Ginaro Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 59 minutes ago, griffiti on the wall said: The question for me kennie is Do we just want to be an extension of the senior game or do we want to be radically different and adopt a whole new approach to the junior game ? Senior teams can approach things differently, see the prices in the Lowland League: Also from what I can find the East of Scotland League had prices ranging from Kelty at £6, to Burntisland and Coldstream at £3. I assume Junior clubs can set their own prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very unfair to a club which has a run of away draws in a cup, especially when very often the bulk of the crowd is with the team away from home. In the case of league games where the home team keeps all of the gate, nothing to stop them charging less than the recommended prices? But hardly likely!

Glenconner Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Think £5/6 is probably the limit for Junior football outside of a semi final or final. Notice on the Pollok website mention of £125 per adult season ticket for 2018/2019. That get's you entry to all games. You could forget trying that with the majority of Junior clubs. I've seen games were £125 was for the entire gate!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan of the juniors Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 When I go to our game I pay £6 then £2 for a programme £1 for a raffle & £1 for the hidden team do there’s yer £10 straight away. Also have a direct debit that pays my club lotto & our club 1901 so a think £6 is about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Tbh if there is no hard standing and no cover, never mind pishing against a wall with nowhere to wash your hands, then £5 or £6 is too expensive imo never mind too cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen's Dad Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think top division (West) next season could go to £7 & £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think that the current pricing is very cheap . Especially if you get yourself a season ticket which most working folk can afford at well under £100 in most cases. Fans at the Juniors are far more likely to put my hand in my pocket for extras as a consequence of the good will felt when not feeling fleeced I would imagine. I did a quick scan of what I've spent on senior football this season and it must be 5 or 6 times my Junior outlay. I really enjoy both but it's often hard to justify what I spend on senior football. Tbh anything over £20 for a run of the mill match is excessive. Having said that I'd pay more for junior games without grumbling too much as it's where I've seen some of the best games this season.
