QPR were the greediest. £55 then knocked £5 off for over 65s and under a leaky roof at that. Glad to see them relegated not long afterwards.

Plus ,it was a 12:30 pm kick off and we were in the Stuart Pearce era !!That was because Whelan got greedy one year and jacked the price up massively so many refused to go. He didn't make that mistake next season and we filled that end up again.
If memory serves me I think we fielded our youngest ever side in our history-certainly premier era ,including nedum ,Micah etc
It was hiked to £40+ by whelan who wouldn’t reduce prices and there was indeed a fan backlash in protest at the ticket price ,
added to that we was 2-0 after 3 mins and ended up losing 4-0!
oh ,the super days of Stuart Pearce !

£35 it is then !
Thought it was genuinely over £40 !
think Wigan had the cheapest season tickets in the league at that time -around £150 for an adult !
hence the outcry

For some unknown reason, and I don’t know where it originated, we are rated as having a very good transport system. I think it, including the roads, are bloody dreadful!The public transport nightmare makes night matches unattractive. It's not just Metrolink, bad though that is. I find that if I leave my seat like a greyhound out of the traps at the final whistle I can generally get onto one of the buses going into town without too much hassle. (The queuing system is a bit shit but it gets there.)
The snag is when I get into town I have to walk to the Arndale for an hourly bus. Hourly! Or get the tram or bus to a point about a mile from home and leg it. At my time of life, given that I am knackered, this latter is not an attractive option, especially if it's pissing down, far from an unlikely contingency in our glorious Greater Manchester.
In fairness to the club, this is not down to them and there's nowt they can do about it. Even if tickets were 50p I would still think twice about going to a night match because of this hassle.

The seats at QPR are so crammed in that anyone over 4 feet struggles to sit down… fuckin subbuteo stadium.
Great views of the pitch? You can’t see anything in the half below you from the top tier of the School End.Great atmosphere and great views of the pitch, proper old school ground

I once got poisoned by a jerk chicken at a cup final. I will tell everyone about it one day.
