A genuine question for our fans

Obviously doesn't apply to season ticket holders, but all opinions are appreciated.

So many of our fans are crying out for Hull City tickets to be £5/10 next weekend, for whatever their reasons. This is a bloody massive match for BFC, 3 points are vital and if other results went our way could help secure our Championship status for another season, isn't that enough incentive to dig deep and pay the £20/23?

I genuinely do not understand what our fans want or expect.

 

Make it a fiver and bring in some bodies. We'd lose some brass but we need atmosphere and support

 

At the end of the day though, BFC is a business, so they don't want to lose any more money, and we'd lose a shitload more if we went down. Attendances don't win matches, as we often remind our lovely neighbours in S6.

 

Will it though. Palace had a family day against barnsley and had more in. There fans said the atmosphere was worse than normal

 

Wouldn't we also have to offer it to the hull fans for £5?

 

We got nearly 10,000 home fans in for the Wolves match earlier this season at £20 / £23 on a Tuesday night so can't see why we can't equal or better that for another massive game on a Saturday at the same price

 

Why don't the club do buy 1 get 1 free or buy 1 get 1 half price, could get bums on seats.

 

I have a season ticket and to be honest I would normally be against this kind of £5 incentive but for the Hull game I am 100% behind it. Let's get as many bodies as possible into Oakwell and see a reasonably full ground instead of seeing row after row of empty seats.

 

I agree, the less committed fans are likely to make the atmos worse not better in my opinion, likely to get on the players quicker if things arent going well. If you're not going to pay 20 quid for last home game with our Championship future in the balance then so be it, fair enough if you can't afford it, but otherwise......

 

Or even FREE with ST voucher I?

So the ST holder could get a mate a FREE matchday ticket. Obtained in advance though so as not cause mayhem on the turnstiles.

Treat it like an open day for next season.

 

I work every saturday so won't be going anyway regardless of the price but as a somewhat lapsed fan (i haven't been to a home game in 2 years) £5 entry would be very enticing in a way that £20 isn't but having said that if we did £5 entry and packed the place that would just bring more idiots to run on the pitch at the end of the game (cause it is tradition or some bo**cks like that), also the larger the crowd the more police and stewards are required and that obviously means more costs so not only would it be a drop in income also a rise in outgoings.

 

We know the type of 'fans'. Get to the play-offs and say they never missed a match, similarly SF of FA cup. You won't change them. If we ever get near Premier again, I'd charge them double the going rate.

 

£20 is a fair price for a Championship game, more so because it is such a massive game.

 

Exactly my thoughts.

 

No one in their right mind would pay£30 to watch a game of football irrespective of the opposition

 

Did you go to Wembley in 2008 or Cardiff in 2006?
