No, cos the beer costs them next to nowt. Less than £100 per season per customer.Cant the club just withdraw the free pint offer and reduce the cost of a ST by £100 instead?

I don’t think it’s about justifying it, as such. It’s pretty clear we shouldn’t be 7th on the list if you go by commonly acceptable metrics.Only Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa Liverpool & Bournemouth are more expensive.

The justfification, from a footballing perspective, would be along the lines of if we charge more than our rivals and get similar crowds then we have more money available and can out-compete on signings etc.
I know it's not that simple but if I was wanting to appease the hordes that would be the rationale I'd be starting with.
I can't speak for everyone but if the early bird deadline hadn't been stupid and the accompanying email had some platitudes and a spiel based on the above I'd probably not have given it a second thought.
The furore is as much to do with the how as with the what - plus the unfortunate run of results and lack of positive transfer activity. Perfect storm.
When a club like Chelsea are charging just £5 more you know it's ridiculously priced. Gibson what are you thinking??Only Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa Liverpool & Bournemouth are more expensive.

Just offer two free beers per season ticket per game and that will probably stop all the mithering.Cant the club just withdraw the free pint offer and reduce the cost of a ST by £100 instead?
What’s this for mate, highest priced season ticket? Or averaged priced season ticket?Only Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Villa Liverpool & Bournemouth are more expensive.

Good point .What’s this for mate, highest priced season ticket? Or averaged priced season ticket?
The free pint thing should be ignored for all comparison purposes. Less than half of all season ticket holders are entitled to it and a lot of them don't use it / want it.When you take into account the amount of home games you get in the champo compared to the Prem, the per game cost actually places us 12th. The free pint thing probably pushes us closer to the cheapest end of the Prem in terms of value for money.
Which is still too much mind, considering where we are.
You have to be careful with comparisons like this. Yes Chelsea s cheapest ticket is £595 but that is in their family area so a single adult couldn't get that one.When a club like Chelsea are charging just £5 more you know it's ridiculously priced. Gibson what are you thinking??
