Quotehow was it a great decision! only 3500 turned up!Originally Posted by GavinZac
other people paid 20 so i averaged it out.
in fact, if more people paid on the day than before hand (because none of the shops had tickets) it'd be higher
how was it a great decision! only 3500 turned up!
where did ya get that figure like, everywhere except the saint anns was fullhow was it a great decision! only 3500 turned up!
all the papers quoted that.......the club are saying 3000
I hope the club look at the poor crowd and take note regarding thoughts of charging anything more than about 12 euro next season.
I can understand the Club's point of view... saying they are investing a lot of money in getting UEFA licence and also the cost of having a pro set-up...
BUT... IMO attracting people through the turnstiles is still very important too. In the long run it's better to get 6/7,000 people paying a tenner than 3/4,000 paying 20. The extra couple of thousand that didn;t turn up on Sat night missed a great advert for live football.
Shels are paying for upping their prices from 10 to 15. They never got great crowds but now they are lucky to get 500 and they are miles ahead in the league. same with Rovers, Bohs, Wford and more - getting pitiful crowds.
I'd say 12 euro for league games next year. And sell tickets for the next game for a tenner.
Thats a good idea alright.
I think tho that the club should really make a better effort of selling season tickets to people, then when they do charge €20 for a game like Malmo people wont mind as much IMO as in effect it would be a once off.
Oh no not them again
Barely anyone paid on the day so even if said 1/3 u-18 2/3 over 18 would mean:
€16 * 2333 = 37,333
€10 * 1166 = 11,666
Total - 49k (attendance probably 3500)
i presume by 'barely anyone' you mean 'not me'? i know loads of people who paid on the day.
and theres no way there was only 3000 people there. no chance. wait til tonight, then you'll see 3000 (tuesday + rain).
whether ye think its attractive or not to the iwoto fans, the club still has to pay for its little excursion to sweden, its tarmacing of the grounds, and the reconstruction of the curragh road gate. that might not seem like a lot, but it isnt even our ground. we still pay rent.
complain about the €20 all you like, the fans could have bought them for €16 and in truth if you arent willing to pay €20 to see our first european game in 4 seasons, then i dont think you qualify as a city fan. i know i would have paid 3 times that. in fact i took a half day in work so it probably cost me that much.
so ur qualified now to say who is a real city fan and who isnt
some people just couldnt afford it and lennox got it wrong by pricing some people out of it,especailly clashing with euro 2004
we are supposed to be trying to intice people to the cross,not keep them away
I don't think this one game is going to intice people not to turn up to league games. The fact is was one of City's best performances every might intice more to turn up to league games.we are supposed to be trying to intice people to the cross,not keep them away
With the crowds from the Pats and Derry games all tickets could have been sold out for €16. Why anyone didn't buy there ticket before Saturday is baffling
CITY til' I die!!!!
i knew one of ye would say something stupid like that.
who, tell me, can't afford an extra €6 to see one match? it might not have attracted any new fans but for christs sake if you forsake your curry chips and burger you'd have the €6.
yes, im a real city fan. if you cant be bothered to get off your ass and watch them, then you're no better than a man u "diehard". there was certainly more entertainment the other day than there will be when roy keane brings man yoo's u19 team to the cross to play ramblers, but they'll hav no bother paying the €20 for that. come to think of it they'd no bother paying €20 to see chris bloody sutton.
is that "you" as in me or "you" in general
in general, to be fair you're there every week.
