1st League Game

[Mr Sensible]

At Dunfermline 

£20 to get in...

I know it’s been done to death, but reasonable pricing from the Pars.

I see the official site is advertising tickets, hopefully PATG as well?

I suppose we could charge the same but then we'd need to cut our cloth accordingly

Tenner for a Bridie though.

If we had better recruitment these past 3 years we could have passed on savings to the fans, rather than pay off all the misfits.

All payoffs were covered by investment and transferred into shares. So doubt it.

Money still comes out the club whatever way you dress it up....

If I understand correctly,  losses are being covered by the owners so I doubt they would be willing to pass any savings on to the fans - it's not like we are making a profit.

No but having pay offs won’t help those losses.

Clearly - but I doubt that if the pay-offs weren't required the BoD would be willing to add to their losses by reducing ticket prices.  Quite simply, for a whole host of reasons we run at a loss and I doubt that any BoD would be reducing income in such a situation.

I just fear for the crowds this season if we don’t get out the blocks fast, season ticket sales are reportedly down, and with the club asking £24 to watch championship football, it’s imperative we make a fast start to keep punters interested.

I know it’s only £4 from our gate price to Dunfermline, but when it gets to a certain price (esp if we are playing poorly) then walk up punters will vote with there feet.

Just to add that I think Keyes has done a good job in my eyes, but I would hate to see sub 4000 crowds at Dens this season which is entirely possible.

Sadly Mr S., the lower the crowds fall the higher the ticket prices may become.

Whilst we don't necessarily need a good start to appease the punters, it certainly helps.  We have already seen the signs based on the last 2 games that we remain a demanding bunch despite only being 3 competitive games in, undefeated and no goals conceded.
