Thing is, we have a tiny cramped ground that's barely changed in 40years. If we go up, I reckon it would be a damned cheek to jack up prices, particularly given that being in the prem swells the coffers by well over a £100 mil.
We'd have to charge away fans £30 in the prem, not allowed above that. Why not charge £30 max for all seats then? Let's face it, taking away the visiting fans and our season tickets, there'd probably only be a couple of thousand seats available for match day sale anyway.
23 games x 2500 seats x £30 = £1, 725,000
23 games x 2500 seats x £50 = £2,875,000
Given the club would earn an extra £120mil during one season in the prem, does it really need to milk and squeeze fans for a mere £1mil by whacking up prices to £50? Maybe if we were sitting in a flash new well appointed stand or stadium it'd be defensible. However, £50 to be shoehorned in same old LR would be taking the pee in my view and a cruddy piece of PR.
Oh well, it's all moot until we get promoted.
