t_b Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Also because we keep taking pyro and smoke into grounds so their safety teams will probably say "few extra quid on the turnstile? no thanks mate" maybe?
elhombrecito Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Because Middlesbrough are playing against Aston Villa and we're playing a completely different team in a completely different stadium?

In fact you denied me a certain goal last Friday by heading the ball as it was about to sweetly meet my head at a corner.
cider head Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 No Pyro smoke preached to football fans? Then stop the photo shop smoke rugby score pictures. Mixed smoke signals given

And pyro and smoke is a red herring because those supporters who have bought tickets could be the pyromaniacs. And before somebody suggests it is all to do with staffing the stewards .... it isn't exactly the case that thousands of fans would walk up ticket-less. The football model is mad!! In Division 1 and 2, matches are played in virtually empty grounds looking at the FL Show. Given supply hugely exceeds demand, the solution is to cut prices ... it is a no brainer. Only one club has done this, Bradford City, with the result that the Bantams have close on 18,000 season ticket holders. Bristol Rugby could learn from this given their extortionate prices in a league where most clubs charge £15. Post of the month
