TRL Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 If you were a REAL fan, you'd be happy to pay through the nose to eat sh1te and drink p1ss, or so I'm repeatedly told Aye. Spot on. Real fans bend over and take it up the poop shoot. The rest of us are slightly less raw, but not real fans...... apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 If you were a REAL fan, you'd be happy to pay through the nose to eat sh1te and drink p1ss, or so I'm repeatedly told I can't remember the last time I spent any money within AG that went into Lindleys pocket. I don't either buy food or drink because its crap with limited choice and overpriced. Its a matter of principle. If I want something to eat then its a Clarke's pie/pastie and if I fancy a pint then its the Coopers or the BS3. If I could get a pint of Thatchers Gold for £3.30 then I would spent money but I refuse to pay £3.60 for a 500ml can of Natch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those who back the club willy nilly whether they are right or wrong. Then have the audacity to state they are better fans because of it. I don't hold you as one of those. You back the club, fair enough. But you don't attempt to say you are a better fan because you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 An encouraging read really, all fans are different aye, but what unites us is love of City, we should never forget that COYR!

I went looking for past statements from Marina. Couldn't find any and looks like I jumped to conclusions. It seems the numpties that run our website decided to remove historic posts.

SWRed Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Dave, I don't know if you will still be looking back on this post but, with the liklihood of lower attendances next season, are there any plans to handing out more free tickets for school kids for games likely to not have great turn out, such as JPT and games against the smaller teams?

BristolCity? Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I agree about getting the price right. As a matter of interest, what would you consider a fair price per match for a season ticket in the EE? Well considering Wigan and Man city's cheapest season ticket this season was £255 and £275 respectively i would suggest £250/£260 for the EE would be fair. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19984968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a stand with piss poor view, with no backs to the seats. If you could equate the cost to top tickets to a london show to lowest tickets in a bristol show. Do you think the disparity would be 15 quid? Or a whole lot more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?!

Rent (cheap, but you get what you pay for) alcohol Tobacco Football Food Extra curricular shit Birthdays/ Christmas and that Occasional transport Occasional clothes Ummm..... If you're young and childless with limited responsibility - you're likely to have fewer compulsory out-goings hence more disposable income. Young. Free. Single = more disposable income.

Young. Free. Single = more disposable income. Id like to think I was still young, I'm definitely free, single and childless. Other than the child related bits, I still have to pay for everything Barrs Court mentioned. On a single income. I've budgeted since last year for the cost of my season ticket, so can afford it.

Guest Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 The cost of actually getting to a game can easily double the cost of entry. Yes I know the club cant do much about that but exiles should be given thought when prices are decided. Extra low-ness please for those over 60 and away from AG and for those with over 40yrs of hurt a medal would go down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
