Fellow yellows, I know you won't all be happy with what I have to say here BUT...

Lets hope the gaffa reduce the ticket price just for the last few games of the season. With the right advertising in the Herald Express and Palm FM it will be a massive success I guarantee.

I for one refuse to pay £16 +hotdog etc etc. I know at least 20 other people who would go EVERY WEEK if it was less than a tenner.

I understand that everything is expensive now, so they have to charge that much, but if you charge £10 and get an extra 1000 or so fans in there - then it's win-win-win !

£16.00 x average crowd of, say, 2500 = £40,000

£10.00 x average crowd of, say, 3500 = £35,000

NEXT....

said 1000+

also, i was only talking about reducing the Pop Stand


-- Suck that

Although a large percentage are season ticket holders but I take your point, Scott.

The last few games should see a rise in crowds anyway but I still think £16 represents good value for money compared to many other clubs in our division.

fifa, you said 1000 or so, not 1000+ and you didn't mention the Pop..........

plus, more people = more food/program/merchandise sales. I could go on.....

Whoops did I? I stand corrected...

still a good idea I reckon. Imagine a capacity crowd

.

i understand your point, but i am biased coz I can't pay that much. Just can't pay 10% of a weeks wages to see them, not seeing as rent is over half the wages and then tax etc eats the rest.... lovely Torbay

Part-time job to supplement your income and then you're in and helping the club in the process

Would love to but I do need time for other things away from footie and work. Nice idea though.


Are you actually based in Southampton, but supporting gulls? If so, do you come down a lot or are you listening on Gulls World or whatever?

You say "about £10"

You do realise the club are doing a Membership which is £10 a Month then you only have to pay £10 to get in for the League games...

Less time playing fifa and you'd be much better off.

Yes I do live in Southampton and I get to a lot of games, home and away, but then I don't play computer games

Alex, we average 2 home games a month, so even allowing for the membership scheme it still works out at £15 a match.

That's not bad actually. That would take the ticket price to £12.50 assuming you went to all 4 games in April. I will do that if I have enough dosh.

Is it a yearly contract membership or can I do 1 month?

That's a bit below the belt, I was only making conversation. I don't spend much time at all playing xbox and I work 40hr weeks.

As a teenager I went to every single home game. Back in the Kevin Hodges days where we nearly got promoted. It was me with that air-horn, everyone in the crowd loved it and so did I. I will never get back to that sort of level of support but I still enjoy it.


Anyways peace out, try and stay sound with those who are sound with you!

Wouldn't take SG's comments too seriously, I've not been on here long but just from looking you can tell that SG is a bit tounge in cheek sometimes, I'm sure he wasn't meaning to cause any offense

How old are you? Because the club do a under 19 membership too right? Assuming you are to old for that though.
