Was charged 10 euro to bring my 6 year old to the Waterford v Pats match last night. Now before anyone complains I tight , I'm not but how in the name of God is a club like pats going to attractive someone with more than 1 child to a game? Surely a token few quid, atttract the parents and put bums on seats would be a more appropriate approach to expand the support base in this area?
kids under 12 who are with an adult get in free at terryland.
Anybody who charges a tenner for a child under 12 who's accompanied by an adult isn't worth your support
They wontQuote:

They offer family tickets. Something like 30 for an adult and three kids. Not 100 postive on the detailsQuote:

Apart from the 9 yr old, the other two won't have a notion whats going on. So for me and my family to go to Richmond it would cost me €70 per game. Thats not including the petrol (I live in Laois), and the customary McDonalds or hotdogs or whatever. Now it's over a HUNDRED EURO! Suddenly it's not funny anymore. I don't have a huge problem with the price of an adult ticket being jacked up but childrens tickets, no way!
Kids go free at Bohs, when accompanied by an adult.
Only in the Des Kelly end thoughQuote:

How do you work that cost out?Quote:

And why would anyone want to go to games when you have the likes of the Bray schooligans?Quote:

Shels got rid of the free season tickets for under 16s!
Just an idea.
Being Paddys weekend, the FAI should have been out at Dublin Airport handing out thousands of free tickets to tourists to go to Rovers, Pats and Bray last night.
It would have swelled attendances, promoted the game abroad and the clubs would have profited from programmes and merchandise.
Especially at SHAMROCK Rovers, the Septic Tanks would have loved all that on Paddys Day.
On a different note, what are the clubs doing to entice our East European friends to games. Surely clubs could twin with Wisla Krakow or Steaua Bucharest or something like that. Anything is worth a go.
Attendance at Rovers last night was poor.
Well its lucky you suggested it the day after then aint it
I don't get paid to think of these things. Other do. maybe they should do their job.Quote:

Well its lucky you dont get paid clearly, when did anyone mention liverpool or man u ye looper
It's called using a comparison to make a point. Language dear boy.Quote:

Lets continue with attendances of 350. There'll be more people at a LSL division six match tomorrow morning.
Two more clubs to go bang this year.
Well done. You must be proud of our 'little league'. You can whinge and moan infinitium and blame everyone for everything.
I know we dont have an attendance of 350 , i get it your a ucd supporter.
Was i blaming the fai for not handing out tix in the airport ? No
I dont believe i was blaming anyone for anything
Do you believe that everyone flying into dublin is from dublin?
And your comparison to make a point, what point is that exactly ,
I await your rambling response with anticipation?
Dunno about Liverpoo, but Man u and Arsenal absolutely do not. They also don't sell any tickets at reduced proces so if you want 1 adult and 3 kid to go you buy 4 ticketsQuote:

Read my first post and when you understand it let me know because judging from your two replies, you clearly don't. Hope I didnt ramble, I know you can't read properly.
