The incompetence of the authorities is a major drawback to the fans getting value for money, there is no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) If you can afford a £4 million wage bill then you can afford to cap prices at £20. Edit for clarity Edited October 26, 2019 by Poet of the Macabre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea! Blame the SPFL whilst you spend £3million on players wages. You're at it, if your owner wanted to he could make it £10 to get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant228 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Pars/Dundee United fans do move abroad. ParsTv has been really good for fans not able to attend games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit for clarity There's a lot of pish in that article. Shankland is not the highest paid player at the club, this has been stated in many an occasion, and while mentioning 11 players that came in in january, missing out 9 first team squad members left in summer. While only United & Dundee are above £20 only Arbroath,Alloa,Ayr & QOTS are below, the rest are £20. United took the decision to not drop prices when we came down to fund a promotion push & keep the infrastructure. It hasn't happened, but it could be argued that that extra £2 a game is what pays for the wage bill. Our issue is paying for Gussie & St. Andrews and believing that paying Premiership wages for "Premiership standard" players will do that. Some would argue they are too comfortable & believe they are better than the Championship but thats for a different argument. I'm not saying it's right, nor am I saying it's wrong, but ICT charge £20 and are looking to stave off Admin. To bring in more money they could out up prices but it would drive those that do go away. How do they make more money? £20 isn't covering their costs. Wages are too high, problem is fans won't accept not signing players. In some ways the clubs can't win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides if bought in advance it's the same price as your South Stand and the concessions are £5 cheaper at Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm hoping for an open game, which we seem to prefer, and a Dunfermline performance that allows us to start quickly. If we start poorly or they come at us then I can see it becoming another struggle, similar to those we have seen in recent weeks. A huge few games in the space of just a few days, 7 points from 9 would be my target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often get the Megabus down to places for away games and the train back due to the cost of the train. Obviously train when possible as it's easily the best method of travel for football, but when you can save circa £15/£20 then there's no contest! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Much more balanced line up from United this week in a 4 4 2 with Clark and Shankland as the front two. Pawlett better have a good game on the left! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
