You also have absolutely no danger of being shouted at wandering into the juniors with a carryout. 22 quid for three stands and no strikers.

I do remember taking advantage of the student gate for quite some time. My theory was that putting on a high pitched voice and saying "one student please sir" would get me in. To be fair it did until I was about 30! At 22 quid I would have to seriously pick and choose my games and just go occasionally. It's reached the point now where I would vote with my feet and simply refuse to attend any more. It's not so much the actual cost as the lack of value for money. I'd far rather pay 22 quid to go and have a round of golf and do something active than pay that money to passively watch others take part in a crap game of hoofball.

Think we have approached a £3 difference to watch wee Paddy and Super Sam to Haaland and Gavi. It does seem to be the price teams in the league are charging though but that makes it no less ridiculous. Remember last year, Mathie said they had benchmarked other teams and were putting the prices up to meet them. No justification other than making money. 13 minutes ago, Young Eddie said: I do remember taking advantage of the student gate for quite some time. Clydebanks Kilbowie stadium turnstiles were a brick wall with a brick removed at face height and a brick removed to hand money over meaning you could go in to the concessions gate, stand to the side of the hole and hand money over. There was always a massive queue at the concessions and zero paying adults. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it incredibly strange that our child prices end when you turn 13. It’s not something I had any idea about until tonight. Incredibly poor and something that should be urgently looked at IMO. A quick look shows Dunfermline are as bad as us but Morton, Partick and Inverness charge £5 and £6 for those under 16 while QP charge £8 and Raith £8 or £10 while under 12’s go free. Clearly an area we are lagging behind in. Most sides charge £22 for an adult ticket so we can’t really complain, but there is a lack of thought into the pricing for the younger age groups - in particular that 13 - 18 range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should we be cheaper to watch than any other team in the league , yes £22 is steep but not any dearer than all the rest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase in supply chain costs. Shortfall in the budget, there wouldn't be a feeling that you are being fleeced. If you were with vodafone and they said, due to O2 and EE putting tariffs up £2 a month, we are doing the same, you'd think you were getting ripped off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s obvious why the price went up , the same reason most teams have increased prices , not really bothered that teams would need to explain the increase , might be wrong but don’t know why people would think they are being fleeced if they read or hear all the noise going around about inflation and energy costs , surely they can’t think that these costs are not effecting their club Edited June 16, 2023 by Finlay21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t fathom the thinking behind that one whatsoever! One of those things where it’s so poor that you expect someone with sense to get the idea to f**k as soon as someone raises it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
