Organised boycott?

Messy.

I think cov should have agreed £30 for Leeds fans and given them a coach load.

The voucher is a bit of a cop out. You have to spend £60 ffs!

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Its a pisstake. Down to us not them too. I wont be paying £48 with booking and pist to watch division 2 football.

Yep spend £108 to get £15 off

 

[pusbccfc]

The whole line about Leeds having 4500 is an issue. Doug has got this wrong. We could have limited Leeds to 2000

 

[pusbccfc]

Should be £15 of a coach or something.

We couldn’t have given them cheaper admission than home fans

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The club should be subsidising coach travel for this rather than give vouchers with a ludicrous minimum spend.

Give them the same as what they give us......2.5k? Do we desperately need 74k?

 

[pusbccfc]

Then you take this deal Leeds suggest they have to the EFL.

Every other club has agreed it haven't they? I must have missed something.

We'd sell it anyway. Give Leeds the same allocation as Middlesbrough and put away fans behind the goal.

I don’t see why we should. We get nothing from their home game as revenue - just boycott it

 

[SBAndy]

Was on my list but not bothering at that price.

 

[Skybluecol]

Leeds are taking the piss......
Our clubs response: tries to rinse the fans as much as they can....
Product is only as good as league table position
Doug is going to have a reality check during the summer where STHs fall to 14k......he's riding the wave of optimism from last season and taking a short sighted approach

 

[pusbccfc]

We could have given them 1500 and charged £30.

In defence of Leeds, they charge their home fans £45 and give away fans tickets at £20 if the opposition agree..

 

[rob9872]

Disgusting.

I'll have to go as not played them for years and daughter never been to Leeds, so promised this one, but leaves a bitter taste. The £15 voucher is a fekkin joke too.

 

[Skybluecol]

100% we'd sell Leeds away....even if it was £50+ ticket
Just give them the same allocation and not 4.5k

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

How many will have we sold for our home game 5 months ahead?
And the club could charge a lower price for away fans tgan some home tickets.

 

[Killers mullet]

I don't know what is worse the £47.20 ticket price or the clubs gesture of buy a full price item at £60 (but not until January) and get £15 off. Give us half price coach travel and many will be happy. Don't away fans in the prem pay less than home fans with the £30 price cap?

 

[Evo1883]

The club clearly care too much about selling 4500 tickets at CAT A pricing .

It's coventry that are in the wrong here IMHO

 

[EalingSB]

When I saw the tweet I assumed the gesture would be travel. Twenty quid more than Millwall.

Yep 100%.


Other clubs have dropped ticket prices for Leeds below their own home fans.

 

[Evo1883]

Tbh , club should charge Leeds 47 to make it fair

 

[Tommo1993]

We should by principle cap their allocation here, but as a business we’d be stupid to do that.

If a club is charging well above average then imo the rules should be waived to allow reciprocation - I reckon if you had a 23 way vote across other clubs, it’d be unanimous to charge them the same in return.

 

[pusbccfc]

We can't, that's the problem.

Leeds charge up to £45/47 for home tickets.

We should hold out to see the demand. If there's demand in the home ends for 27k, give them 1500.

I reckon we’d need to be flirting with autos to hit that sadly.

 

[Evo1883]

To be fair , Leeds could have just charged us 37 quid , both clubs are being bellends

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

We can't, that's the problem.

Leeds charge up to £45/47 for home tickets.

If we put a bit of foam on the seats and clean up the pigeon shit could we charge them £55 and say its corporate?

 

[pusbccfc]

I reckon we’d need to be flirting with autos to hit that sadly.

We get 24k already. It's Leeds, without doubt one of the biggest at this level.

 

[pusbccfc]

Problem is, they have a stance that they'll only reduce prices if Leeds fans don't have to pay full price everywhere.

They are protecting their fans away from home.

 

[Tommo1993]

Is a bit slimy. Just so CCFC can say they did offer some sort of compensation, even though it really isn’t.

 

[Alkhen]

I'm lost how is this Coventry profiteering? What this thing about dropping the Leeds away fan price? Seems very dodgy to me. Like a 'big' club dictating the rules.

Educate me

 

[pusbccfc]

Unfortunately the robbing fuckers at Leeds charge their own fans £45.

We are paying the going rate.

Doug and Boddy have decided to profit off 4000 Leeds fans whereas other clubs in this division dropped their prices for Leeds fans to benefit their away supporters travelling to Elland Road

 

[Kingokings204]

it’s not a perfect deal I get that but can’t see a lot wrong with £30 for both sets of away fans. If cov fans want to go then it’s £7 more. Price of a pint ffs.

All seems silly tbh but doesn’t shock me
