Under 14 entry rule which makes sense.
You could say :-
Yes the club won't have budgeted for this windfall so in the summer window, given the extra revenue we could just go that bit further and get THAT player.......you know........that extra 100k might swing another 25k a year on a 4 year deal for say........ Dembele........who may then sell for double what we pay for him.......but dont worry until then Mr Short sighted, just think about saving that fiver that you need for errr a pint..
The collective is always stronger than the individual.

I'm guessing that you didn't think it was big and clever to throw bottles and flares etc back then.
You speak for yourself.
Get behind your team. Jesus Christ, it's £15 . £15, I bet you'd pay that for a takeaway......it's your football team who you support.
Fuck me, what is wrong with people.
It's not like we've been putting reserve/youth team players out.
These are our first team squad players....

I doubt we will get any more in the ground whether its £10 or £15 as you say its on Sky, it’s a Tuesday night in February and the Champions League is on TV. The relentless debate about ticket pricing never seems to stop but if people have issues with it and it could be for good reason then they won’t turn up, but should we make the final it makes a bit of a mockery when perhaps 20000 rock up at Wembley

There's a few things in it's favour.I doubt we will get any more in the ground whether its £10 or £15 as you say its on Sky, it’s a Tuesday night in February and the Champions League is on TV.

Jan is gone, a lot of home games in Jan and a notoriously skint month after Xmas, 1 game from Wembley, likely bit better weather.
Of course being on sky won't help and the competition isn't universally loved by many, but after the games we've seen in it and some of the drama, people should be more excited.
Knowing how much the fans can make a difference the club should do all it can to fill as much as possible. A full north would help massively.
It's another complete bonus game again, we've been very fortunate with the home draws in this competition, no bad rivalry to consider either.

Some good points there JJ. The North where l sit (well stand) is definitely getting back to where it should be and Tuesday was a very good example as much appreciated by Critch and the players, but again l doubt whether the price of an adult ticket of £10 or £15 will significantly affect the attendance against Posh. I hope I'm wrong but l expect the North to be well attended and the West less, l doubt the South will be open again!

Yes. A bunch of us from school started going on our own once we were at secondary school. Mainly because our parents all ran guesthouses, so weren't available to take us to the game until the Lights finished. Bear in mind this was the 70s, when going to the game was a lot livelier than now..

They didn't get recognition for the Fleetwood allocation either. My lad went - he had enough from other games thankfully.That’ll knock a couple of thousand off the gate…
£10 ST holders and £15 for non to get the ground full or whack Peterborough in the south and just focus on the two stands at £15.…the Firestick supporters branch will be saving their dough for Wembley whatever the price and the atmosphere was as good as it’s been on Tuesday with not many there.
IF we make it to Wembley I reckon the Club should subsidise the few hundred who went to Barrow in game 1… charge them £20.04 (2004 last LDV win) and then cover the the rest giving them two choice of ticket options. A nice touch for their commitment
I didn’t go to Barrow btw

That’s the issue. Too many wannabe hooligans in stone island, vaping, chucking flares and looking for a fight with any one - until someone says boo to them. Absolute menaces
In that case you are normal.
It's normal to want to support your team.
It's very strange and odd behaviour to not want to support your team in a semi final with the prize being a final at Wembley.
That is what frustrates me, why I'm so vociferous about this ridiculous situation.
This is one reason why we will always be smaller than Blackburn, PNE, Bolton, Burnley.....even Wigan would put 10k in their ground for this game.
The supporters of these clubs must be laughing at us.
Some supporters of this club don't deserve this game.

Dreadful. I know Bolton lads who were pissing themselves saying they had more fans there than us… that’s not what we’re known for. I can’t understand why people can’t spend £15 ffs it’s a couple of pints!
The club could and should be rewarded financially because they have invested wisely in the players who have got the club to this point.
The extra could be used to fund a new player next season. Just a thought !!
If £15 is too much for you then don't go. Even at a tenner you probably won't go.

Depressing isn't it arguing about wanting cheap tickets or not going out of some nonsensical argument about PL kids in the tournament.
I been watching us 40 years+ and in my lifetime it's the only cup competition I've seen us win and when they put me in a box will be the only one we will ever win.
So not going to a semi is bonkers

As flippant as the remark is, Personally I think it would be good to reward those that did make the effort to go to all the games as a thank you. I don’t fall into that category but it would be a good thing to do.And Firestick Fred still won't go.
Free to anyone who went to the early rounds and full price for the Johnnycomelatelys.

Keep it at £15 and keep the moaning fuckers away. Much prefer to have 3000 hardcore then 10,000 plastics trying to advise SS how to run a business. Maybe for once give something back to the owner who saved the club give the club a massive pay day!

I do hope the game is well attended and it would be brilliant extra revenue for the club. If not though the same fans who went to the Bolton game in the last round will I'm sure make a huge noise for the players who despite what some might think of this trophy have still done well to get to the semis. They deserve a good backing after some entertaining games in this competition and whilst some fans may dismiss the pizza cup it's a huge game for the players to try to get to play at Wembley and I just hope they get the support they deserve.
Fantastic post. I doff my hat sir....

I’ve also seen us win it but the finals felt like exhibition games, there were no wild celebrations when we scored. Let’s not pretend it’s a prestigious competition.
I’d take three points at Peterborough over beating them in the BSM.

MY son is absolutely delighted. Another matchnight under the floodies at Bloomerz. And we spend time together. Dont tell me that this run has not been our best for a longtime. I absolutely think we are a REALLY good one game shootout team. OMG the pens against the trotters was entertainment on its own. WE were brilliant in the old LDV vans in the noughties . And why not write a new club chapter for the current generation of younger fans, its our club and their future., UTMP.

Indeed. These mega-fans that shout down anyone who suggests cheap ticket prices should offer £50 for their tickets. Or alternatively STFU.

Yeah I did see that, pen shootouts are tense and exciting.
If you went to the LDV finals in Cardiff you’d know what I mean though surely? It’s a nice day out but it’s not comparable to a play off final where it actually means something.
Stop suggesting a price decrease for a semi final then.
If support for your club is propaganda then I'm guilty as charged......as opposed to your stance of the polar opposite.

It's funny when the only a few pints crew turn up and claim price has no impact or isn't a factor.
I suppose all retailers are wrong putting items at cheaper prices and watching them fly off compared to not selling or little psychological differences like 2 quid vs 1.99, which makes a difference.
There is always a price sweet spot for the product you are selling. In football there's others too, like weeknight games, the competition importance, number of games in a month etc.
The reality is, rightly or wrongly, some don't see this competition as that meaningful. The game is also, I think, live on sky. The club has done a deal game in the past for such league games, knowing that on tv has an impact so went with a 20 quid deal to try and compensate for that. So the club know full well price is a factor that helps.
Hopefully after some of the scenes the other night and seeing how much it meant to the players that'll change for some. It is our best chance to win a cup.

It’s a cup semi final one game away from Wembley ffs. People shouldn’t need any more incentive.
Some of our fans want everything while giving absolutely nothing.
Don’t want to pay? Don’t go. But stop expecting the club to hold your hand
OhhhBarryBarry!
Well-known member
The point is people do need the incentive as we saw against Bolton. The people on here suggesting £10 tickets will probably go at £15 or £20 anyway, they just want more casual fans to attend. No point arguing over it, most of our fans do need persuading. That might not be purely just financial, the club should probably big up the fact it's a cup semi final, one game from Wembley etc.
Why do we need to persuade anyone? To fill some seats?
I couldn’t give a monkeys about some empty seats.
The atmosphere with the few thousand committed supporters against Bolton was much better than a lot of Saturday afternoons with a 10k attendance. As was commented on by the players and manager, and a lot of posters of here.
OhhhBarryBarry!
Well-known member
Yes the atmosphere in the North was very good, but ideally we would fill more of the ground and spread the atmosphere, rather than at one end of the ground. It brings more money in for one and helps grow the fanbase over the long term.
