Why is it a cheap shot? I think you were wrong to make the comment in the first place, you have withdrwan it, matter over.
I have shown elsewhere that STH were 2.5 times more likely to get a WH ticket than AMS, and had a 78% chance of getting a ticket for the match last week.
The club acknowledges that away fans have provided excellent VOCAL (and I appreciate that is not the same as direct financial) support to the team, and that is why they gave them some of the tickets.
The knee jerk reaction to the complaints led to the WH replay ticket fiasco. It merely proves the old adage that a decision made in a hurry is normally a bad decision.
I don't know what you mean about a family day out last week, surely there is nothing wrong with that, especially if we are to attract the missing 10,000 to Falmer.
As for focussing too much on Falmer, without it the club is dead, at present we are on a life support machine.
ST's are overpriced, match tickets are overpriced, and the dirctors have sunk £7million into the club that they are highly unlikely to see again, most of which has gone into the pockets of lawyers, consultants, transport companies and other parasites.
We are operating with a shoestring commercial and management department, and there is a limited amount that they can do, especially with the restrictions imposed by the council and in relation to the travel vouchers.
The club has made initiatives, kids for a quid has taken place twice this season to little effect, schools and kids clubs can get discounted tickets. Ultimately it is irrelevant whether the price is £23, £18 or £10, the floating fan is not going to watch third tier football in the pouring rain when there is only a 25% chance of a victory. And remember, we also now have Gully.....(perhaps not).
When the club tried to reduce prices for the Northwich game, the opposition threw a hissy fit and refused to allow that to take place. Contrst that to the Albion's approach to the match last week, where they could have put their foot down, as we would have sold our full allocation even at normal Premiership prices, but DK sacrificed some money to allow those on a tighter budget to afford a ticket.
