That's such a crude way of looking at it, they are pointless comparisons because the catchment areas for many clubs extends way beyond the city or town boundary, some clubs have a much bigger regional pull than we do, Norwich sit alone representing the whole of Norfolk. Which boundary are you...

I really can't understand why people are struggling with this. Chap I work with - very much your classic casual supporter. Will do 7-8 games a season. Asked if he is going to Forest and he's not. Takes his missus and 2 kids, so says it's expensive and it's on TV. He is going to Reading...

The away membership just gives you priority for the away games you do want to go to, it's not a commitment of any kind. There will be midweek away games this season where Forest will only take 500 or so. The 1800 tickets went on sale to these members yesterday and there are still tickets left...

But, isn't the £30 thing a genuine excuse when used in reference to non attendance at one of the 6 games that is £30?

Nobody is making any excuses on this issue. It was the club that used the phrase 'sky blue wall' but then proceeded to prevent anyone buying in there for the first season ticket release of 8000. By the time they opened it, more than 80% of season ticket holders had already bought, and probably...

Regret it, why on earth would they regret it? Makes no sense. It'll be great to have supporters behind the goal again. It'll be well occupied for some games, not so much for others. So what. At least fans have the option to sit there rather than be forced to buy on row A or sit in the shit...

They'll get more I'm sure, but will still not get anywhere near 5K. People are completely misreading just how desperate people are to get to a game, and also massively overstating the size of away followings in the Championship (we used to take more than most Championship clubs in League 1...

The main objection seems to be that it is televised and also the price for children. Most clubs will, if possible, downgrade the category of a game if it is selected for TV. We knew the game was televised before prices were released, but still went for Cat A. Said before, the club need...

Forest fans aren't happy about the ticket prices. Some of them foaming at the mouth over it on twitter. We're charging them £20 for young kids, that is a piss take to be fair.

You do realise all covid restrictions have been lifted? I'm pretty sure it has been on the news! There are cash turnstiles too, so absolutely zero restrictions of any kind.

Very little interest this time around. Time difference and the fact events are scheduled to suit US TV networks doesn't help and then you factor in the shit punditry and lack of crowds and it's all a bit shit. Can't see the gold rush for us that we've enjoyed in the last few games either (was...

Thought we looked decent second half. Not worried at all tbh.

Wasps is a franchise though, it was all done to try to build a fan base from scratch, and nobody is suggesting we should issue out freebies everywhere and massively reduce prices. We're not talking about a minority sport 'brand' here and a team with no links to the city, we're talking about...

Walking into Spoons in Cheltenham at 11.15am and a load of Cov at the bar. Away days are back. :love:

Although I think the price/TV/Sunday factors will hurt the attendance, it'll be far more than that. We'll have to be doing very badly to get less than 14K home fans at any game this season. ST holders, corporate, the usual complimentaries they give out, plus match package holders and any...

Must have really extended the place if they can now accommodate hundreds seated outside. Really looking forward to the opening game, hopefully will be rocking in there.

What time will the coach set off do you think?

If you needed any confirmation that people won't pay £30 for a televised fixture on a Sunday, consider that for our long awaited 'homecoming' fixture, barely a ticket has been sold on the 1st day of sale. We can say the prices are average for the division, that we'd all do whatever it takes to...

From a standing start I suppose, no renewals in there, will take a while to change habits and I guess some people can't be arsed with moving. I expect it will be popular with match package holders and people who buy game by game. Will be good to see it occupied again certainly.

You might be right there. I know they had crazy cheap season tickets but now you mention it the matchday prices might have been as high as that..
