As I said it is getting very expensive-I never said tough shit at all so don't start bullshitting. I actually said it's a price that we have to pay for what is going on at the club. We want the best then we have to pay for it. I am not saying it is correct but I suppose it's life. I want the club to freeze prices for the fans who are not as fortunate as me to have 2 above average incomes.
I have a ceiling of which I will not go above. It's all about what any fan is willing to pay. At the moment I am still within my ceiling.
Do you not find that if you have a little bit more money then you've got a more expensive car, bigger house, you take another Holiday or just spend more Shopping? I think only the super rich are the ones who pay out for everything without having to worry about the expense.
What we really need to do is wait to see what the deal is with next season and make a judgement.

Agree 100% totally Peoff. You live to your means and sometimes above it. Nothing official from City so I think it may just be the rumour brigade

I remember that, st helens view was like you have stated- anyone who cant afford it than tough shit...... along those lines :) Maybe hes being priced out and now realised that the rise in prices is wrong ? This seems to be happening to a lot of people.

I paid £550 in SL2 last season.If it's an 8% increase that takes me to £594 notes. My limit is £650 so probably one or 2 seasons more for me.
Good job I saved up £350 in 20p's and 50p's...Season ticket will cost me in essence £250 sheets this year. It is getting very expensive-just thought the club would have frozen prices this year.

Anyway, glad that you have seen the light. The fans are the one constant at this club and it is, relatively, worth absolutely nothing to the club to treat them well. The club could charge £200 per season ticket and it would barely register on the bottom line. Especially given the way they will splash silly money on all sorts of other matter at the drop of a hat. However, because it is some tosser's job to squeeze every bit of revenue out of the fans that they can, this is ignored. All in the name of someone making a name for themselves as a second rate business guru. Funny really, as a monkey could squeeze money out of football fans. They are just about the most receptive market around. So whoever gets aroused by the column titled 'Fan Revenue' going up really shouldn't. It doesn't exactly make you Warren Buffett.

I know there is only 1 game in the FA Cup above the cap and 2 in the League Cup, but for the most expensive cup competition there is nothing.
Tough Draw = £40
Rubin Kazan etc... = £30
Last year:
Dortmund £30
Ajax £30
Madrid £40
Those prices were £5 less than if not on the cup scheme.
It is knowing what next year's policy will be that is the problem.
