Game on Sat 20th January.
Sky can't get enough of us all of a sudden, on 4 times in 4 weeks
Extra TV income though, can't be all bad.Quote:

how much £ do we get as away side? :easy:
I have been torn about this fixture ever since the new owners took over at Hillsborough.Quote:

But it is a 'home' away match for me. I went last year but boycotted the year before. Support the team, or give two fingers to SWFC?
42 fecking quid? Bleeding heck!
Not alot. Last year the away team got just £10k.Quote:

It's not as though they spend anything on the stadium. Grim facilities inside. Poor signage. Ancient turnstiles. Still, pays for the extra police.Quote:

Wolves are being charged £33 for Friday night. Still a rip off.
pay for a team flight up there :welshgirl:
I don't think the Sheff Weds ticket prices were actually announced last week at the meeting. I certainly didn't hear it, or make a note on it.
We were told what the allocatIon was and a few of us commented on what the prices were on previous occasions, but there wasn't an official price given.
I'm expecting it to be a lot lower, especially now the game is on TV

I was not set in stone and I did not say it was. What I said was "it was mentioned"
Can't you remember, when it was mentioned I told the people around the table "I WISH WE WOULD ALL BOYCOTT IT"
£42 may be their top price, but I very much doubt they will charge £33 for Wolves and £42 for us.Quote:

As for boycotting.I don't think Wednesday care, now if Derby, Forest, Sheff Utd, Leeds, Hull, Barnsley, Bolton all within an hour and other clubs like Villa, Boro, Birmingham and Sunderland etc.. also all a relatively short trip away boycotted them they might think again.
In the meantime they will just scoff at the likes of Fulham, Reading and probably us as having 'shit support'.
I'm hoping to see nearly every game from here in, but I'm in 2 minds over Sheffield Weds as their arrogance, and not just in the prices, but the overall treatment of away fans, makes me loathe to hand my money over to them
By the way I read from a Wolves fan that they are only taking about 1000 up there.
Don't know if that's true, but given they have been taking big followings everywhere it shows that if clubs charge silly money for Fri night Sky fixtures then it WILL affect attendances
We should all go in the home end.
Turn up and pay home prices.
If we plan that it will make it very hard for them to sell home tickets without massive checks.
They have to be shown that we won't be abused.
They charge home fans the same as far as I know. A disgrace I will not go to Hillsborough or Leeds because of the pricing. 30 quid for Bolton was also a a bit over the top. But 30 quid is about the limit for me.Quote:

Pretty sure that the CAT A price is just for Sheffield United. Swansea did similar to us when we were in the Prem and charged us more than they charged every other club that season.Quote:

I'd imagine we will be same as Wolves, at worst. Still a pile of bollocks, obviously.
Surely it's better to actually know than just speculate and scaremonger? Opening post was like reading ****.
What Mike wrote was purely factual and bland.Quote:
