3rd cheapest is double what I paid
Ouch!
They’re steep, we’re very lucky
That’s about a week’s rent in a bedsit in Fulham
The combined price for me and my two kids STs is £150 less than one of their cheapest adult prices.
Rip off X 10
Who the feck do they think they are?
London init
Nice way to repay their fans!
They are going to come straight back down
Supply and demand. If enough people want to pay those prices, then the club would be stupid not to charge them. Only way to deal with it is to not pay it. As soon as you pay, you lose the right to complain.
Gate receipts are a relatively small source of income in the Premier League. Instead of squeezing as much money as you can manage out of your fans, how about keeping prices at a reasonable and affordable level so that less well off fans aren’t priced out of supporting their club.Originally Posted by Badly Ironed Shirt
Affluent part of the UK.
Small ground with less seats than would be customers.
Owners see it as a chance to cash in.
Probably be full of corporate businesses and plastics with some real fans priced out.
Survive a few seasons and could well be a sign of things to come here.
The borough has a poverty rate of over 30% which is above the London average. Tucked away behind those affluent looking houses are a number of run down council estates which suffer some of the highest rates of deprivation in London.
You have to remember that Fulham are one of the best footballing teams in the world and the pricing reflects that.
Because most clubs are still losing money despite the TV riches. If fans are happy to pay high prices, the clubs will charge it. Change needs to happen, but fans need to boycott games. One season of low crowds and clubs will be forced to change. As it is, the grounds will be full weekly and clubs will think (or be excused) they have the prices spot on because of that. People find it difficult to justify not being "loyal" by stopping attending. It's a perfect mindset for wealthy capitalists to exploit.Gate receipts are a relatively small source of income in the Premier League.

Fans need to boycott games.... goodness you will be going mad if that happens after last seasons crowds...
That said, I agree with you, in so far as despite the T.V money clubs are STILL losing money. That’s why I think we should not overspend this season.
Interesting you say that.
It looks like Fredericks is leaving and they have 6 players on loan.
I’d have thought Cairney will go to a bigger club, so they will actually have more work to do than us.
Given their mega rich owner you’d expect them to deal with it easily, but it’s not a given.
Of the players on loan - Mitrovich is I guess the biggest - would the geordies want to sell to one of their rivals next year?
I reckon they would for around £14m.
His record for the Mags is ok (14 in 65 games) but he’s probably one of these strikers that is too good for the Championship and probably not quite good enough for the Premiership.
Hopefully some of our players can actually improve by playing in the Premiership.
Anyone know how much they were paying this season?

Thanks, that's a very steep rise isn't it - virtually double in some cases. I daresay that, with their small capacity, Fulham will say that they need to do that to keep their gate receipts at around the same level as other Premier League clubs, but that doesn't wash with me.
Those figures reflect great credit on those in charge at Cardiff.
Cardiff's ticket prices are very good. But, do you think Cardiff could charge more and still sell 23000 season tickets? We won't know the answer but we do know South Wales is not affluent. Fulham is a different situation to Cardiff - maybe Wolves would be a fairer comparison?
NO
No I don't, but, for those who buy early bird season tickets every year, I'd be surprised if there's a better deal in next season's Premier League and I would have thought those who waited before buying are getting one of the better deals in the division as well - I know you don't like seeing this, but Tan and co should be credited for the support they have shown a fanbase, that I believe could definitely have supported the team better (at home anyway) during the season.
How much does matchday revenue represent in the overall income for Premier League teams.
It depends what they were charged last season as to how much of a rip off it is. I imagine the average Fulham fan is taking home a lot more than the average Cardiff one
