12.50 ! Early bird

Re: Friendlies : Thu Dec 12, 2019 7:25 pm  

13.56 actually, you need to pay a booking fee if I read it properly.
£1.06 fee!
Same with £15 ticket if bought on line there is a fee on top

Re: Friendlies : Sat Dec 14, 2019 10:41 am  

Hardly a great deal of money to pay £15 for an afternoons entertainment

Re: Friendlies : Sat Dec 14, 2019 12:14 pm  

Beds, I ain't actually complaining, £15 is fine in my eyes, you dont get anything for nothing. It was a link back to the comment about cov charging the same for the game against them at there place.

Can someone please explain to me why we no longer play pre season friendlies at home.
It strikes me as a good way to draw people in, perhaps sell a few season tickets and certainly flog a few shirts.
All these away friendlies seem to me to be an opportunity missed.

Perhaps other teams do not want to play on the artificial surface ?

Re: Friendlies : Fri Dec 27, 2019 7:24 pm  

I’m not sure anyone has a point about other teams charging £15 for a friendly when Broncos want £25 for a league game. That’s excessive and won’t win any fans.

Re: Friendlies : Sat Dec 28, 2019 10:28 am  

Maybe likes of hull dont want the hassle of travel down to london for a friendly. Might have something to do with logistics of ealing as well.

As for ticket price, it's the highest in the league I think, leigh charge 22 for better seats.
But you dont get owt for nowt in this world

The same reason other clubs such as Hull FC don't play home friendlies, it costs too much to rent the stadium for a game that won't bring any money in.

That's why Hull v London is at a local Union club, it costs £30k to rent the KCOM for a game and then you have match day running costs on top.
