I said on the verdict thread, there is NO FUCKING WAY ON THIS PLANET there were almost 30k there last night. Probably closer to 26k.

Palace was an even bigger lie as they only sold about 2,000 seats in the Steve Bull. We all have eyes, you know.

fair play to forest. sold out and they all turned up despite it being on tv etc.
we remeber days like that when it was difficult to get a ticket. who was our manager then?

Forest provided one of the best away supports I've seen for a while. A good repertoire of songs, even though I couldn't understand what they were singing.

Some of those blatantly aren't true, tons of STH seats up for resale, but we don't sell out so they never become available for general sale and just sit empty (stupid system) but still count as a ticket sold. Palace and last night in particular. You can knock 2-3k off those figures, comfortably.

Are you telling me the frequent emails telling me "last chance to buy corporate tickets for the Forest game" was Jeff telling porkies. There was row after row of empty seats in the padded section of the North Bank lower.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I mean it was the last chance in as much as if you don't do it now, the match will already have happened

Those areas have been vacant for most of the season and there have been noticeable gaps in the NB in pretty much every home game.

I went to the Bournemouth game so I can't claim I'm continuing some kind of ideological boycott, but let's look at last night. Bloody freezing, the thick end of £50 a ticket, our best player ruled out in advance, it's on TV and if I go, I'm not getting home until at least 10.30, later if I hang on for a quick beer or two afterwards.

That's got very very little appeal to me right now, and I live at a push two miles from the ground, and I can effectively get work to pay for my ticket if I want, and well, it's me. So what chance have you got with your element of the fanbase who generally do only go a few times a season.

Chicken tikka wrap, cheesecake, a pint and a Q&A where you already know everything. Oh and you have to watch Wolves

Great afternoon out for the family of 4, not much change out of 900 quid

Could get a season ticket for that

Unsurprisingly Fulham is Cat C

Brighton have announced their season ticket structure for next year.

Brighton increase season ticket prices by 5% for 2025/26, increase senior concession discounts from 65 to 66 years of age (from 2026/27) and plan to reduce the discount for seniors to 25% by 2027/28 and 20% by 2029/30.

Considerably cheaper than what we charge already. With free parking/transport, a new stadium and better team

And a more affluent city

Shit stripey kit, shit badge, shit history. Some things are worth paying a premium for…..

Not one of the clubs we were benchmarking against

Get with the programme... we are paving our own way.

Just bought a NB ticket for West Ham for the disconcertingly normal price of £31.50.

Hadn't realised they'd made it Cat C. That's one I doubt they planned at the start of the season. Three games now where the price has been cheaper than the ST pro rata

Just bought a NB ticket for West Ham for the disconcertingly normal price of £31.50.

And that’s pretty much what you should be paying - especially considering the game, and the fact that is not shit or bust for either team.

I think most of us are just grateful that we’ll be watching PL football again next season - a lot are are now overlooking the fact that we’ve all been fucked over by the club on lots of levels this year.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'll still need to go to 3 of the remaining 4 games after West Ham (which I probably won't) to prevent it being my joint least-attended home season ever since 1988. I only went to 4 home games in 2001/02 but had the considerable handicap of living in Hamburg for most of the season (I got to one before I left and three over Christmas, and went to Forest and Blues away over Easter).

I will never ever ever advocate going back to the Championship "because it's more fun" because it fucking isn't, and I don't have a clue what we'd do with prices in that event anyway.

As for next season, we'll see. I could have afforded one this season but it was the principle more than anything, I now earn vastly more than I did a year ago but again, I'm not sure I want to hand them well over £700 in advance as they sell our best player and sell the manager short, which is what I suspect will happen (again).

Have I missed it, yes, very much so, but equally I can see how people stop going once the habit is broken.

 

[Tony Towner]

I've been to 4, lost the lot and that'll probably be it unless I choose to use a connection for a Man City ticket. Lowest since 86/7 season. I won't be getting a season ticket next year, I miss the theory more than the reality if that makes sense? If I couldn't get tickets for any home game I choose I think it'd bother me more, but I can't see that changing next year.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh yeah.

If I'd wanted to attend every single game buying individually, I could have and I wouldn't have had to try very hard either.
