Worthing friendly

[Springal]

1) Is it pay on the gate?
2) If so, i assume its £11?

Going to be a last minute decision if i go [probably weather being the main factor.]

 

[Yorkie]

Yes unless you're a concession

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Why do clubs charge so much for friendlies these days?

I have 3 G'kids in Worthing and I'd like to take them to a game although there's a fair chance they'd be bored silly once they've had a burger or 2.

It wouldn't bother me if I had to leave at half time but not if I've forked out loads in admission.

It repays Worthing for the use of their ground for our reserve games.

its only a fiver for kids,cant blame worthing,its a chance to make a few bob

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

But does it? How many Albion fans will want to pay over a tenner for a training game and how many locals want to fork out what could be full price for a friendly?

Better to get the numbers in, especially the kids (who will want food & drink) in the hope that they'll get hooked and come back for more games.

Are you attending, Yorkie?

 

[empire]

a fiver for a child is nowt,not being funny but its a chance to see the whole squad in a nice family ground,you are close to the players and we dont normaly have friendlies at withdean(yes i know this year is different),and at the end of the day what does a fiver get you nowadays.

[Springal]

It is usually but you have to drink inside or just outside on the grass. Unlike Lewes you can't drink in view of the pitch.
It is £1 extra to go into the stand (and I'm not sure that bar is open)

Of course. We'll probably set off earlyish (12 maybe) and have a drink on the way.

Looking forward to it. I spent a few Saturdays when I was very young on the terraces at Nyewood lane

I was in DARTFORD recently and they are playing Crystal Palace, Peter Taylor being mnager of CP and ex Dartford manager, and the match is all ticket. Their new ground holds 4,000 and they had sold 2500 at £20 per ticket.
