Didn’t you label anyone opposed to VAR as being “without any real understanding of systems of governance, workable rules, referee comprehension etc”? Or was that someone else.I get it nano, you think anyone with a different from you is dumb, well done
My local Vue is £4.99. No adult or children's prices. Everyone pays the same. Full family of 4 is £19.96 including booking fee. The £19 at the Riverside is really £20.50. Family of 4 in the cheapest seat in the stadium is £108.

possible but that isn't dumb, that's just inexperienced in defining and enforcing systems of governance which is a very complex task, but most people won't realise that because they don't do it for a living. It's the opposite of a silly ad hominem attack like "you're dumb"
If you read it again you will see that I didn't call you dumb. I said your argument was dumb and i stand by that. You are arguing that Boro's prices are justifiably high because alternative leisure activities are also high but you completely mis-stated the price of those alternative activities and then when it was pointed out how wrong you were you did it again with other equally dumb examples.
The £19 (without the stupid fee) is expensive for both as it's the parents that are paying it though, it's not like once a kid hits 12 they are out earning to help contribute & please don't come back at me to say he should have a paper round or whatever. Surely, as a fan, you want the price of a match to be competitive so the child would rather be coming to the game than going bowling. Which is around £6 anyway for an under 16.

Ah i let you off the block list and you lasted 5 mins. I’ve already explained the difference between my comments about creating complex systems of governance, you refuse to comprehend that, so off you pop
The thread is relating to kids tickets, why do they need to be among the most expensive in the country?
And 3 quid if you have 3 phone contract
There is no reason. Simple as that. Not one reasonable explanation in 72 posts.
They probably could be less but to keep the same budget it has to go up somewhere else, such as on adult tickets, effectively further subsidising kids further
No it doesnt, other clubs dont do it, clubs charging less than us for adults, and as stated theres probably not that many actual kids walk ups, factor in extra tickets sold if they were more reasonable, leading to more mech sold, money spent on the concourse, a programme etc and hopefully a full psying customer in years to come
A) Adults don't subsidise kids. We've already covered that. Subsidisation would mean adults are covering the cost of a child attending the stadium. They are not doing that. Rob has already said the cost of running the stadium equates to circa £15 per attending fan. Children are paying £19 plus additional spends. Therefore covering their cost plus adding £4 to the pot. They could be reduced to £15 which is probably still too expensive and be cost neutral.
My word I didn’t realise I had been granted a 5 minute audience.
Sell Hoppe. Job done ✔ . At the end of the day BoroMart you have your opinions and I respect that. You clearly have a similar mindset to Gibson. It seems to be one that only thinks about the here and now though. This football club will be still going long after Steve Gibson has gone. It's vitally important you get kids on board to maintain a good solid fanbase in years to come. Look at Sunderland as a prime example, cracking attendances but is there any surprise as their season tickets have been excellent value over a long period of time, particularly for kids.
It’s not just about the here and now, the only way we will generate long term support is through a sustained run the prem and that will make kids want to support us.
