    You can only act for yourself I guess without any lead from our FSF rep. I haven’t been to any away game where it costs more than 30 quid for 2 years. I feel a bit better for it.

    I completely agree JC but we all know that it will never happen with football fans. That's why clubs know they can carry on taking the pi55 with impunity.

    I think the tide is turning.

    It has for me any road

    I just refuse to pay so much for a game of football now

    Especially to Sheffield fcking Wednesday !


    I am glad others seem to be taking the same view.



    I wonder if a flexible pricing mechanism would work Depending on league position

    Ie if team is in the top 6 - 40 quid, top 10 - 35, bottom 6 - 25 quid etc

    Wednesday fans were happy enough being raped each game when they were flying , now they’re all moaning!

    I can’t justify £36 plus trains etc for a game - it’s ridiculous!
    Oakwell is expensive now too. Genuinely being priced out of going and it’s a shame

    We sold 200 tickets between the updates on 17 and 23 October and that included a home match day. We won't sell our initial allocation, never mind another 1,000. The more we send back the better.

    Tbf, I remember Beth on the box office Twitter thing saying they sell almost as many in the final few days of sales than they do in the couple of weeks before hand. It'll be a good following for the price, but nothing will be done about prices until people just say no.
