Fans Selection Panel

[Spike]

Not wanting to upset the powers that be but I wonder what they would think if we had a fans selection panel each week to decide how many would, might, and would not go to a game and for what reasons... Lets imagine we set the bench mark...

Why would you go or not go...?

Lack of transfers, opposition not big enough, lost 3 so interest has gone, opposition very big but too expensive, too far away for a night game and I have work, you see dead people? (Sorry, memories of NCFC pre-season friendly loss)

I think it would be fun to have a vote on thre pro's and cons of going to games.

I don't see why anyone would be offended

For me it's generally just a case of logistics and cashflow. I tend to bend these considerations more if it's one of the increasingly few grounds I've not been to before.

Interesting would be if (without admitting it) Forest tailored the prices with the results of this in mind, and not just the apparent stature of the opposition...

[I think it was Cardiff (spits) a few years ago who had a league-position-based ticket price system... for the sake of simplicity: Cost of match ticket = ( £30 - league position ).

You're 1st, tickets are £29. You're bottom, tickets are six quid..... This was a good thing.... ]

Tickets for Ipswich are ridiculously expensive, £28-£30 for one of the worst sides in the league and not even a particularly big club either.

how did that work for season tickets though?
surely a ST had to be equal or below the price of the minimun that a fan cud of paid aka it qwud of had to work out like 5 a ticket per game for st holders wudnt it?

second to last home game of the season, and i would call ipswich a rather large club, much like forest but without such an astronomical high. Had european success in the 70s, won the league FA cup and were a well established top division side (mostly).

I don't know why but these sorts of fixtures i.e sheff wed, ipswich against teams with a big rep seem to bring alot of people down as their is some sort of friendly atmosphere about it aswell. Along with it being the penultimate away game of the season i would strongly expect it to be a sell-out.

Was about £35 at their place too.

My Ipswich supporting friend regularly moans about their pricing structure! I wouldn't class Ipswich as being particularly big; not particularly well supported in an area where there are very few league clubs and have not been a top flight side throughout most of their history.

Ipswich attract quite a high % of their local populace (or used to), so demand being as it is, it enables them to maintain high pricing.

They have a real monopoly on local sporting events in the region. Says it all that Norwich are their fiercest local rivals when the two places are a fair distance apart ...
