Parma Attendance

[Clampy]

Whilst i think they could have made the prices a little cheaper (especially for ST holders), i wouldn't say friendlies are fleecing the fans at all. I chose not to go because i'd paid for my Stoke and Liverpool ticket, so therefore i haven't been fleeced of anything.

If you keep breaking these ironymeters we'll have to start charging you for them.

They should have just made it a fiver in and be done with it. They'd have probably got a far bigger attendance then.

That's rich coming from you.

Lay off the snide remarks and maybe you'd get into fewer arguments on here.

Let's be totally honest, you're talking about £5 rather than £10.

It is such a small difference, to an already low price, I don't really see how one is fleecing (which is a pretty strong term) and the other is fair?

What else can you buy for 10 quid these days?

You could get three pints in a city centre bar for a tenner. Maybe.

[pauliewalnuts]

To be fair, if it is Thurs - Tues in one of every three weeks, you could also get a "Two Dine for £10" deal from Marks and Spencer.

Main, side, dessert and a bottle of wine for a tenner. Bargaintastic.

[Legion]

Two bottles of wine from Sainsbury's.

I rest my case.

£10 for a friendly isn't cheap, paulie. I think because we're so over charges for PL matches we're then fooled into thinking a tenner is actually reasonable. It would certainly be cheap for a league or cup game, but a friendly? No, not in my opinion. It would have been decent of the club of ST holders were given free tickets as well, perhaps as a thank you for what we've had to put up with over the last few years. It would have been good PR.

I'll remember that next time you jump in a thread with a snide and sarcastic comment designed to start an argument.

Not so much that a tenner is cheap (what is in football these days?) just that if you reckon a fiver would have been fair, ten quid is not that much of a difference.

I agree, though, it'd be nice to have put something on to thank supporters. Although, then again, having seen the Parma match, maybe not.

I'll bear that in mind.
