[Urchin_fanatic]

 

Same here geez !!!

[Eastside Urchin]

i tried but the bloke said

"your never under 16"

which i replied "i suppose not but it beats paying £6 in this dump"

still,got away with it twice so far this season!!!

[CraigDavid]

always worth a go mate!!

[Eastside Urchin]

i just wonder if there normal prices were £4 and £2 for kids and because the urchins turned up they put the prices up!!

[and1inthetree]

oi - craig david.

 

i got in for a quid at bognor last season when it was 8 or 9 quid for adults. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/alk.gif" alt="" />

[Eastside Urchin]

yeah but it is more amazing when i do it as i am 31 and you are merely and 029 crew!!

although you do look quite old and haggered tree

[Dangler]

You had to be 5 feet 6 inches or under to get in for £4 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I thought that the Maximum entrance fee allowed at ESL level was £5?

I realise a programme of £1 value was included but as someone else mentioned, buying a programme shouldn't be compulsory.

[Trigger]

 

£12 for me and the kids.... with the worst programme so far this season thrown in.....DISGRACE.

 

 

And who was the Wan... who said to us at the end that we were jumping on the bandwagon.... T

[Uncle Urchin]

he was at it all through the game triggs....some of the stuff he came out with was embarrasing and even the other 6 tilbury fans gave him a wide berth...his abuse of the female lino was so crude it belied belief...especially for a game that was in effect 'a friendly' <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

there's always one mate and it brings it home to us all how important it is to draw the line between healthy banter and crude abuse...

[Eastside Urchin]

its funny how the ones with no fans are moaning coz we have some,the fact of the matter was not many people used to turn up at the bridge years ago coz no one knew when we were playing,not even the locals,i used to walk round the corner on a saturday as a youth hoping that there was a game on!!

[coupwotcoup]

We suffered the same thing back in 1992 when we had a good following. Most ESL clubs upped their gate and bar prices when we hit town.

A lot of them are not averse to making a fast buck or two.

[coupwotcoup]

Don't think there is any set price at this level. We charged a £5 back in 2002 on our return while most other clubs were charging £4.

As for programmes included in the price, it was the norm with a lot of football league clubs around 20 years ago, but quite a few ESL clubs have done it over the years, but some gatemen tend to forget to reduce the price when the progs have sold out!

[zody]

should there be a fixed price through out all non league football chaps

[and1inthetree]

no there shouldn't zody.

[coupwotcoup]

I agree..market forces rule ok

[zody]

for what reason Tree

[and1inthetree]

as coup says, market forces rule ok.

 

fixed price across the board would also mean you'd have to charge all those little kiddies too.

[Dagger03]

>>i just wonder if there normal prices were £4 and £2 for kids and because the urchins turned up they put the prices up!!

 

The prices were on a board outside the entrance, and they had not been amended.

 

I was asked if I was eligible for the concession rate, but said no - to which the gateman said to me "all the others say they are".

 

From memory, the lowest admission so far was the £4 at Hullbridge, plus £1 for the programme, and I seem to recall paying £1.50 for a programme somewhere.

 

I did not think the £6 was unreasonable, as the programme was included, so it was no more than elsewhere - HFC is £5 plus £2 for the programme, so it evens out.

 

I strongly object to places like East Thurrock ripping us off, but I do not think that Tilbury did anything wrong. I had not noticed the £4 charge - but could this be £3 concession plus £1 for the programme, with a free programme only for those who pay the £6?
