OPEN BORDERS   10 #1 Posted September 1, 2017 No doubt theres only 2,400 allocated to United, on Police advice / safety reasons. Absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. The Leppings Lane end should be full for such an occasion. Is there something wrong with the lower tier ? Surely the aim should be to get as near a full house as possible.  As for the pricing £42, for a match live on SKY. SWFC should be ashamed of themselves.

Guest   #3 Posted September 1, 2017 Maybe its a two-edged sword: for those daft enough to stump up then thanks for your dosh for those watching it on Sky - you won't be causing us any grief in S6  Either scenario - win win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
staninoodle   174 #4 Posted September 1, 2017 English football just continues to hurtle backwards,its a joke. Noboddy should pay more than 20 quid to enter a top flight english football match,but supporters are like slaves on drugs and continue to suffer. Untill the fans revolt,the staus quo will prevail,english footballs needed a creative overhaul for too long and the game needs to be taken away from the ALL too powerfull premier league. The national side are a laughing stock,when it could quite easily be a force. Coaching in england has barely changed in 40 years.and those that run it are dinasours.

SWFC should be ashamed of themselves.  Nothing wrong with giving united just the upper or lower tier of the west stand, which I hope they do as we should be filling it with home fans as much as we can. Saying that this is the first derby game where the prices have been so high. Normally it would be a sell out on the home end but being on sky aswell it will be interesting to see the numbers. I refuse to pay 42 quid even for this game so I will be in the pub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

redbig   10 #10 Posted September 2, 2017 Complete rip off. £45 on the North. Sky TV it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hotmale 1954   201 #11 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) It's a game I am going to, but is, at the moment, the first of only two games I've planned to go to this season. The 2nd game is at home to L***s. £45 is obscene. To be fair, to me, anything above £20 is bordering on obscene, and to those who say that football is a business, I say no it's not. The 'business' is grossly rich Owners, Agents and Footballers playing 'Who wants To Be A Trillion, Skillion, Zillionaire' between them, with Sky playing the role of the banker. At the moment, I wouldn't pay £5 to watch some 'football' on offer. I am though, willing to pay for certain games.

redbig   10 #12 Posted September 3, 2017 Season ticket holders on kop get in for around £21 a game, so an increase of £20 for those not lucky enough to have a season ticket. Some way to treat fans that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
