I don't know if children still do paper rounds but given the youth price for the lower south stand is still over 30 quid a game they'd need to be getting over £80 a week for it to maintain the ratio Previous Message
the games are dictated by the telly. the telly money is the biggest earner. its all a money merry go round.
if I was to take my two the cheapest seats would be about 200 quid or so.
if i said to my kids what do oyu want to do theyd rather go smyths with 100 quid each. its certainly priced us out. in my very early teens I used to bunk in and would sometimes have to pay out of my paperround money. that was 7 quid a week. the rise in prices is heavy. too heavy for me. I've been lucky to go to matches because people have had spares no way i would have been ab le to consider it. Previous Message
But given the lack of Saturday KO's, especially with the amount of Monday nights we've had, i would only have been able to make 4 or 5 home games. Previous Message
It will be interesting to see how many seat move options are open in the coming days before they open up to potential new season ticket holders. I'd imagine quite a few won't renew having done the transition.
Memberships, ballots, seat unique mark-ups, ballache with transfer, the fact it costs more to watch Everton than the ghastly neighbours despite being served up shite for years? It's a tough sell.
It's a problem throughout the league. I'm not sure a coordinated, mhlti-club protest is remotely possible, it's hard enough getting one off the ground for a single club.
