    I refuse to be ripped off so won't be paying £36. I'm also sick of seeing us dominate games against them only to be beaten by a last minute goal or refereeing howler so another reason I won't be going.

    The only games I've missed at Hillsborough since Glavin's winner in 1984, are the Zenith Data game (or whatever it was), and the game we won 1-0. JCR.

    I am now at the point, having continually said, "never again", where I just have to be there when we next win. It worked (eventually) with Oldham.

    Surely we're due one?? PLEASE!

    Some Wendy fan moaning on Football Heaven about us moaning at the cost when it's going to probably be two quid more for them when they come to us. Bit of a difference though when one set of away fans is Christmas month when cash is tight, weather is cold, night match, decaying stand that needs replacing and doesn't feel safe and the possibility of restricted viewing.

    Whilst the return fixture they get put in a very good stand, April weather and nicely positioned on a saturday afternoon.

    How do Wednesday fans know the price at Oakwell when our tickets aren't announced until 3-4 weeks ahead of the game? Have they got massive powers or something?

    I'm certain you missed the 2-1 defeat there in 2004 for a VERY important reason!:D

    Would probably have gone but buying a new house and had to knock all away games on the head for rest of this season. Fed up of people asking me for cash at moment :)

    I live 70 miles away and play badminton on tuesday nights. The last tuesday game I went to was Ipswich in 2008 to get ticket stubs for Wembley.

    Oh and £36 is ridiculous it was only £20 for the Birmingham game. It's time the League/FA had some sort of pricing structure for away fans.

    Aye I've heard them. It makes you sick. They're seemingly of the opinion that we should shut up and pay it because we'll charge them the same when they come to our ground.

    They're missing the point completely all because of this idiotic point scoring thing that football fans seem to be obsessed with these days.

    The fact is that football tickets in general are far too expensive and the only way to make a stand is to not pay them.

    On top of travel expenses and food and drink etc, I physically can't afford to go to away games, and save up for the 6 months leading up to the renewal for a season ticket to be able to afford that.

    After previously stating I'd never set foot in the stands of Hillsborough again, I've decided to go as I cannot not go living a five minute walk from the ground. I couldn't bear catching the tram home with reds fans and not going. £36 is ridiculous though.

    I'm going, but only because it's a bit of a birthday treat for my lad. Otherwise it would have been a NO!!! £36 quid for a football match that's not at Wembley ... at some point the whole thing will collapse in on itself, and I for one will rejoice.

    Also, their chairman given the option of a reciprocal price reduction to benefit both sets of fans in both games which he apparently laughed off
