£30 for Wolves away on a Tuesday night

I know this has been done to death but something has to be done... Not that ranting on here will do anything mind..but still..

I was looking forward to that fixture but having already been to Ipswich and Huddersfield away it is becoming completely unaffordable to follow home and away.

At £20-£24 I'd have happily gone.

If you call it £50 as a minimum spent per away league game that's £1,150 gone over the season and in reality it's much more than that! In most cases this season £50 will be spent before even buying a pint. The extra £5-£10 we're paying for tickets this year really does add up.

It would take something like a full boycott from away fans on a certain day to make the football league take note.

Maybe someone with the right contacts can look at getting some ideas together.

Preferably on a night where we play someone like QPR away... I propose a full boycott of football league away travel on Tuesday 7th March!?

I'm boycotting all games at 30 quid and above. Enough is enough. On Saturday I went in with the Huddersfield fans as it was the only way I could see the game and keep within the 30 quid limit.

It's beyond a joke and you're right it's only by some sort of coordinated action that anything would happen. Can't see it taking off though if I were trying to sort it I would go for a more high profile game like Wednesday away.

 

But I was thinking a full league boycott. Preferably on an evening when less may go anyway.

I myself know I just couldn't boycott the lads away at Wednesday both for myself and them.



I think that would be a realistic day of fixtures if correctly coordinated. A lot of long distance travel their on a Tuesday night when prices will be sky high.

QPR is a shithole and we always lose so unless I'm in London with work I'm not going so count me in. Not sure a low profile away game would have a great impact. Also to have an impact it would need to be coordinated with fans of other clubs.

 

My limit is £25. Its the same as it has been for a couple of years and I see no reason to change it. I won't be going to Wednesday.

I would love a properly organised boycott and would definitely support it, even if it fell on a match I would otherwise have attended.

 

Exactly that's what I mean. It would take someone with a strong social media following to co ordinate it around all Championship fans.

It wouldn't matter that our game is low profile because it would take a full effort from all travelling fans anyway.

You wouldn't here a thing about it if just BFC boycotting a game.

Barnsley FC themselves should make a stand and refuse any tickets for Wednesday and Leeds away.

 

I agree.

That might have more of an effect if we weren't just as bad.

What we should have done is set a £20 maximum pay on the gate price, for both home and away fans. Once the club have done that they can get around to moaning about what other clubs charge.

Sadly I will be going to Wolves if I can get a ticket because it's one of only two games this season I can make it to unless i can find a way of getting up to Oakwell and back on a Tuesday evening. The other one is Villa,and I dread to think how much they're going to charge.

 

Exactly.

 

That is why the best way to do it is a full football league boycott. Against all clubs including our own.

Villa charged Rotherham and Huddersfield fans £25

 

Yep, I'd agree with that. As you say - it's just a case of finding somebody with the necessary reach to organise it.

 

Maybe,but you're forgetting that by February our game with them could have a bearing on which of us wins the title, so I'd expect it to be much higher.

 

Ha, ha. I hope we are in that position.

 

£25 is my limit too, which means I won't be going to any games above category C, and I won't be going to Cat C games if I can't buy an advance ticket. Unless a mate lends me a season ticket when he/she's not going, hint hint............

 

Yep, £25 my limit too, which means I have to pick and choose when I return carefully or I'll end up not seeing a game!

 

If you really want to make a difference...cancel your Sky and/or BT subscriptions explaining why when you do so.
