roman_bairn Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I burst out laughing reading this, cheers. This thread has turned into a bit of a car crash. Ok let's get back on track.I would argue that £20 is a reasonable amount for an adult to pay to watch their team play each week....home or away. If you are a loyal follower you can buy a season ticket...from £250 for an adult at Falkirk.The main problem, I think, for many fans with families is the cost of bringing the kids along too. However as they are potential lifeblood of our clubs future, we should be keeping those charges to an absolute minimum.My view is that whatever clubs charge, fans are always going to moan anyway.I have seen a lot of Man City games over the last few seasons as I work in the area during the week. But £55 to watch them play is still outrageous as the overall entertainment experience is genuinely not that much better. Interestingly, they only charge £30 or less for many of the CL games. Probably because they have drained the supporters of all their cash just buying a season ticket.We can moan about £20 but it's all relative.

forfarton Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Why would paying through the nose to subsidise free entry to children at Grangemouth protect my club's future? Oh that's right, it doesn't. There is no evidence whatsoever to show that charging absolutely nothing to let children watch a football match makes them more likely to either i) attend matches or ii) retain their support for a particular team in adulthood as opposed to charging £3, or £5. No other line of business provides free entry to kids on the premise that doing so will magically gain their custom in the future - they charge a concession rate for entry; cinemas for example aren't folding because the next generation had to pay (be paid for) in order to watch films and so don't bother going there as adults. It's a completely nonsensical argument. Totally agree. Can understand pre-school children getting in free, but once they're old enough to actually watch the match a concession rate is perfectly reasonable.

Gaz FFC Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Cannae really be fucked arguing wi VT because it's like arguing wi a drunk woman but I know many Rangers fans who have ditched Rangers and now come to Falkirk wi the kids. 2 reasons for this is they don't want their kids hearing all the shite and it costs f**k all to get the kids into Falkirk. Also in recent times its been commented on about the increase in Falkirk crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk ( or apparently Grangemouth FC[emoji16]) crowds have gone up while what can we say about attendances at most other clubs in our division....e.g. Morton?

It's maybe fair to say Falkirk and Rangers fans share a closer bond than Airdrie and Rangers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cut our ties when we dared to call them sevco on our PA system I can't help notice the parallels wi Dunfermline and Rangers attitude to bill paying though.

Skyline Drifter Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 10 hours ago, Marr1 said: I think the argument to be made against Dumbarton's pricing should be the fact you're paying £20 to watch a part-time team - which is a joke, added to the fact that they play in a ground that is more suited to non-league football. I know they're planning a new ground. What? What on earth relevance is the amount of time the team train got to do with the standards and entertainment on offer. Most bizarre argument ever.
