Leeds away £47

Guinness Guzzler said:
Yes, definitely on the radar. When I first saw the price l spoke to others at RAWA. As some are linked to the FSA it's an issue which they're very much keen to push. When the reciprocal pricing was announced I forwarded it and it's going to be brought up with the club, hopefully we'll be able to push them to agree to it

Suspect that to save face Leeds are looking for a price that is below the standard price for away fans. Club would be keen to minimise revenue loss but if they set the cap at £30 it would be less than standard price so could be acceptable. You would think that a championship cap could be introduced which has to be less than Premier League, so somewhere between £20-30, you'd think that might be at £25
 

as much as I'd love for us to there again and take all 3 pts home with a 3-0 win, they can fuck off with that price. Surely summit gotta be done

what happened to 20s Plenty Campaign.

It would be great if a championship standard price cap could be introduced. Unfortunately the issue with this is that the EFL aren't keen to push for it and see it as an issue for the clubs, which is a pain in the arse!

Sheff Wed ‘only’ charging Southampton £36. 2,400 allocation, uplifted later by the authorities.

Seems this is Cat D, away fans charged an extra fiver than those on the Kop cos that aren’t Sheff Wed members (what a load of bollocks). No doubt we’ll be Cat A or B.

Suspect we will be Cat A at almost every away ground in the league. Other clubs know that there will always be a demand.

£47 for Sheff Wednesday fans

Its £47 because Wednesday refused to enter into a reciprocal deal, unlike Cardiff whose fans paid £24 and we will pay the same. Wednesday will make more out of charging us £47 than lowering the price as they make almost nothing off the sale of away tickets. Also if they are struggling I expect them to maximise income by increasing our allocation.

Cardiff and Birmingham agreed reciprocal deals. Ipswich on Saturday and Wednesday next week have refused. That's the just of it.

Ironic you say that, since Leeds are literally offering a reciprocal deal.

As we have turned down the opportunity for
plenty of such deals in the past few years, I won't hold my breath we'll see any reduction.

The club don't give a shit about their own away fans, and instead want to maximise their profit from home games.

Don’t forget mate, Leeds are the bad guys in this. They are ripping fans off and are now trying to screw other clubs with this reciprocal deal thing. It’s a total win/win for them.

£47 for Sheff Wednesday fans

£41 on the Kop at Hillsborough for the Ipswich game, be more for Leeds, and no doubt the same for you lads..its not dependant on the quality of football, its dependant on the followings these clubs bring.
If we were playing Bournemouth, it would be under £30, they bring nowt.
Wednesday have virtually no walk up at all now, don't blame anybody, simply fleecing football fans,
In the long term, it simply dilutes the fanbase of the club, you can't afford to take your kids, you don't go yourself, cos the kids can't and you find summat else to do.
As fans, all we will do is sing songs at each other about it, while none of us can do jack about it.
We have Sheffield United playing such as Liverpool for far less than us playing Ipswich, how do you compete with that?
answer is you can't, apart from the dyed in the wool idiot, such as myself.
United will grow their fanbase because of it though...
"Wanna watch a match in Sheffield...£30 for Liverpool at The Lane...or you can pay the £41 to see Wednesday V Cardiff"
"ohh let me have a think...."
Bloody ludicrous...
