    As you are aware, both clubs have agreed £20 tickets for the two matches this season.

    Nationally, Twenty's Plenty is being advertised tomorrow / day of action and the more publicity the better.

    Donny have arranged a photoshoot outside their social club around 2.20 / 2.30 tomorrow and would like some Barnsley fans to join them.

    Please help them out if you can, give them a bit of banter, all in a good cause.

    I think you might struggle to get people involved. It's good that price has been reduced but a photocall for a three quid saving on normal price? Bit full on is that. Could understand if it was a tenner to get in or even fifteen.

    Thought the photocell was to represent the principle of 20 quid is plenty, not the actual saving of one game (which by the way it isn't)

    Personally I think it's disgusting that Donny willingly charge more than £20 regularly thus proving that they actually think 20 isn't enough and yet are trying to get publicity and be seen as a club supporting the campaign in the back of a ONE match reduction to meet the campaigns prices.

    They can **** off for me

    I'm no Donny fan but how are they any different to anyone else?

    Our ticket prices for match days are over £20 normally too - as are all of this division I think - and if we were at home this weekend (when the campaign has its launch/five minutes of fame) do you think our Ben wouldn't have the photographers here?

    Bit short sighted that - it's nothing to do with Donny or Barnsley or any club, it's about fans not being ripped off for watching a game. Personally I think it's disgusting that Barnsley charge up to £27 a match for division three football. (The most Donny charge is £24 btw).

    Of course it's to do with Donny. It is them who advertised the reduction in price with an attention grabbing '20 is plenty' on their website. I just think it is wrong to set your pricing structure as one thing and yet try to take the plaudits when you reduce your price for one game and act like you support that price when you clearly don't as a general rule. I'd disagree with Barnsley using the same method to advertise the game too but as far as I'm aware they haven't.

    Its like me kicking an homeless man every day as I walk past and then one day when look north is in Barnsley doing a story on the homeless chucking 20p at the homeless guy and telling harry gration that I support the homeless

    Not your "Be Sound, Charge Us A Pound" banner or "If You Want Many, Let Us In For A Penny" one?

    I could understand a photocall if both clubs had agreed for the rest of the season for any game to charge only twenty quid, thus showing really good support to the campaign. But it's OTT for what it actually is. If both clubs genuinely believe in the Twenty Is Plenty campaign then surely it should be that price all the time.
