We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves

[conners]

Ticket prices have gone up. I'm not happy, you are not happy.
My ticket will cost £999.

BUT....

Aresenal's cheapest ticket this season will be £951 and their most expensive will be £1944.

It is no longer the case that we are in different leagues. We are a premier league team and need to compete with the Arsenal's, Liverpool's etc. Our owners have done their bit and will continue to do so, however, we (as fans)must all step up to the plate also. I appreciate that some fans will not be able to afford the prices but there is no easy solution.

If 35000 odd north Londoners can afford a minimum of £951 I am sure that 9-10000 West Londoners will be able to afford the new prices also. We are no worse off than them.

STOP moaning, pay the money and think about the 19 great days out we will have watching our club in the Premiership over the coming twelve months.

**** off you mug people like you make me ****ing sick, arsenal £951 thats good value for a team playing champions league football and have some decent players open your eyes pal.

[Scarlet pimple]

Arsenal have a state of the art stadium and players to match.

We have a shoitehole of a stadium and prob a budget team.

One might have justified prices, but watching a budget team from a shoithole of a stadium does not.

As my mate Paul would say :

Oh dear,I had a hunch this would happen

[Stilts]

Arsenal is a stupid example to give, if you're trying to bang the drum for the prices. They include all Champoins League Games and all FA Cup Games in their season ticket price.


Yes, the prices are out there now, so it's "take it or leave it".
But please don't spin things.

Conners....you have to understand its not just about the f@*king price....

a) its the fact the club have shown no respect or discount to those loyal fans who backed the club at the last hike in prices and put their hand in their wallet. A new ST holder will pay the same as a renewing ST holder of 35 years....
b) its the fact that those fans that went home and away last year could miss out on Arsenal away if its our first match because loyalty points havent carried over and everyone is on the same points total!
c) its the fact that they haven't even given us a cup game for free...
d) its the fact that ST holders have to shell out another £35 to get priority to buy tickets, even though they have already spent 760...

yeah most will probably pay including myself (there was never gonna be any doubt) but today I have become even more detached from the club I love....

the atmosphere in the stands after the last price hike was toxic and I fear fans will get on the backs of the players and manager early on if things are not going well.....before I could never really understand this but if someone pays £999....by god they can do and say whatever they like....

[UB6-RANGER]

Arsenal fans, well some people claiming to be Arsenal fans were even protesting their season ticket prices. So if supporters of a team like that are unhappy about paying whatever. Then it's not going to consolidate us much for a potential year of a relegation scrap. I wonder what the demand is regardless of loyalty unless they've had 100,000 phone up for a ST I don't get these prices. Funding us is a ****ing tax break for Mittal.

[silvercue]

And do you think the prices will come down when we get relegated? NO THEY WON'T

If people could read that, before assumimg that others are just moaning about the prices, it would help.

It's VERY dismissive of the fans who've been rolling up at Loftus Road, and travelling away for years.
NOTHING is offered to them as a reward. I don't just mean money. That's wrong.
