Will take a good few seasons to price the fans out I reckon. Last time we were there with over 40,000 average we got less than £10m in revenue. If everyone had to pay double and they didn't give out free tickets they'd still push no more than £20m at most.

The money from being in the Premier League, sponsorship etc dwarfs the total revenue for some clubs. Hopefully this is where they focus on making money, the football side and not from fleecing the fans by simply pricing many out if the ground gets full (even after an extension) plus they also make it more pf a fan thing around the game and again limit the pricing structure as they know they can make money elsewhere without the fans having to be stung :cool:

Clubs can probably survive in the premier league quite profitably without fans turning up tbh.

In the words of Radiohead, 'nice dream'.

I’d hazard a guess when this three year price freeze on season card prices ends our prices will rise substantially.
Of course Mr Donald won’t be in charge by then will he.

Its obvious to most in that needs to happen for us to be a even a moderately successful club which I'm sure all of our supporters want us to become....... But with Success, there will be a price to pay. Bring more fans and so on on board by all means, but there is a way for those who only can afford to go to the odd game a way of letting them join in to......football for everyone.

This is going back quite a long time now. 1970s I think. If it’s the same driver then you’ll be pleased to know he’s still going strong well into his 90s! Me and the current Mrs EJK will be seeing him at the end of the year on our trip back to Blighty.

That goes without saying, but why have a go at someone who is providing information.
Roll on the takeover being announced.
And yes I do believe what Reiver is saying.
