This is rip off Ireland remember

The reason Rip off Ireland get away with this sort of thing is because plebs like us put up with it and just shrug our shoulders and pay up regardless. I for one am not going to United Park this season simply on an economic stand point. As Max Power pointed out What makes United Park so special from the rest of the grounds in the el. I hve being following LTFC since Charlie Walker was manager of the Town and am definitely no fair weather supporter but I refuse to support a financially reckless club trying to rip off the general soccer going public. Its not as if the town are getting a cut of the gate or any thing. and if more away supporters boycotted United Park then the board of directors at Drogs may see what a stupid idea it is to overcharge into their POXY ground

[max power]

"pleb" what a word, i agree with all of the statements above, you were up sh1t creek money wise last year, lost your sponser and youe answer is to rip off supporters wilth over the top prices.....

if yee lowered the price to €8, you'd get twice as many in or more, fill the ground nd get a goot atmosphere and great PR for the club, basic economics......but all clubs could do that to be honest

[Drogman.]

Not really. I for one disagreed with the original price increase and still disagree about the price of the stand but by saying that dropping the price will get more people in, then that's just silly. The sad thing in our town is that people who were not even going to matches just used the price increase to further their cause. The only way we'll get a big crowd every week is if we are in the top 2 or 3 all the time. Otherwise the club could be letting people in for free and still nobody would turn up. Its a shame really.

[BobtheDrog]

agree with what drogman says like him i was anti the price rise and was at the supporters club meeting where it was discussed. the board did what they thought was right, drogheda as a club is now run full time and we need the finances to keep it going all the leagues other full time clubs raised their prices and within a year or so longford will do the same, will you stop watching them then?

[max power]

economics lesson 1......

give people a bargin and they'll snap it up....or has its put in one book i've studied, stack em high and watch em fly !!!! i know at least 10 people from drog who have stopped going to gaemes because of the price, thats only who i know and family tickets must cost a fortune up there.....

your crowd will not grow with those prices and what happens to the next generation, what do you do to get them in ???? price is too high you won't attract new supporters, you'll be static and eventually go backwards......


our stand is still €8 cheaper than yours, that is almost 50% more expensive for a regional club, you can't justify those prices....if your board got up off their arses and bothered getting a club sponser then they would not have to take the lazy way out by raising ticket prices.....

you board are a group of plebs ( had to use it ) has anyone up there passed or even studied business studies for at least the leaving cert ????

[Macy]

that is almost 50% more expensive for a regional club,

They're not a regional club, just a shít Dublin suburb...

[max power]

and when i say you posted i thought is was going to be about our season thicket !! nice one

[Xlex]

Price of our season ticket is silly...

[max power]

i was askin for that really, wasn't i ......

[Xlex]

I was just thinking. Town should issue non attendance season tickets for louts like me and you who play GAA and have a thriving entrepreneurial streak respectfully...

[BobtheDrog]

They're not a regional club, just a shít Dublin suburb...

arent you the cheeky one today macy

[max power]

arent you the cheeky one today macy

Macy cheeky today, you haven't really been around here too long have you

[Macy]

Macy cheeky today, you haven't really been around here too long have you

He's probably been on the Drogs forum today, that's all.

[BobtheDrog]

well you see although this means nothing to you myself and macy have also been communicating on the drogheda board where he insulted my spelling ability.

[max power]

ah right, macy you get again this boards, you'll get a name as a board slut if your not careful !!!!!

lay off the old spelling thing, not great at it myself.....but they are all inbreed up there if you want to latch onto that point !!!

[BobtheDrog]

thats waterford you're thinking of. and at least unlike home farm we have fans

[max power]

xlex, betwwen, 2 jobs, training for the marathon an fund raising and puttin together the dvd i have little time to rant, but i shall do my best to continue....

do you thinkits worht puttin together a written marketing proposal to the club for various elements or should i just go home and talk to the wall ????


oh yeah GAA is out the window, long story but i was treated bad by the club so i walked, bit of a roy keane sutution to be true, but i might go back next season for a swan song, unfinished business and all that !!!!!

[max power]

thats waterford you're thinking of. and at least unlike home farm we have fans

fans must only have 2 legs and not be covered it wool, you are not allowed to legally marry these fans either, this may upset some drogs but you must face the truth.....

[BobtheDrog]

so why is it that drogheda contains no sheep or farm animals of any description whereas flancare is surrounded by them, is this so that you can all relieve yourselves at half time?
