Things were different then, pubs shut at 10 30, had to be on the last bus home, so to be out all night with mum and dads permission was great.?

It’s easy to do especially if you plan ahead. When our ticket office was going through a dodgy stage last season and tickets were coming through late I signed up to a few clubs, it’s free and you don’t have to buy anything. Ive had emails urging me to get my season ticket before it’s too late from both QPR and Swansea ? Not me I rather be in the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All from random visits at one time or another. I think we might sit in home end at FGR if they don't spot us and tip us out- far more civilised than away area!

Take it they don't provide any benefits anymore. I've got one of them. I've always viewed it as a donation to the club basically, as the only thing you get is the choice of first dibs on away games. Others like me who live a way away only tend to look for away games closer to me than Derby, which limits them somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your referring to the graphic I saw earlier for Fulham vs Liverpool match tickets, £70 was the child's price. Adults and Senior concessions were £100! A ST in the corner Wendy House stand has gone from £199 to £999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was an upper limit on what they charged away fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they ramp up the prices in the equivalent home stand, so they don't fall foul of the rule that away fans don't pay more than home fans. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 4 hours ago, angieram said: There's no easy answer to this one. I have a certain sympathy for people who desperately want to go to their "home" match, and might not be able to. But I think @sage's list demonstrates that there will be a good number of away games when all fans will get a chance to attend because of capacity. Other games, some regulars and not-so-regulars will miss out. Might be me, but I will live with that and go to those I can. At least I won't be having to pay £70 a ticket. Fulham, shame on you!! Fleetwood, Burton and Forest Green will be fun ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
