dune Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 With the rip off ticket tax, and the shoddy treatment of fans who cannot afford to pay for season tickets in one hit, it is going cost a lot of us a damn site more to watch third division football next season. Cortese must be laughing his head off at the complaints because he thinks he has us over a barrel and the mugs will moan but they'll have to put up with it and pay more. However the extra spent on tickets can be clawed back by boycotting the club programme, club merchandise (including the new shirt), matchday hospitality, the travel club, and food and drink on the concourse. I'm not saying a blanket boycott is needed, but I for one will be making a conscious effort to spend less on the extras next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 where the f*ck do you think the extra money we're making is going? We're spending millions of pounds on players, it's not as if Markus is pocketing all our money and putting nothing back into the club.

djharvey Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 LMAO! If you only have a certain budget for football, then i understand you wanting to cut back on other elements to offset the higher ticket price you will pay. However if you are now just on a mission to try and get one over the club because you think they have deliberately gone out to rip you off, then i think this action is pathetic!

JRM Posted 4 June, 2010 Share Posted 4 June, 2010 I agree with the opening the post. The rest of you can continue applauding being charged more money. NC should at least have had the decency of just increasing the ticket price by £3 rather than the ridiculous add ons. Where possible pay on the day away from home so they dont get the £3 just for the privilidge of sending you a ticket. can't believe others can't see THE CLUB ARE TAKING THE **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
