I also thought that they couldn't charge away fans more than home fans for an equivalent section of the ground?
So are their fans behind the opposite goal paying £36?
And how much did we charge their fans when they came here earlier in the season?
These Yorkshire clubs are an absolute f*cking disgrace when it comes to charging away fans. Why doesn't the League do something about it?

Allan, average away support to Sheffield Wednesday this season even at their prices is over 2,000 fans.

In fairness though Annis, that figure is massively inflated by the fact they have 7 home games this season where the away team is less than an hour away and a further 7 that are less than 2 hours so the average away attendance at Hillsborough is bound to be high.

Ok fair enough, but even many clubs 200 miles away take a 1,000 plus fans to Wednesday.
In the Prem, we were taking 2,000 and 3,000 fans away at £50 a ticket, no complaints then.
I totally agree Wednesday are over priced, I have been there 14 times and I have seen us take from 250 fans to 2,500 fans over the yesrs.
If its distance. Even in lower divisions and Non leagues clubs take 400-1,000 Away fans hundreds of miles away.
The truth is we have lost many of our hard core fan base.

yes bet it is but as you know thats inflated by closeness of clubs to them like leeds huddsfield ect! bet if you take all the teams who have been to wed and see how many of their fans they took to us compared to going to wed you will see a massive difference in numbers? what does that tell you????

No I agree, I was just pointing it out though how close some teams are to them
IMO we have an 'eventist' fan base, I have only been to Hillsborough twice, the year we lost on the final day when I think 3,500 went and the year we went up to the Premiership when from memory I think we took around 1,000.
People will always find an excuse that suits them, some will be genuine mind, the cost one doesn't wash with me though for the reasons you point out yourself and that is why I say that a large % of our away fans, and fans in general are 'eventists', to be honest, I suppose I am one of them myself to a certain degree, there is absolutely nothing on this game so the likelihood of me spending the money that it would cost is highly unlikely whereas if there was something on the game I would more than likely go so if I said I am not going because of the cost of the ticket I would be lying.
There honesty for you
