cost cutting

Today saw yet another effort by FMA to look after the pennies when turnstiles were left un-manned. At the game v plymouth the L7 corner section saw its usual four turnstiles reduced to three, with another having a bit of A4 piece of paper put above it stating that it was a cash turnstile charging £15* per adult and a tenner/fiver for kids (hands up, I can't remember which one for kids). Others said it was the same where they were and my match going mates said the same for their areas. The fact that the game kicked off with thousands outside might not give FMA a sleepless night but is further endorsement that this regime couldn't truly give a flying fuck about this club or its support. The fact that we had nearly 43 thousand is a testimony to the support this club has and in no way is a barometer of the job this cretin and his poorly chosen accolytes have done.

 

* The price of a ticket for a season ticket holder in this section is £390 which is £16.95 per game, (which is reasonable even for the 'cheap end'). £15 is showing those that did stump up, what was the point? What price loyalty?

Yeah, where i was there were massive queues everywhere and we were going very slowly until they finally opened up 26 which had been closed. And even then it took till about 3:03 before the police started telling people to use the 2 turnstiles nearby (23 and 24 i think) that were prctically empty.

I was later than normal getting to the ground but still got there before kick off, no hassle I thought only to turn the East Stand / Leazes corner to see a line snaking away into the distance.

 

As I stepped through the turnstile a roar erupted as we scored

 

 

Like you say though Howman, whats the use in buying a ST (on a three year basis as I did) only to find that the bloke next to you got up this morning, looked out the window and thought "fuck it, its a nice day I may go to the game" and then paid less than you did.

I was quite lucky, saw us win the corner as i was climbing the stand and saw the goal from my seat, but there must have been a load of people who missed the first goal

I paid £30 for ticket in the East Stand v Leicester. Has the pricing been restructured ?
