il cattivo Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 its a shared gate. if you don't like it,don't go. "you never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you.

But that is just the problem - many might not who would have been tempted at £15. That sounds like lose-lose to me.

No need. Thay now have fancy computerised turnstiles - the attendance will be cumulatively displayed on their big screen, no doubt, so you can watch the crowd grow by the minute.

That sounds like lose-lose to me. Agree BSJ. 20 quid including a pie and a pint might have been a good idea. It's a friendly that usually involves 20 plus players being constantly swapped and changed. If it's poor weather that extra fiver will encourage most to stay away.

ernieone Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Perhaps not all the blame should be put put on Batley, this match both clubs have to agree what the admission prices are, cannot remember any complaints last year when normal charges were in operation. Perhaps my mind is playing tricks but I cannot remember admission charges ever being relaxed on Boxing Day. Rightly or wrongly I am sure that both clubs see Boxing Day as a money earner so why not charge £20. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackroman Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Personally I think it's a bit steep for a family of 5 on Boxing Day. I went to see England v New Zealand for £55 for the whole family! Admittedly we got hammered but that's not the point as my 2 boys are really into RL now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As support slowly dwindles Ernie, you can't keep sucking more blood from the bodies that remain though, can you? People will say that it is the Boxing Day match, always draws a good crowd, no need to do anything special. Or might they say "let's promote it as a great family day out after the excesses of Christmas; offer special prices/packages, get lots of folk along and sell them extra stuff when they are here"? Nah! Same old, same old has always been good enough for RL. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

RogerT Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 No Batley are not desperate, as said it's a shared gate, so part of your £20 goes to the dark side of the valley, and it's been a few years since Batley put the prices up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos folk won’t go. £20 is a joke for a touch and pass’s game with 47 players all getting a run out. We charged enough last time and I moaned about that, but def not paying £20. Suspect three from our house not going so that’s a few bob gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_T Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Your all complaining online so must have internet access, you can order advance tickets for £18/£13 that's £1 more than it cost to sit at the Rams last season. For that you get to relieve the cabin fever with 2hrs of fresh air, support your new players vocally and your club financially, have access to some competativley priced home cooked food and beer. If you Rams fans turn your jeans up and flash your lovely new Mr Grumpy socks I'll be able to identify you and I'll buy you a pint. Our best bet is to reduce prices for our 5th game of the season when everyone is fed up, no point doing it now when fans will turn up out of tradition or we both lose out.

Kelsey The Ram 97 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I put this on facebook, posted it on the supporters group. I understand that £20 is terrible for a friendly but if your planning on boycotting then boycott the league game at their place, it's a shared gate boxing day so let's drum up as much money for the club as possible, let's be honest we need it.
