    Can people remeber standing on the old crumbling kop in the 70's with crowds bearly pushing 2000. I can.
    15000 fans at £150 is the same income as 8000 at £300.The difference is the benefits of more match day income from kiosk sales , replica kits etc and better commercial deals.
    Yes i am well aware that the football club is a business, but it is not a normal one. If you don't like the product's at Asda , you go to Morrisons, Sainsbury's etc. If you dont like the football , you dont move to Leeds etc you suffer or you stay at home.
    I am not against a raise in ticket prices , this is not the time. I was just suggesting that ,we the fans have a bigger role to play than just buying cheap tickets and attending on a match day or not!
    It was Dundee utd fans who have given the club 2 -£100,000 donations in the past 12 months.

    I lose sleep over the money we're not raising to support a multi millionaire in his pursuit of his missing investment.

    Raise ticket prices exponentially immediately.

    We've not had ST's for a couple of years after the kids got bored. I would pay more if I could see real improvement in the team and business strategy. This would include commited ownership, plans to buy ground, new improved training facilities and better catering etc.

    I think it's really sad the game is off today.

    In all seriousness, we’ve got a real challenge coming up. If the season isn’t extended, we’re gonna be playing a game every 4 days until the end of the season, and thats assuming we have no more postponements. It’ll be a test of the squad and of T&S, which is good really. We need the hardest test possible to make the right decisions for next season.

    Agree, and that's even without Rowe back in the starting line up - I'm not even sure he'll be on the bench.

    It would be a test for the most experienced of managers never mind a couple of rookies. Get through this period well and there should be no doubts at all that they deserve the job permanently, if they want it.

    Probably the 16th March, the only other is 27th April, otherwise it is more than two games a week.

    I think someone should tell Aldi and Lidl to get those prices up they are taking to much business from the big four supermarkets

    As far as I can see from City’s perspective, the two dates I identified are the only mid week slots that are free. Running out of .......runway as the pilots smile!

    Pound and charity shops only thriving at the moment?

    https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/results/christmas-trading-how-do-all-the-supermarket-performances-measure-up/652337.article

    Some impressive trading there, just over the Christmas period.

    Anyhow, we've both gone collectively on a tangent.

    We all want value but you get what you pay for.

    The comparison between lower league football and supermarkets is an interesting one. The latter is incredibly competitive not just on price but on quality and customer service. The Aldis and Lidls are known for their cheap prices but they go hand-in-hand with lower customer service and arguably lower product quality or certainly less choice. M&S and Waitrose are at the other end of the scale with a reputation for better quality food and customer service but with a higher price tag. Shoppers are rightly entitled to make a choice from the various alternatives which fits their preferences.

    The comparison with lower league football for some fans is that they expect to pay Aldi prices for M&S customer service and Waitrose product quality. And that combination isn't on offer. If we all want better quality on the pitch and better infrastructure quality, somebody has to pay for it and that should be the customer or the fans as we choose to call them.
