    There are 91 other clubs in Football. Their fans will be affected just the same. Ask the ordinary Chelsea working class fan how they can find the money?

    Aldi etc basically targeted middle/working people and sell cheaper alternatives to name brands and people have brought into that which is fine but the major supermarkets are now closing the gap because guess what?

    Those that count on being cheap always want cheaper and are now running off to Home Bargains & B & M and the real middle/working class people are seeing the Home Baragins etc but a lot of the penny pincher are in Home Bargains right now and a lot of the middle/working class are going back to the supermarkets & dipping into Aldi etc

    Tough.

    Bradford City like most businesses will be effected by the stupid decision of Brexit and Bradford City will have to pay more for things.

    So, like most businesses they should put the cost up for these and people will have to pay it.

    I'm not sure the likes of Aldi & Lidl agree with your comment @Fordy117@Fordy117 .

    Collins wasn't here when you were saying we'd be in L1 relegation battles under Parky. Try again.

    The average EU tariff on UK food imported from outside the EU is 22%.This is a tax that even the UK's poorest have to pay that is sent off for Brussels to play with. You can't vote to change this because the EU Commission are unelected. This tax gets abolished if we leave the EU under WTO rules and you can then vote for British politicians who decide whether or not to continue taxing the poor to benefit the rich in this way.

    City are better off with cheaper tickets and more bums on seats. Mark Lawn repeatedly said the not-ticket revenues that were proportional to attendance made it so. This season, we increased prices and saw attendances drop and matchday kiosks close. I can't believe that I'm reading that some fans want more of this.

    Tea drinkers not hard-core fans? It was mostly tea drinkers putting money into the club at this season's FA cup ties.

    Cheapest were £289 and Over-65s and Under-21s £145 Under-16 Band 5 Season Tickets were frozen at £99 for 2018/19
    Those are on a two year commitment, but can be bought in 4 or 10 installments.
    Most expensive are currently £1150 1966 club tickets

    With the recent increase in capacity they've issued 2,000 half season tickets @ £150 Adult and Under-16 @£50 -they sold out in 20 minutes

    I know that the Public sector staff get a london Weighting allowance E.g. https://www.unison.org.uk/content/uploads/2013/06/Briefings-and-CircularsLondon-Allowances3.pdf which can be up to 20% of the salary. But housing costs are far lower in the north and will nullify any actual cash benefit, those in London receive. So I guess it shows that those in London are prepared to put their hands in their pockets a little more for their love of Football!

    I see that Charlton pitched their tickets (for the poorer seats?) at £200 per season, for the same tier of Football https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/charlton/16155385.Charlton_raise_2018_19_season_ticket_prices/
    Whereas AFC Wimbledon range from £275 to £475!!! Yes I will type that again £475. https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/tickets/season-tickets/

    £285 was the lowest price in the PL 2017/18 excluding the one off Huddersfield £100 tickets.

    To be fair to a number of the teams you list e.g. Peterborough, Bury, they don't have the option of selling large numbers of season tickets at low prices to get a big crowd - their stadium capacity doesn't allow it. City are fortunate in this respect.

    Helped by the low rent that your board managed to negotiate.

    Can they come and negotiate with Gibb Pension Trustees when our lease is up?
