For the first time ever I refused to pay the entrance fee

[Curryisgreat]

As above

POTG was 39 quid.
Easy decision for me as I only came from Shipley - One stop on the train from Leeds. But to pay £39 to another club for second tier football is obsence.

Whilst I feel vindicated by my stand, despite the 2 mile walk back into Leeds by my two mile walk back into Leeds, I can't help but smile at the result!

Come on you super seagulls.

 

[The Wookiee]

Do you go to home games ?

If not and this was your one chance to see The Albion, as they were playing on your doorstep, I find it a bit odd that you wouldn't pay the extra to get in

 

[sir albion]

Surely £39 isn't an issue for a local game?would you rather fork out for trains or fuel that will cost a lot more for other games?
Very odd but fairplay

 

[WhingForPresident]

Be fair, they are a MASSIVE club.

 

[Curryisgreat]

I generally go to between 5 and 14 game a season (based on the past 15 years) but why should I pay 29 quid into the coffers of a club I despise to watch the Albion?

I realize the once fuel/train costs are taken into account it's still possibly the cheapest game for me, but why pay 39 quid into Leeds coffers for the privilege?

Does that mean it was 4 miles?

 

[TottonSeagull]

What a muppet, did you not think to check before you left? What would have been your max payment? I agree it's a silly amount but if I had bothered to get to the ground I would have paid it!

Touche. I am very drunk now!

Once a season and its your home game!!!
Still its your choice and what matters is we won

Regardless that it's the club you support visiting you locally, that is some high price to pay. Some people find it hard to justify that amount out of a weekly wage or salary, to spend on an entrance fee. More kudos for the travelling supporters from Brighton/Sussex then!

Show some respect...you don't even know the bloke and you've called him a muppet

ac
Indeed. I've not missed a match at Elland Road since 2006, but to pay 39 quid to LEEDS! I decided to take a stand and go back to the pub.

I'm still sooo pleased by the win though!

Me and my girlfriend paid £40 each plus the booking fee as we picked up plus the bus and train fare = £97 for the Wednesday home game and you turned around at the turnstiles? You must of known the price.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

£39 is a ridiculous sum to watch 90 minutes of football, whatever the standard.

Typical responses from Neanderthal football fans. The same people who blindly pay obscene prices in the name of "loyalty", in their low/middle income jobs, while second tier professional footballers become millionaires for a few hours work a week

But hey ho, this is the Britain in 2014 that you lads want.

Good for you mate

I did. It was £34, which I though was pricey enough but they jacked an extra £5 onto the POTG price. At this point I said balls to that, which I appreciate was an easy decision given the short distance traveled.

Thank you Sir. I never thought it would come to this, but it has.

Adding another £5 on the gate is naughty and you have principles and self pride so don't blame you for walking. I'd have done the same out of principle.

You must have money to burn then, hope your salary provides for you in your old age as you spend your pension funds...
Good on you if you can afford it though.

 

[EddieReader]

Respect to you. Over the top price, no wonder Leeds struggle to get over 23,000.
