£6 to get in

[Eastside Urchin]

at tilbury tonight when it was only £5 to watch sunderland v arsenal

surely something is wrong there,and it was a competition that we have already qualified for the next round

and to think we have to go back there twice this season

to think we was only charging £6.50 for conf south matches last season,seems the nearer you get to canvey the more chance you have of getting ripped off <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes, but the programme (£1.00 cover price) was free!

 

so what they did was make a programme purchase compulsory.

 

i also bought a fiver's worth of raffle tickets as i'd been made to feel so guilty about not having any change.

 

i then asked what the prize was and he said. no joke...

 

"erm, i don't know, we'll think of something"

 

did anyone see or hear of a raffle drawn? wtf?!!?!?!?!!!

[Eastside Urchin]

thieving b*stards,definatly going to bunk it over next time!!

[Dagger03]

The £6 charge included the programme, which had a £1 price on the cover.

 

What I do think is unreasonable is that HFC and Tilbury now have to play again in the next round, and that is totally farcical.

[and1inthetree]

so they made a progamme purchase compulsory then...

 

it's an idea i suppose.

 

i've vented my feelings about the draw elsewhere, so won't go into it.

 

but... about that bloody raffle...

[Junior Pirate]

Went over to Basildon last week to watch Bowers reserves and they charged a fiver for the ressies with no programme thats taking the pi**

[Eastside Urchin]

i don't always buy a programme though,why should you be made to "buy a programme"

some people even got charged £4 as adults because they didn't know what to charge at times!!

but when i asked one of the blokes they said "it is £6,its £4 for adults in reserve team matches"

now that is a complete rip off!!

[and1inthetree]

now that is taking taking the pish...

[Eastside Urchin]

no wonder half of these teams don't have any home fans,do you think some of these chairman running the clubs are a bit simple!!

Yes the raffle was drawn at half time in the boardroom. The winning numbers were announced as the teams were coming out for the second half.

[and1inthetree]

well that would explain it then... i just missed the kick off due to playing kick ups with a ball which flew out of the ground on my way out of the bar.

 

you don't happen to remember the numbers do you? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Nette]

I picked my own out 411, so they drew another one, cos I was ceating <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> the number was 490 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[and1inthetree]

well that's a relief - not only can i throw these tickets away, but if i'd have won, that would have meant returning to tilbury... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bigshock.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

I paid 6 quid to get in (with a free complimentary proggie)...as did tony middleston in front of me...the two people after me were charged 4 quid which I thought was a bit odd...

 

perhaps they charged us 6 quid and their own six fans 4 quid.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

these people struggle to run these clubs money wise and get stuck in the 'low fanbase get as much as you can on the gates mentality'...they should try letting the peoples in free everynow and again and get the No's up...

 

that reminds me as well...the NTRBD admission fee is a one off 75 quid but the programme and the 'Not The Real Raffle Tickets' are free...... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

another way at looking at this, is if you are moaning about the price, dont go or wait till it comes on the television or wait outside the ground and listen to the game <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but I expect you wont find this funny will you <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

I think that you should expect that we find very little of your ramblings funny... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

but carry on if it pleases you... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

[zody]

but you didnt answer my question again <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Uncle Urchin]

the only question that you asked was if we found your post funny

 

and I answered it did I not..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[zody]

ok, ask it againit is early for you oldie, ' if you are moaning about the price'

[and1inthetree]

you cretin.

 

'if' is not a question you imbecile.

 

perhaps you should go back to school with the kids you train.
