Not in the slightest, it's their traditional average position, top half 4th div, bottom half 3rd. 2 years in the Prem seem to have skewed EVERYONE'S view of them. Until fairly recently (60s 70s) they weren't even the biggest club in Bradford. Grew up with an hatred of Bradford city even more than Leeds , but I’ve always felt their fan base is similar to ours. It’s all opinions but to me they have a fan base too big for that division. I just remember when I was growing up they weren't even a blip on my radar, although I didn't take any notice of attendances back then (still don't to an extent) and I'd always heard more about BPA so that may be the reason. Until they got to the Prem I always considered them to be more rivals of Fax than us. Didn't even dislike them til my uncle got attacked by Ointment when he was with his (at the time) 8 year old daughter. |

Me too. Leeds never came into the equation until we started playing them again in 2007. My dislike of L***s was drummed into me by my uncles who despised them with a passion so I hated them by osmosis  |

Me too. Leeds never came into the equation until we started playing them again in 2007. My dislike of L***s was drummed into me by my uncles who despised them with a passion so I hated them by osmosis I think it's generational, and I think because we've not played them in the league for 17 years, it's kind of been forgotten. There's a whole generation or two of fans that'll never have seen us play Bradford. It was similar for me with Leeds. We didn't play Leeds United in the league for something like 20 years, and in that 20 years we'd played Bradford quite a number of times. My Dad has always hated Bradford, as he's of that era when we played them regularly (and usually beat them). I'll be honest, I've never really been that bothered about Leeds apart from that period of around 2007 to 2012 when we always played them (and beat them), but now I couldn't really care less either way. Bradford however, I hope they get relegated to the Unibond. I find it unbelievable when I hear Town fans wishing them well or saying that they want them to do well. Disgraceful! |

For me a small price rise would be alright so long as the kids tickets stay low to help bring in the next generation of fans and there's lower pricing for the Terriers together lower stand for those who are struggling

Christ im agreeing with you now and you're still not happy!! Take the play off revenue away..is our match day income 'what you'd expect' for the 16th best supported club at this level..that was the claim. Well no, its not or anything like it. I’m not happy because you’re bloody hard work, Slapps. I provided links to Blackburn’s and Coventry’s accounts earlier in the thread, both of which show lower matchday revenue than Town for 2021/22 at £3.4 million and £4.3 million, respectively. Same goes for Preston at £3.0 million. So, even adjusted for our playoff run, matchday revenue, including revenue for season cards, seems to be one of the areas where we do quite well in relative terms. Bottom line: There’s little evidence in black and white to support the claim that our season card revenue is significantly lower than the clubs around us, despite cheaper prices — quite the opposite. There’s also little evidence to suggest that we *must* increase our prices to catch up — an assumption that has been repeated over and over with a vague reference to business principles, not actual figures. In fact, we seem to have stumbled upon quite an effective strategy to maximise our matchday revenue — revenue that is by no means guaranteed to rise or even stay the same if the strategy itself is abandoned. It’s almost like some people are making a weird moral case for higher prices regardless of the fact that they don’t necessarily deliver higher revenue or higher revenue that justifies the downsides. *We should pay more because everyone else does*. It’s not a good argument. Everyone says that Huddersfield isn’t a special case, but why not? Sometimes you don’t need to do what everyone else is doing. Sometimes everyone else needs to do what you’re doing. I think this is a good example — as Dean Hoyle always said. Lower pricing, higher volume, decent revenue, great atmosphere, positive vibes. Im hard work!?! Right back at you mate!! Maybe we should wait for last seasons figures when we didn't get to the play offs and see if they still look ok? Get a clearer picture? But if you can explain to me how we can have fewer fans at games than Bristol and charge them much, much less then Bristol do....yet still make the same money, then Im all ears. If we can, then fuck me, we have stumbled on a truly fantastic strategy, never mind an effective one!!..Or Bristol have stumbled onto a brilliant accountant! |

I'll let someone else do the commercial revenue version, which has us in the relegation zone. If we are now saying that the 2021/22 figures are out due the Plays Offs then you have to go back to 2020 to look (as 2021 was effected by COVID) and it shows Match Day Income £4,066,178 That will have been slightly reduced as no walk ups from March when football stopped/stopped having fans attending, but given our walk ups are low I don't think it would effect it a great deal. I've not got time to compare all clubs from that period but going against the list posted above it puts us higher than a few clubs. Again, further evidence that having higher prices doesn't guarantee higher income. |

WBA ..bigger crowds by 1700..their early bird prices that season were Adults ranging from £329 to £429,,,seniors from £269 to £339... www.wba.co.uk/news/early-bird-season-ticket-prices-frozen-and-sale-nowyet somehow they made less match day revenue than we did with our smaller gates and much lower prices.? Its an accounting miracle. |

Could it be we have more “corporate box and hospitality” income? Those are also part of the match day income I would have thought?

The money earned from match days includes ticket sales, merchandise sales, and food and drink sales from the catering & hospitality sector. So yeah, some will be the hospitality, but a lot will be stuff bought by fans when at the stadium. Another argument for keeping prices low and getting as many people through the door as possible I'd say. |

Just received an email from Sutton United. Early bird renewals for ground admission (standing) ST is £299. Concession age has been moved from 60 to 61. I haven’t checked what renewal of my ST (seated concession) would be as I’ll only renew if SU survive demotion to the NL. Any child under 14 free provided accompanied by a purchased adult or concession ticket.

As a rider to my post I could add the fact that I have just sold my LP collection{All rock and metal} for £750,they are probably worth a lot more,but needs must.I don,t consider myself in poverty either but My savings have dwindled 50% this year and I worry for my much younger wife if owt should happen to me. Wish I could have had a rummage Edit: my old man has still got his Beatles vinyls from when he was a kid/teen/20s. Along with Bolan, T-Rex, Quo and others I bet his collection is worth a mint. Included in my collection was No Mean City-Nazareth. I have seen a special edition of this online @ £96,another I had was Uriah Heep,s Look at yourself complete with mirror insert ( a lot don,t have this} given to me by keyboards man Ken Hensley when a ran a pub in Stevenage,that could be worth a bob or two as well. |

I’d say raise prices by £100 whilst being relegated to League 1 and around a third will simply drop off, we’ll be down to a half full ground again with very little atmosphere. It’ll be like going back circa 15 years. It’s then a huge job to get us out of that league and get the stay away fans back again, huge.

Without relegation, season after next season is going to be a bigger sell, when the reality of next seasons changes to the Football League are understood by fans…the clubs seem to be keeping quiet about the agreement to pull back almost a half of Saturday 3pm fixtures into a 12:30KO slot. It will destroy football as a live spectacle, and makes the sporadic conversations in this thread about away clubs getting the full South Stand laughable, for half the games we’ll be lucky to see more than 500 away fans… …Stoke as one example have often brought decent following, but how many would travel up here as an away fan and be at the ground pretty much before pubs have opened? It simply isn’t going to happen when you can watch on TV. Just thinking about what it means to me as a home fan this change is the most significant factor in my decision making in terms of the value I attach to next season. I do stuff on Saturday mornings, it’s a pain to get home and then get into Hudds for a home game to meet friends for even a quick drink before a 1230KO…the personal value I attach to a season of football is REDUCED to me from 24/25…any kind of increase in the cost is going to make renewal or not an interesting decision. |

Wow I never realised that. Just looked into it on efl.com/news/2023/may/efl-and-sky-sports-broadcast-rights-agreement/ - the changes take effect fro next season by the sound of it. “In the current agreement, roughly 13% of EFL matches are shown by Sky Sports, whereas in the new deal, approximately 56% will be shown. Each League weekend fixture round will see 10 live EFL fixtures shown. Five matches will take centre stage in the Sky Bet Championship and fans in Sky Bet League One and League Two will benefit from greater coverage than ever before with five games being broadcast live. The blocked period between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturdays will remain. This means there will be seven 3pm games in the Championship, and 19 x 3pm games in League One and Two combined, which will not be broadcast each weekend” Absolute disgrace, 12.30 kick offs are shite. Hopefully the decision will get reversed after a big fan backlash but I highly doubt it as money talks unfortunately |

Sky and the EFL and clubs to a certain extent are not bothered about kick off times, their target audience are people who watch on TV not us who turn up! They can always generate a virtual crowd to make the ground look full. As for Season Tickets I’ll renew whatever, mainly because it’s also a social day out.

So the season after next theres going to be no relegation, or have i misinterpreted it. You've misinterpreted it. I should have added the word “even” at the start…I meant, even if we don't get relegated, then the season after next becomes the hard sell....and actually this coming season would be a hard sell but most football fans won't really be aware of the reality of the changes until we're well in next season when those who might work or have stuff they do on Saturday mornings suddenly find we're three months into the season and they've managed to get to one home game when you throw in international breaks etc. I'd pay an extra £50 without hesitation for a repeat of this seasons format...but an extra £50 and 40-50% of Saturday games moved away from the 3pm slot and I'm thinking I might as well just pay on the gate at ~10 homes games a season...which realistically quickly heads towards 5 games a season which becomes 0 games a season, I have plenty of interests that could soak up the time. |

The EFL invited the tender, they could have negotiated a different set of rules with Sky or any other broadcaster in terms of number of games moved if they wanted to (as the tender wasn't for a specific package or number of games). Also it hasn't been pushed through on the sly, it was announced nearly a year ago and the clubs voted for it. Sky didn't force it through, the EFL didn't force it through (they presented a recommendation to the clubs, which the clubs could have voted to reject, but didn't). |

Price doesn’t matter that much. My decision is we go down I will definitely renew. Be nice to see us win a few more games, but then history says we could still go down.
We stay up I will dread another season of struggling against relegation and not being able to beat the teams who are also struggling, say to myself I’m not renewing then at last minute renew.
Never been over optimistic where town are concerned but still a bit of weekly pain and torture makes me realise that my life isn’t that bad and things could be worse
As to finances of club premier league clubs spend more on agents fees than supporting the lower tiers says all you need to know about football finances. The rot started when the clubs with bigger gates no longer had to split the money with the smaller clubs. As a consequence fewer and fewer clubs outside the huge clubs have much hope of really winning anything. I remember Villa getting 40000 every week in division 3. Man United relegated. Liverpool in division 2. Spurs and West Ham, relegations. Chelsea too unlikely to happen nowadays.

The EFL invited the tender, they could have negotiated a different set of rules with Sky or any other broadcaster in terms of number of games moved if they wanted to (as the tender wasn't for a specific package or number of games). Also it hasn't been pushed through on the sly, it was announced nearly a year ago and the clubs voted for it. Sky didn't force it through, the EFL didn't force it through (they presented a recommendation to the clubs, which the clubs could have voted to reject, but didn't). It's the 1st time i have heard of this new deal, it's just the way the modern game is going they don't seem to care that the attendee fan has to plan to attend the games and have other commitments, this will probably drop renewals for all clubs by a few numbers unfortunately. I hate the 12:30 kick offs and Sunday games, Sunday is or was rugby day!!, Footie is a 3pm Saturday game with the splatter of midweek games on a freezing cold night under the lights!!. The good old days are long behind us and football and rugby fans are controlled by the TV companies and unfortunately dont know whether they are coming or going, money is tight enough without forking out a large ammount out for an item you pay for and may not be able to use through no fault of your own. |

So, is there any indication of when we’re likely to see the prices released?
I’ve not got the patience to compare to previous seasons release dates, but it feels like it’s later than previous seasons?
My guess is they’re needing to see some feelgood factor from AB, which feels like a risky policy right now.

I very much doubt we will release any ticket prices for next season without a positive result or two, if we beat Stoke or Coventry then I think we might see these during next week. I am also hearing the pricing will be the same for Championship or L1 football so its now just about timing it correctly to try and get some early purchases, Kevin is also over during this week so maybe he wants to be here to annouce this together or after announcing some other positive news. |

looking back at the original poll and it does appear the majority who have voted will accept an increase and broadly somewhere in the £300 - £350 mark with many wanting a tiered pricing structure depending on where the seat is.
37.8% = £300 - £370 with different tiers
31.1% = £300 fixed
15.56% = £350 fixed
Thats over 84% believing that this sort of pricing will be fair and correct for the ticket pricing (this was based on Championship football), so the louder voices on this thread are the ones that are in the minority and dont think an increase is fair and around 8.8% of the votes, whatever the club do some will not be happy however it does look like an increase will be accepted by the majority.

We are averaging 19,294 fans this season. That is 0.00932932517% of the fanbase. Do you ever not talk complete shit? |
