the players would have to pay for training and their kit.
When they go to away games in Dublin, he would take players to Longford and then they would have to make their way to the game themselves.
Players to pay for attention and stretcher if they got injured.
Games would be two hours late, or cancelled....
It would be fun all right.....
I personally think the club are doing themsleves no favours by increasing the prices that much for european games, but by doing so, they are allowing dolan to bring a full squad of players out and to prepare properly for the match, so I guess the end justifies the means, even if it does seem a bit cheeky. the **** up in malmo with the tickets was just that- a **** up. lennox explained it, apologised and offered compensation (a pint in the horseshoe- more or less the same value as the difference in prices) What more do you want from the guy? He could have just said "tough" He didn't. And dahamsta is spot on- for the first time in our history this club is being run properly and that is down to one man, Brian Lennox- he deserves some respect and some trust
IMO the extra four euro was to make sure that everybody got their ticket early an dto avoid the hassle of selling tickets on the day, still though i think they misjudged the prices and people weren't going to pay 20 euors when they could see a game on the telly
Crap split to here. If you start it again, I'll lock the thread and I'll start doling out suspensions. Joe might be happy to let this adolescent behaviour slide, but I'm not.

NEC price structure for into toto cup game v cork city

€12.50
€15.00
€20.00
Cork City price structure for into toto game v NEC
€10.00
€16.00
€20.00
Not much difference if you ask me. Whats all the fuss about?
First Division Champions
Kevin,
our tickets there cost €10
Their tickets here cost €20
that's double the amount, bit of a difference to me, and you haven't mentioned whether the facilities at their stadium are better or worse
For me, the argument isn't whether or not I'll pay it, or if the club needs the money, or if Lennox has done a great job, the answer to all three is yes.
I'm just concerned that the price will keep barstoolers away, and knock them all you like, but we all had a first city game that got us hooked, I think Malmo or NEC could have been that game for a lot of people, but the €20 price tag will keep them away.
It's too much for a game you've little interest in.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
I don't see too many complaining about the prices, we just expressing opinions why they should be lower.
Course club can recoup the PR buzz if we continue thru the competition by keepiong prices the same all the way...
dont get me wrong lads i dont mind paying the money
and the win away in malmo.......well, u just cant put a price on that
just stating that there seems to be a bit of a trend starting
As well they might, and if they do that will have to be addressed. There are two factors at play here, gate receipts and gate numbers. Lennox is clever enough to know that if gate receipts are up but gate numbers are down, he's losing support and will need to do something about it. We know this because he's encouraged support, so he obviously wants gate numbers up. He just needs time to tune and tweak the numbers.

€16 seems like a bargain at this point!
I would be very surprised if City dont get a full house now.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
I agree. People have no excuses now.
Champions!
People will always find excuses Colm.
From my point of view, I think I'd find it hard to convince any non-City person to splash out EUR20 for Sunday.
I personally think it is too much. I'll pay it because I always do, but for people going into the unknown, they want a guarantee of something back. Which you get at no football match, but they don't seem to realise that...
im after convincing a few from work
treat as a line night out i.e. p!ss up and they are like kids in a candy store
also convinced the brother and his buddy
Lads,
I'm a Shels supporter ( although not a die-hard one ) and I went down to buy a ticket today quite happily willing to pay €20 but was pleasantly surprised to find that they are only charging €16 if you buy in advance.
I think the price is reasonable, as long as there are discount for kids ( a buddy of mine is going with his wife and two young kids, so it would only be fair that it wouldn't cost him an arm and a leg ).
Surely if a Dub is willing to pay €20 to support City, then the rest of ye Corkies should too?
Come on City!!!
lads,
any game in Jackland costs €15 bar Pats who I think are still at €12 so I can't see the problem with paying €16 for a Euro game.
Up she Flew!!
I don't think any City fans can be complaining about the price for tickets after reading this!!!!!Lads,

Exactly. Fair play to ya shelsman. I'm bringing 4 extra guys that normally wouldn't go to the cross. Got the tickets yesterday for 16 Euro
I tried to persuade a few lads from work to go but had no joy ( the problem is that I brought them to another City Euro game a few seasons back when ye were playing a swiss team and it was a BRUTAL match, so they've not been interested since ).
Also tried to get my aul fella down from Dublin but no joy either. Still, I'm meeting a buddy and his family there so it should be good craic ( especially if City win!!! ).
