    Just a thought on the ticket pricing debate.

    I should point out that there's no prize for this one.

    I imagine it would be full to begin with but there would be loads moaning about them not getting a good return on the time they invested into the club. Once the novelty had worn off crowds would dwindle (unless we were in the premier league).

    Sorry to been a pest but probley same, people would then moan it's too cold(would want free hot drink)
    Fuel too expensive
    Bus times are not good or expensive or too long to sit on.

    Plus do we get a free program (if not the program's too expensive)

    Cheers

    Initially probably a full house, but I don't actually think we'd get very many more than we do now in the long run when the novelty where off, particular tuesday night matches on a freezing cold December.
