its a bargin if you think of the quality of football and the view you get.... wait a sec dry.gif laugh.gif

Its a seated stadium so I dont see why they cant charge a reasonable price to watch reasonable football. Its a bit cheaper than Stark's and even cheaper than Airdrie were charging.

I dont see them doing a Cowdenbeath either, when they upped the price when Rovers fans came calling, to watch a game from a hell hole.
AllanJM
Yeah this is a bit steep but we can't say too much it's still cheaper than Starks.

How much was it last season?

Not the dearest, and not the worst ground in the league.
Yet somehow a "piss-take".


How so? rolleyes.gif

£10 to get into Hampden - it shouldn't be any more to get into Bayview.

It's been £10 to get into Somerset for years. While that might be reflected in the quality of the ground at least the club haven't had the cheek to increase admission costs for Second Division football.

It should be £10 into Bayview - £12 would be pushing it a bit, but £13 is taking the piss!

So how a seat at Stark's Park worth £15?

QP are an amateur side, which means, strangely enough, they don't pay wages.
We do, and we have signed some decent players, ready to play at a higher level. We have also provided away fans with a new (cough) stand, and are in the process of lots of other ground developments. So if you're not happy, don't f***ing come. Tight fisted weedgie bassa.

Starks is £14 wink.gif And no it isn't worth the money...........

Football at this level should be £10 across the board (and even then I could make an argument for it being cheaper) smile.gif

Shocking. Must need the money to pay Gretna for their second hand Meccano stand.

They did parent and child tickets last year, dunno if they're doing them again.

Same as Stark's i think

Don't see how its a piss take. Its about the going rate for this division is it not?
Liam
I got 2 sets parent & child season tickets for £180 each which basically works out at half price! Splendid deal!
For those that don't have calculators:
18 x (13+7=) 20 = £360
Think its now £200 for the P&C tickets but still a huge saving!
Whistle Blower
It's simple really, turn up just before kick off when the turnstile has run out of change and you will get in for £10.

£13 is a hefty whack out of the giro, can't see too many Fifers being happy with that.

Been a tenner at Alloa for the last few years. It should be a flat rate of £10 (£5 con) for every club in this league.

Prices of things like electricity and water are shooting up though, everything seems to be going up (except wages of course) so its hardly an isolated price hike.

I agree that £13.00 to watch 2nd division football is over the top -and yes so is £14- but I'm not particularly offended about it. It's roughly what I was expecting. £15 when we visit then yeah?

I wont accept that. I'll start a petition.

We should ban EF fans and just let the residents of Pratt Street use the car park at a cost.

Always amuses me to read supporters girning about an extra pound or two for admission when they'll spend more than that on their first swally on matchday.

Fair point, actually.

How much did East Fife charge last season? And will parent/child gates be available to away supporters?
Gordon EF
Surely all the people 'concerned' that we're living outwith our means will be happy to pay a bit extra so that our means can increase.

It was £10 last season and I'm sure it is available to away supporters.
St Pauli Fifer
I don't see the problem. Teams are charging £14 (even last season). We've paid out money for arguably the strongest squad in the league - and are now talking about building up the ground.

We can't have it all for a tenner a game. Especially with the shocking fanbase we have.

You can still buy a season ticket until 31st July for a tenner a game.

Feel a bit for away fans but what can you do ?
Cliche Guevara
Reduce the prices?

There is a bizarre system for parent and child at Bayview. You have to go and buy tickets at reception then go through the concession gate. Why they don't just allow you to go through I don't know.

Why should away fans subsidise your overspending?

I had the same argument at Clydebank (or somewhere like that) last season at £15 a head. I was told it was to support their "full-time football".
Loki
County were £12 for the stands last season and £10 for the terracing. With Concessions being £6 and £5. This season we will be charging £14 for the stands and £12 for the terracing. Although the level of football getting played will increase by away teams even £14 is alot of money considering the average wage in and around locally.

Sadly they will be some First Division sides charging £16 this season. Down the road at Caledonian Stadium you pay £25. Football is over priced in this country.

At least our away car park charges have been frozen at £2.50, that's not a bad deal.

What is the capacity of the temp stand?
Forest_Fifer
Depends who you ask.

Some Thistle guys said 1500, but the Alloa planning app said about 900.

Looking at it, I'd say the latter was more likely.

In any case, it's not going to be ready for ages, as it'll have to go through planning etc.

When do you think it will be ready for?

The first fife derby at Bayview?
