How Do You Feel About The Club Effectively Abandoning Affordability?

No seat cleaning at Valley Parade mate.

 

Wasn't sure where to put this. It's related to EFL clubs' finances.

so if passed and agreed Championship clubs would get over £3m each and L1 just £500k

 

Are Man City complaining because their fine is going to fund it?

 

Man City should be relegated for all those breaches of the rules
See how they feel about £3 million as opposed to £100+ million

 

Looks like PL passed the deal unanimously so now they will make the offer the to EFL and see if it is acceptable.

 

It’s affordable if you pay monthly

 

Which bit? The season ticket, the mascot package, the flag waving package or one of the other things talked about?

 

the Sheffield Wednesday ticket thread is next door Silver

 

Just when city fans were raising concerns around the cost of following football clubs by highlighting Sheffield weds ripping us off, along come city and release another set of training wear including £46 t-shirts and £80 hoodies

 

When I first saw the players with them on they looked decent and was thinking of purchasing a hoodie, but not at £80. That's taking the piss.

 

Same.

I'll wait until the end of the season and buy at half-price.

 

Sparks said words to the effect of its premium gear, and the club want the players to wear and travel in the best quality stuff. That’s fair enough, but obviously it comes at a cost to fans. I’ve bought training tops for the last few seasons and I’ll be doing the same again.

 

SparkSy selling the dream. They're hoodies and t-shirts made in sweat shops, this ain't a a savile row suit we're talking about. I've no problem with anyone spending their hard earned on whatever they please though.

 

He would do wouldnt he, they're sat on a bus for two hours wearing a £30 hoodie over an £80 is going to make no difference whatsoever

 

Just bought tickets for the Rochdale game, the prices at face value are fine, but every transaction incurring £1.75 for what is essentially the e-mail of a barcode is a joke. Same for the friendly game. Those £3.50 for two or £7.00 for a family of four soon rack up over time.

 

I got my daughter a mascot package back in 2022. The price at the time was £50. Which included stadium tour, greet the players, lunch, and everything else you would expect. Adults got to stay in the McCall's suite whilst this happened (which is about £20 upgrade anyhow).

I see the current prices in 2026 are £200 when booked online.

SECURE A MASCOT PACKAGE AT MBANQ VALLEY PARADE - Bradford City AFC

£50 in 2022 to £200 in 2026 is absolutely insane, and there is nothing extra too it now than there was back in 2022. Infact the package reads exactly the same except for the extra £50 you can opt to pay for a kit to wear taking the price up to £250.

We should never cash in on the young, Richmond got me hooked with the pound a game and £19 season ticket. You reap the rewards later. £200+ for a mascot package is an absolute disgrace.

 

Wonder if it will still be as full as last year when it seemed to be sold out for most Saturday games
