For reasons he's stated, if we get out of our League Cup group, Jordan Allan leaves and also I might be wrong but I thought JS said we were budgeting for 3,200/3,300 season tickets, last count we were nearing 4,000. Appreciate we had to secure existing players/loan players but thats still a helluva uplift on the finances budgeted for. Purely from a money perspective, if we get out the group stage, an away tie at either Rangers. Celtic, Hibs, Hearts or Aberdeen would further increase our loan / transfer kitty. Not sure if the way the Premier Cup is drawn allows for this, but we could say, sod it, and get behind an early season cup run to Hampden. We gain either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely didn't think it would be this big an issue but seems they are organising a full boycott of the stalls. Definitely feel for those who have been priced out of a tradition but with cost of living the fact prices haven't risen previously is surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never buy anything from them (for quality reasons rather than cost) but a boycott sounds a good idea to me. As said by others earlier in the thread it's supply and demand in action. It looks like profiteering to me rather than a natural increase so I hope the stalls are empty until there's a rebalance . Just thinking back to Brockville and wondering idly why there weren't multiple deaths through poisoning given the dubious food hygiene around the pies which I used to scarf every game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but when you compare it to the cinema or a theme park it’s about the same or less. I’ve noticed “event” prices for food and drink in general have shot right up in the last 18 months. The other thing people will notice this season is the increase in match day ticket costs at away grounds. We will be pretty cheap in comparison although I’d wager it will increase next season in line with them.

FalkirkBairn2021 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I do find it amusing sometimes when you see on Twitter and forums 'It costs me £600 a game to see [insert team here]' Facking ridiculous modern football costs.

Surely the club will have set the costs in line with what we’re getting charged, would be pissed of if the likes of visiting Ayr and Partick is more expensive than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can understand the frustration, even if I haven't/wouldn't react in the same way. It is a significant jump in prices, and unlike other areas of club, it's probably the one time that fans weren't informed of a change prior to rocking up at the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look online and we are indeed the cheapest in the league currently for walk up tickets: Ayr Utd are yet to publish.

Hard one for the club to balance as there will be fans out there who I know appreciate the fact our season tickets and gate prices are relatively cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 106 fans paying £21 is more than 100 fans paying £22. Sometimes you get more punters at a lower price 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we charged £23 to get in and then it costs £5 for a pie and Bovril sounds about right. Or maybe it is just me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
