Elland Road are from the 70's with lousy grub (my "pie" went in the bin as it was inedible and could have set the place on fire it was so bloody hot) and shit beer. I'll be having that pleasure again in a couple of weeks.

 

We use our pies as handwarmers. ? Just about right to eat at full time...

Obviously I've never been in the away end since it was 'refurbished' but those who have left reviews on Football Grounds Guide do seem to like the visit overall.

The Atyeo is horrible inside by the way. But then very few 'old' grounds seem to be particularly nice, and that's an end that doesn't seem to have been refreshed much since the away fans were put in there.

They're £34 for Cat A games and £29 for Cat B (we've had just one of those this season, but fair enough given some of the football on show). They are largely taken by season tickets though, so there are probably only 1,000 or so available when they go on sale and of those a fair few are restricted view.

That's the honest answer. ?

There's no way I would travel from Leeds to Bristol simply for a game unless it was a crucial match. I make it a weekend and budget accordingly for it. Bristol is too good a city to fly in and out without sampling the hospitality!

Do you remember the old East End? It makes the Atyeo look like The Ritz in comparison. :D

I loved it! Like a more spacious Luton.

Could sneak a tab in the corner at the back. And there was always that edge when fans came into contact at the end of the Williams Stand. Always handbags, but 'old school' all the same.

So what you’re saying is that apart from Reading, we aren’t too badly priced..?! 
 

I agree with your general point about a fiver here or there, but there’s simply no need for Leeds to be the dearest, especially with the crowds you get. 

And whilst being big, Elland Road isn’t even a nice ground. Outdated, unimproved - it’s not even like the ticket cost is funding a superior Matchday experience, facilities wise.

So did I mate, I do miss it. The redevelopment is superb and it's probably as good a modern redeveloped ground as you'll find I think but it doesn't compare in terms of experience.

I've just twigged your username, took a while..... see you in a couple of weeks :D

You're in the middle upper region as there are  lot around £26-£28. The median is probably nearer £30.

One of the reasons that we're dearer is that Radrizanni will not, or cannot, invest millions into the club beyond what he already has done. Lansdown, for example, has put far more into Bristol City, but even then AR is putting £1m a month in. It's a legacy from the Bates era (we still rent our training ground and AR re-purchased ER as one of his first jobs). The ground costs a lot to maintain given how old it is. Asbestos has been a constant problem, and yet there is absolutely no appetite from the fans to move.

In real terms our prices have come down but they started astronomical. Between 2011 and 2013 I paid £516 as a renewer behind the goal in the Revie Stand behind the goal. In real terms that's about £650 in today's money! Now I pay £445. There's a fine balance between dropping prices in real terms and also paying the bills which only ever go up!

Actually the ground has been improved. It's the West Stand which is the real problem. It will only be resolved when we can knock it down and re-build. There must come a time when it will effectively be uneconomical to maintain. But that won't really happen unless we get promotion. Or alternatively any interest from QSI or other suitors crystalises (but even that is dependent on promotion).

The combination of Ridsale and Bates continues to be an albatross around our neck. We haven't even got rid of the crooks that took over from Bates - GFH - who have a charge over ER. We are starting to stabilise, but the squad we've got would be mid table if it wasn't for Bielsa. Mind you him and his backroom team cost £6m a year...

Maybe the reason Leeds always conk out is that they would have to charge a maximum of thirty pounds to away fans.

I have never known where you get  charged less for a higher grade match.

?

I think we could cope with that with £150m TV money!

vvvvvv But talk about virtue signalling!  vvvvvvv

https://www.premierleague.com/news/1049265

The highest allocation at a PL ground is 3,000. Even if that's £20 3,000 times after VAT it's £50,000 or less per game given that some will be concession tickets. The 'subsidy' is less than £1m over a season. It's pointless comparing the PL with the EFL.

In 2018 Everton's turnover was £189m. Tickets contributed £16.3m 8.6%), TV £130m. For the same period our revenue was £40m, and tickets contributed £11.3m of that (28%). Our TV income was under £6m. That's about £1m more than Brentford, or probably you, as we made less than £1m out of 20+ TV fixture changes last season. £5m goes to each club. Very socialist, but hardly reflective of the apparent revenue that we bring in via TV and advertisers.

I love how you had to edit that?.

Is your dad coming or can't he be arsed?

I'll ask him later but I think he is.

I'm going to come up on a really early train, about 20 of us coming and then all going back the same night as we've got a mates 21st party in town on the night. Will be a long drinking day haha, I'll leave them to sup Strongbow in the Black Prince when we get into Leeds station and come over to meet you if you're out!

£39 is for that entire stand.

So NON member Home supporters in that stand I believe will be paying £39.

Mine incidentally for a Member just above the Cheese Wedge was £27.00.

Presume that you got a £5 membership discount and a further £2 off for a restricted view ticket.
