Price Of Football.. Bbc


Recommended Posts


I thought this was the most interesting part of the BBC's Price of Football coverage. The rest of the hand wringing about EPL tickets is just bollocks, clearly the EPL doesn't give a flying fuck about fans as long as the get the cash they need from TV, so nothing is surprising there.

 

The german approach is inspirational actually - if the SFA and SPFL had the slightest bit of gumption they would be working towards this model.

 

But of course we know they would sell every fan in the country own the river to make a few more bucks - just look at their actions in the Sevco debacle.

 

Or indeed at the ridiculous prices for Scotland internationals now - totally unnecessary they way they are ripping off fans going to Scotland games.

 

As for the Dons, the figures seem to suggest we are pushing our luck a bit, they better be reducing the debt seriously this year and next if thats how badly they are overcharging the fans....

It's nonsense. This doesn't take into account the early bird prices or the Merkland stand which is significantly cheaper than what they have quoted here. fair enough, it's expensive to just walk in and buy a ticket (although they did address this with recent games) but you can buy one online before hand for quite a bit less and it saves waiting around in queues.

 

I go to the Merkland with my nephew and it only cost an extra £10 for another adult to join us in the previous two games. Again, these costs aren't factored into the "investigation".

 

I agree prices are too high, but they should look at all the facts first before just spouting this sort of stuff.

As long as season ticket holders get a good deal I'm fine with the pricing structure.

I've just spent £40 for me and two bairns for the Celtic match. Couple of twix's in the pooch plus the petrol. Burger in Frunkie and Benny's and then home.

 

I seriously doubt you could do anything else in Aberdeen for that time at same cost. Fuck sake I was £6 to park in Edinburgh for an hour the other day. And that's main stand front row so they can see and not nip my head, none of your merkland pish.

Stoney will be along in a moment with a long list of things that are far better value for money in Aberdeen.

What was the OF is what is responsible for the state of Scottish football.

Sky also have a lot to be responsible.

 

If it wasn't for the OF robbing the bulk of the cash, then clubs wouldn't have been forced to over charge to make sure they can break even.

 

The watering hole has been poisoned by them & although the poison has been somewhat diluted by the huns killing themselves (& some clubs have shown signs of getting back up there) it will never fully recover because a new strain of poison will be coming soon again.

 

Rangers were part of the HIV of Scottish football, now Sevco are the Ebola
