    I think many agree that one of the reasons for our high admission prices is to enable us to charge the away fans more and fleece more money from the well supported clubs.

    But i think its having a negative effect on the away support too. I know quite a lot of Hudders fans due to my Bro in law being a town fan and i have been out with them a lot of times. None of these are going today due to our prices (about 15 of them regularly go away) and they know lots more with the same attitude.

    is the extra few quid we will make from leeds and wednesday really worth more than the few hundred that would possibly travel to all the other games from the other 21 teams. Not forgetting all the home fans that are staying away

    Yes. So that's what 40 quid or so before you even start on the ale etc.
