Bolton 1-0 Sheff United - Match Report Post #111

I'm going for a 2-1 home win. Spearing to score. Anything to be different

I think this will be our season!!

Sheffield Utd fans ( a lot of them anyway ) are boycotting Saturday's match with Bolton due to ticket prices, they have a twenty seven page thread on one of their forums.

They're only £30 a ticket 

They've sold out and boycotted at the same time

Hahahaha, is thirty quid too dear in this day and age?

I'm going on their forum telling them they're a bunch of cunts anyway.

For an hour and a half of shit football, yes.

Let's hope it's a good game!

 which i read somewhere is only a pound more expensive than they charge away fans, double standards anyone?

To be fair though, for a League 1 game costing 30 quid it is a rip-off.

I wonder how much they normally pay for an away game though.

They're really slagging Bolton off for charging them £30.

it is KP you're right but until more money makes it's way down the pyramid from the billions the Premier League gets then nothing will change i reckon

The thread on the boycott is here:

Cheeky bastards, we reduced the price for the lower tier to £28 which is £1 cheaper than they charge away fans for Cat A games. How the fuck can they justify the outrage when that's what they charge the hypocritical Yorkshire bastards, so it's OK for them to fleece others (and lets face it even at £28 it's still ridiculous for third tier football) but not for others to fleece them.
This is an old BN article on the subject.

It's still expensive for League 1, but needs must.
And anyway they've already bought their allocation and more so most Blades are willing to pay that price it would seem - but there's always some that will complain.

2 points:

• those claiming to be outraged by the price will fall into 2 camps IMO, those that moan and pay and come anyway, and those who moan but wouldn't come if it was half the price.
  
• If that's what they're charging for away fans at their stadium then the home fans must be paying the same, so that's what they're used to paying.
  

How do they justify their own prices and what they charge away fans, they are not making any sense.

Ref watch: Ross Joyce to take charge of Wanderers' League One opener

Ross Joyce will take charge of Wanderers’ opening 2016/17 Sky Bet League One fixture against Sheffield United at Macron Stadium.

The game will mark the first time the Cleveland based official has overseen a Whites match, having only overseen his first Football League fixture in February 2014.

Becoming a Football League regular last season, Mr Joyce was the man in the middle for 29 games last term, dishing out 106 yellow cards and six red cards.

Stephen Wade and Alix Pashley will run the line, while David Richardson is the fourth official.

It says here that category A games are £25 for away supporters. which is correct? Going off the BN's track record it's probably not them.
