I love our club and our fans and defend them to the hilt, but to have only sold 2200 at ten quid a ticket for Sunday given our position is shocking isn't it?

We took that to Darlington last day of season on the chance of nicking a play off place in div 3. If I running that Club I would have put the tickets on gemetal sale.

Secondly, I would be looking ahead to Sheff Utd and Norwich and thinking how I could help our support for two long trips.

We have 3 away games in 12 days, 2 of which are on Sky, you can't expect fans to go to them all, loads will go to Villa in the middle but I can see poor turnouts at Sheffield and Norwich so why don't the Club subsisize one or both. Norwich are charging Reading 25 quid so if they subsidised it to ten quid and we took 2000 it would cost them 30k a weeks wages for a couple of players.

Some will disagree but I wish our club would do this type of thing, other Clubs do it


Good ideas but watch out. i recently got laughed at on here for suggesting fans be subsidised to go to the match. :o


Don't get why you would be laughed at mate.

To go to Norwich, Sheffield and Villa would cost the best part of £100 for tickets alone, same at the very least for the travel, add on spending money your looking upwards of £300 in 12 days to watch us on the road, gooder luck to anyone who can afford that.

With the money that's in football what's so funny with a Club or its players subsidising it's SUPPORTERS once in a while?

I'd love to do all 3 but will only be doing one and as the other two are on Sky in going to go to Norwich

It'll cost even more in the prem. Pricing out the working class. This is why i have a love/ hate relationship with modern football.

When this game was initially announced a few family of mine showed an interest in going as a family, 12 in total but we can't get the tickets, I asked and was refused so only 3 of us going in the car now, was 4 one dropped out yday for family reasons.

Sell tickets to ST Holders/members as a priority and then after a certain point just stick them on general sale.


Same. As I'm in Manchester, this is quite a local game for me. So was tempted to take the whole family. I'm not buying memberships for all 4 of us just for one game!

Oh well, just bought my Wolves tickets for us lot in the family stand. If the boy likes it I'll commit to a season ticket with him for next year!!

I agree. It wouln't harm the club or players to subsidise the travel as goodwill gesture. I seem to remember the club did this to Norwich one year. In fact given the money awash at Sky they could give the clubs some money to do this. Helps their product if there is a good away following. By the time we go to Villa, 7 of our last 10 away games will have been on Sky.

However have to disagree with those that say 2200 is a poor following. I think its not bad. They could let people in free and you wont get many more. What is putting some people off its the fact that its on a Sunday morning and on tv. I am going but I will have to be up before 5 am and had to think long and hard about it.

Your right mate, it's not poor, my choice of words was a bit off there when I said 'shocking', dissapointing would have been better, that's just my view though, but it's stI'll not bad all the same
