Never to the dark side Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 not sure if this is correct info,but the C and G stand I think that the shed type structure for home fans It seems its been close to reduce costs for the freindly fixtures only, to reduce costs Maybe cheltenham have got wind of the boycot by Bristol City followers or Maybe the letter of mine in the Gloucester Echo news paper which hopefully should/could/might be in Gloucester echo some time this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 typical, our Cheltenham friend here invited us to go in the C&G stand as they charge £10 and we wouldn't recieve any aggro. So its not a cost cutting exercise its a cash generating exercise. If you havent already decided not to go I would advise people to stay away from this fixture as £15 for a friendly is to much.

Its also disgusting considering how many players we have loaned them/given them in the past to help them avoid relegation to the basement. You'd think the least they could do is return the favour with standard £10 max entry for a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 10 quid is a bit steep as well. You could see King Fu Panda for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Of The Dolman Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 But what have the players done to deserve running out and seeing the away end near empty. With it being the last away friendly it will near enough be the starting 11 for Blackpool, yes it is over priced but a boycott in my opinion is not the way to go about it.

Midge Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 £15 for a friendly though is too much especially as the first game is away at one of the longest treks we have and most people will spend there money on that instead imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy-shuffle-carl-shutt Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 £15 for a friendly though is too much especially as the first game is away at one of the longest treks we have and most people will spend there money on that instead imo The price may have something to do with the fact that some team which shall remain namless who were due to ground share giving them some much needed extra funds pulled out at short notice. So i can understand them chasing the dollar now and their price for the friendly reflects this IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other clubs who aren't having anyone ground share have not put there prices as high as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 10 quid is a bit steep as well. You could see King Fu Panda for less. And how much do you think it will be to get in the Gate for our home friendly in a couple of weeks? Will definitely be at least a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbacktherobin Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 If they only budgeted for rovers coming then they are a bit stupid, should always have a back up plan. Putting the prices up to £15 will not help them at all, i do not know a single person who is going purely over the fact that £15 is too much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
