The club would have taken in more money from their 10k ST's than Bradford's 17k ST's.

We may rather bigger crowds for atmosphere but the club just look at the income.

People can make all the excuses they want, but our season ticket pricing is all wrong. May be true about the money, but look how many other clubs are starting to consider their fans more.

Our whole ground should be filled with kids at cheap rices,not just the boring family stand.

We hold 33,000

If Bradford can do it in the lower divisions,We can def do it in the Championship and we have a massive fan base :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

We haven't had a massive fan base since late fifties early sixties city base is around ten twelve thousand real fans with few thousand hangers on when things go well,crowds dwindled as TV coverage grew kids today want o watch top prem sides and can do so with ease a luxury we never had as kids.

We were the 13th best supported club in our year in the Premier League with 27,000 plus attendances despite being crap and if we ever got back would sell out our 33,000 stadium. We have a massive fan base, 6TH biggest population in England and Wales with half population of Wales 1.5 million in catchment area, bigger than Newcastle, Sunderland, Southampton etc and just behind Liverpool and Manchester who each have TWO established Premiership teams. All we need is a successful team like that little town down in the West who finished 8th even though they were nearer relegation then winning it?

Yes Annis £99 for a child although we charge £69. So in a way we are charging £30 more for the child.

However....a child need to be with an adult, expected to be the parent being the family club we are, who would pay £299 minimum adult price with us unlike at Bradford who would pay £169. That works out as £100 cheaper at Bradford.

Some people are so bitter they cannot see it.

Wayne, in my opinion City should of made it very cheap for kids anywhere in the ground with a paying Adult :ayatollah:

If we charged the same prices as Bradford we would get 20000 ticket holders in my opinion. Whilst this may not make as much money in the short term compared with our current price structure the long term benefits would be huge.

More people in the ground means greater match day revenues. Programmes, food and drink sales would increase as would car parking. Merchandising sales would rise and again create extra revenues. More importantly it would increase our fan base and make the club sustainable in the long term.

Sadly those in charge have little foresight.

What the club should do next season is reopen the upper ninian stand and use the 5000 capacity to give free tickets to schools across South and west wales. When a free ticket is given out if the person attends they should be given the option to buy a ticket at half price for the next game and maybe given a 10% voucher for club shop.

This is a great idea. When the club did this for Blackpool game I gave out loads to kids in my school and many went for the first time. Never had any negative feedback with many planning a returm this season. Plus many bought merchandise at shop.
What's the point in having a stand empty when it could be full of kids who could potentially become city fans over premier clubs.
