Thought them crowd was passionate today and quite vocal, looked much more than the last home game as fans returned.f**k the glory hunters just add to the shit atmosphere.

As for the season ticket increase its minimal so don't think it will affect people.

The "walk up" supporters yesterday, would have had to pay in excess of £30. f*cking scandalous, we are in the Championship not the Champions league. Also when those who've had the luxury of the price freeze, start paying the proper prices they'll have an eye opener.

From watching Ken Choo speak about the prices in his press conference, he talked about bridging the gap. His body language and use of his hands showing where the two prices are now seemed to suggest to me it would be meet in the middle stuff.

I hav'nt seen any quote from the club of this "minimal" increase. Im not sure where people have got this from? Do you have a link for it?

In tans statement he only stated that both prices would be "adjusted accordingly to match eachother"

I would say about 10-12 people in my relatively small office were put off straight away by the cheapest ticket available to them of £28. None of these people ended up buying a ticket.

This was a deciding factor over the attendance yesterday. It would have probably have been back to premier league size other wise.

We cannot expect large attendences every week when the quality of football is lacking no matter what colour we play in.


My mate got me a ticket in the am, I couldn't believe it was £35. Aswell my wife didn't know as she would have gone nuts me spending that just after Xmas. Such a rip off for champ football and no doubt put many off

I haven't been for 2 and a half years and was quite shocked how quite it was actually. I was at the back between the canton and ninian. There was a group by there having a go at our own support constantly they the game saying how crap it was. My ST holder mate said they haven't been all season, prob not for years by the look of them and what they were singing.

In all fairness is was stated on a Friday afternoon and people already had their plans on the weekend. Many people are quoting the next home game as their first game back
