Due to be released at 22.00 GMT, should be plenty to discuss !
Totally agree about club merchandise (particularly shirts) but before you criticise ECFC about kids prices, take a look at the offers for our younger supporters (Junior Grecians) Exactly what you're suggesting - designed to get them in and in the habit of going!Kids are the future survival of lower league clubs and failure to entice them in with free entry at every game then the clubs deserve to die. Get them in and in the habit of going. Footy is a total rip off across the board from ticket prices to replica shirts to catering.
Anyone who feels the need to respond with 'you don't have to go / buy / eat' then please don't show yourself up yes?
You what son?From the BBC web page;
Exeter City supporter Ryan Ward, 22, is one of the young fans who is struggling to keep up with modern prices: "Although I support a League Two side, I can often find it difficult to find the money to go to a game. Not only do you have the cost of a match ticket but you have the cost of travel, food and drink. It can quickly turn into a £40 or £50 day out."
Ryan Ward recommends the German model: "Another reason young people don't buy tickets is that you have to purchase a membership just to buy a ticket which can be roughly £25. Clubs need to follow Germany, where it is £20 a ticket, you can stand in the terrace, and pop up bars outside the ground are run by fans. The atmosphere is a lot better also."
