By "small" that probably equates to a few dozen which I would expect every club to do. Our club went way OTT on the dishing out of freebies/discounted tickets which means that even though our crowds are actually up on 10 years ago, the revenue they generate is well down which would make us unique in that respect.

I chucked my SC in 2013 because my workplace gets 40-50 free tickets for every home game which I take advantage off. That's £400 a season they've lost off me and believe me there's plenty more in the same boat.

It's possibly a tactic you can get away with in the PL but in the Championship gate money is crucial and it will hit home this coming season when total gate receipts equate to around £7m for the season or Jack Rodwells salary x2.

This is spot on.

The freebies we dish out is out of hand. The amount of people I've noticed going through turnstiles next to me with a ticket marked £0.00 is incredible. I'm convinced that if we stopped this that some gates would dip below 30,000 and the club are concerned about how this would look. The club have, however, completely devalued the match day revenue stream.

I'm not speculating how many but they wouldn't say to supporters howmany.
 
Dont want to get into personal details mate, but if you think spending a quarter of your income once a fortnight is a good idea???????????????????????????????????????????????
What you talking about? how is 35 quid a fortnight or 70 quid a month a quater of a min wage income?
 
So most agree it's a great idea just as I thought
 
.....surely everyone must agree that this a brilliant idea? What could be better next season than a full sol for most games with a cracking atmosphere to spur the lads on. Whats more the club will make an absolute bomb from catering/drinks/merchandise. Its been years since the sol has been filled on a regular basis and I for one long for those days when we could welcome teams to the sol and hear the raw as the team came out to that ready to gan song !!!

Is this guy for real......

doing that will improve your already poor match day revenue. someone isn't going to spend 30 quid on drinks or grub inside the ground to make up the individual shortfall

you could offer free entrance and you'd still not fill the ground, its not the Price of tickets thats the issue its the nature of the product on show

Maybe Jezza Corbyn will seize all the seats and force tories to sit in them with their eyes pinned open.
