Hope they do give a BCP - every one helps!New Year’s Day 8pm can get fucked like. Another one that many won’t be able to attend. Wonder if they’ll throw a loyalty point at it

You say that, but if we were charged an extra £10 per ticket, then that would pay a couple of players wages each season. So although I agree that £8.5m per season is nowt to the club in the grand scheme of things, it still goes a long way towards balancing the books for PSR, and so clubs are incentivised to squeeze us. My contention is that they shouldn’t be. If clubs want to increase matchday revenue then they do it by increasing the capacity of their stadia so that they can sell more tickets, and not through increasing their prices.
I know I’ve gone a bit ‘fight the power
’ here, but I do think something has to change as a lot of people won’t be able to afford to go before too long.

You should never get a point for a league home game. Ridiculous

if you need a loyalty point to encourage you to go to a premier league home game vs Manchester City then there’s something sadly wrong

Or having to have a drink as well. Mad.

The bigger question is - why the transport difficulties? The rest of Britain manages to run services on NYD.

Some of us will have no choice but to miss it. No thanks to the country's public transport systems.

it’s New Year’s Day, we always have a drink with family with a dinner. Also, games shouldn’t be scheduled for times where it’s impossible for fans to get public transport back from it's ridiculous. I also don’t enjoy driving to games one bit. The attendance was reflected with the Sheffield United game (actual attendance, not tickets sold).
A meal n few drinks before n after with family completes a matchday tbf.

How long do you have to drive?
I'd just not be having a drink with dinner, its only new years day
I'm sure the alcohol addiction can be put to one side for one game.

With respect mate, the issue here isn’t having a drink or not New Year’s Day. It’s the fact that once again fans are thought of last with a ridiculous kick off time with no public transport. If your issue is more fans having a drink or not rather than fans being unable to get public transport to a game you’re on the wrong side of the argument. Many don’t even have the option to drive

Baffles me that when people say they won't bother with the match if they have to drive because they can't have a drink.
For the record, I agree it's ridiculous putting it on a day when there's no public transport. Some people don't have a choice.

Think the club felt the disatisfaction at last years fixture.
Bit of a kick in the bollocks if they then just proceed again.
