Chesham Utd (a) - 3rd August

[GarySTFC]

Admission prices for the game on Tuesday night are as follows:

 

£8 Adults, £5 concessions and £2 Children under 16.

[Tom]

£8 for a friendly, that's mental.

[Matt]

I was considering going but that's put me off.

[epicrebel]

£8 They having a Laugh Count me out tooo!!!!!

[Sue]

Nor me, doubt Phil or Aidan will go either at that price, absolutely ridiculous, getting fed up of being ripped off!!!

[Mr Rebel]

its defo a no show from me too

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Intresting to see that no one from Chesham has had the front to justify there "full" price for a friendly - Windsor Rebels' post from lunchtime today remains unanswered!

 

With this and the Romulous rip off from last year, there will be some teams who will miss out on any Slough income rather than a "fair" income from sensible prices.

 

The alternative is for Slough to up the prices for certain teams visits!? not that any of them bring more than a handfull!

Hi Staines Rebel, At least we aren't charging the new 2010 PREMIERSHIP prices :-) I think that the game tomorrow night will be the most competitive friendly you will see, as I can't see bates wanting to lose 5 on the bounce to Chesham ;-)

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

CheshFan - If the price is so reasonable, how will we recognise you and which gate will I and the other Slough fans meet you at, so that you can pay for us to get in?

[GarySTFC]

Just spoken with Chesham who have revised their prices to £6 / £4 / £2 for tomorrow night.

[Chris]

Power to the people!!!

 

 

[CheshFan]

Will happily meet you in the bar to talk about why you think we won't make it slough nil chesham 5 before the game :-)

 

Just pop into the chess suite and ask for George

[Sue]

Too late now, still not going, they were obviously trying it on, otherwise why reduce it to £6!!

 

 

 

[Reading Rebel]

OK, Chesham were doing a bit of profiteering but fair play to them, they have listened and have now reduced the price.

 

Chesham are not alone in doing this, look at Holyport, a regular pre-season fixture for us, who are below us in the pyramid and charge £5.

 

IMO, If it's a real big issue to the point where it stops some of us attending games on a point of principle, perhaps, as a suggestion, when these games are arranged the cost of entry is discussed and agreed at that point so we know where we stand and hopefully cut out any future conflict and accusations of profiteering.

 

I will be going tonight, mainly because Chesham have listened but also because it should be a good game to watch for all the obvious reasons.

[Windsor Rebel]

Looks like my post on their forum did the trick then,or we could have ended up with the Romulus situation again.

Reading Rebel: you should be grateful you have me to help, check the tea prices though.

I suppose there's more than one way to skin a cat!

Hi There,

 

Chesham Webmaster & Moderator here,

 

The post was not seen on the Forum until 6.15pm when the moderated 1st posts were released. I then made the Board aware of the upset and the 2 Match Secretaries had a conversation.

 

Hope to see some of you at the Meadow this evening for what should be a very entertaining game

[Windsor Rebel]

Thank you CheshFan, I will be in attendance.

[Sue]

Sorry RR how the hell can you say "Ok Chesham were doing a bit of profiteering but fair play to them at least they have lowered the prices", that is absolutely ridiculous this shouldnt have happened in the first place!!!!

 

£3 is more than enough for a friendly, £5 at the most, to consider charging £8 is not on at all, I am sorry but I am really cross about this!

 

And as for the Holyport game charging £5, they have shot themselves in the foot as well, as there are a lot of us who wont be going there next year again either.

 

 

[staines_rebel_Jr]

Farnborough V Wycombe SCUM was £12 and the scum demanded half the gate money - therefore only 300 turned up (Farnborough's usual gate is 800-900). Message in there some where!
