    I'd rather not pay £25 but I think the pricing is fair enough

    Its not like its £30 or £35. Its £5 more than the league entry price and a game that a lot of fans will want to attend. Think the club can't be blamed for wanting to get a bit extra in the coffers to support Robins plans.

    Its only the equivalent 1 and 2/3 of a pint of lager...

    Fair do's

    If that's what they want, no-one is forcing them to go, especially as it's on Sky anyway.

    Strange though that they don't want to go to watch Man U reserves. Personally I go to watch Barnsley, not the opposition, and the weaker the opposition the better as I've more chance of seeing a victory for us.

    Obviously not everyone thinks like me though, which if course is fine.

    If they'd have kept the prices same as for a league match

    All the whinging pillocks would have been moaning about missing an opportunity to make more money from it.

    Do you reckon they'd have gone if it was at Old Trafford?

    With the coach and £40 odd to get in? Just out of interest?

    I know money is tough at the moment for a lot of people, it is for me, but for a match like Man Utd, no matter what squad they bring, I'd economise on something else if the extra £5 was a barrier to me going.

    Or is it a principal thing?

    Don't worry about it. No one is putting a gun to their head. If people don't want to go - their loss.

    RE: I know lads that travel all over the country week in and week out

    So they pay over &pound;50(ticket &amp; travel, not to mention ale) to go to Championship clubs, but because it's Manure &quot;reserves&quot; they don't wanna go? The Manure &quot;reserves&quot; that would walk into most premiership clubs</p>

    It's all a load of ****** for those who NEED to moan about summat

    Agreed

    I have trouble sometimes understanding why fans have no problem with putting money into away clubs, coach firms, train operators, pubs, chip shops, burger vans, pie stalls etc etc etc at away matches, but quibble about putting far less money into our own club. Something is not adding up for me here.

    Exactly James</p>

    Those who don't wanna go then don't, and don't moan about it</p>

    &pound;25 is the agreed price between BFC and MUFC. How do you know that MUFC did not want to charge more?</p>

    It get's pathetic sometimes. Whinge whinge fecking whinge

    RE: Agreed

    Exactly my point to one of my mates on Tuesday night. Said that i didn't see him down t'Well v Burnley as he dint go. His reply was &quot;Looked for you at QPR but didn't see you&quot;. So he dint wanna pay &pound;15 for a home game but spent probably 5 times more on Saturday</p>

    Back to the arguement me and Scott had last week
