PaddockLad 17644 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wouldn't smaller clubs struggle with that? Can Burnley do without the ticket revenue? 3k x £40=£12000. Not every home game mind. It's chicken feed compared with TV money though. Atmosphere good last night, bit disappointed with them, although they were better than most. Improve atmosphere? Go back to two live games on TV per season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4857 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wouldn't smaller clubs struggle with that? Can Burnley do without the ticket revenue? Not entirely but we're not talking about making tickets free, just cheaper. Ticket prices are artificially high and represent no value, last night was £40 a ticket, it was a shit game, I'd have felt robbed walking away from the ground afterwards.

ewerk 31195 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Lower tickets prices should mean increased attendances. If safe standing is introduced then clubs could increase their ground capacities at minimal cost. However, I do think that a lot of it is down to the mentality of the modern day supports with many preferring to spectate rather than support the team vocally. Changing that is much harder. Cheerleaders, fireworks and music after goals perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City have season tickets on sale for £300 and yet regularly have a shit atmosphere. The cheapest ST at SJP is £383, is £20 per match really that expensive?

David Kelly 1260 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The prices are out of hand now but as long as footballers are getting paid such ridiculous wages that's not going to change.

McFaul 35 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Atmospheres are rubbish these days, How would you fix that, taking into account the needs for safety, the demands of advertisers and the changing face of Football? Level 7 was mint I loved sitting up there. Rough faced, loud, drunken passionate toon fans. I was quiet compared to most. Doing a proper corner like that again up there would help a lot, but most of the 3500 kids up there with me felt the same about Ashley as I do, they vocally expressed it and if we're honest that is why the fat cunt shut it down.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Turn off the speakers. It's like a Radio 1 big weekend before the game these days. Can't hear the person next to you speak, let alone the 3 lads trying to start a song 40 rows back. Everyone sits on their arse playing with their phone...and that barely changes after kick off. In the family enclosure I swear I'm the only one who stands for the players and goes "whey!!" after every players name is announced*. It embarrasses my nephew. Keep telling him he should be embarrassed by everyone else and join in with me. *The only announcement there should be pre-game... and not with any embilishments like "let's hear it for Sammy Ameobi!! MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!" bollocks that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, since Robson went that's been the best couple of years for going to games at SJP for me...and it was relegation and championship football.

Surely you don't need to be an accountant to see the link there? Clubs get huge sums from TV, Sponsor and marketing deals. I don't think match day revenue is as important as those. Matchday revenue for the year is about, what, £30m? and the TV deal alone is worth £60m isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
