So people are criticising Nick for what they do themselves. Well that is ironic. Perhaps we should just have an irony wheel that goes round in circles.
If you look at the tweet that posted this story on Twitter - it says 'Expensive Pies and Tea at CCFC'
You know exactly what that is implying...
You said and I quote "any way to kick the club when they can" only they didn't kick the club.
agreed
they should have put....
#itsalldowntoWaspsandCompass.
They aren't expensive for programmes, you still don't realise it.They kicked Compass from what I read and highlighted that the club get jack shit out of the rip off.
Pretty much praised the club for ticket prices.
Pointed out that we are expensive for t shirts and matchday programs.
It isn't though as nobody has said it's their fault?Exactly right.
No more needs to be said really.

The club's a mess and going nowhere, oh well let's give a load of stick to people who complain about it, like the CT and the Trust, as if it is their fucking fault....

you've pretty much just proved Nick and CDs point.
We're not expensive for match day programs but spin it right and that's what people will believe whether it's true or not.
Exactly, that's what he took away from it.you've pretty much just proved Nick and CDs point.

We aren't expensive for programmes - god you can't make it up.
Wasn't trying to make a big deal out of it but it stood out to me. And you've just proved exactly the point you're arguing against with this:Good one in there today. Every club in League One apart from Fleetwood charge £3 for a programme. In the CT article this becomes 'City also top the League One charts for the most expensive programmes'.
Of the 24 teams in League 1 23, including us, charge £3 for a programme. Fleetwood are a bit of anomaly as they are pushing electronic programs which get sent to everyone on their database free of charge, its also a much smaller programme than others and partly written by fans contributing copy for free.Pointed out that we are expensive for t shirts and matchday programs.
The difference between the most expensive L1 shirt and the cheapest is a fiver.saw even shirts are the same as a fair few teams.
Hi guys! Can't say I've read much of this thread or the article in the Telegraph, but I just needed to say* that this might be the straw that broke the camel's back!!! It's shocking that we charge so much for food and drink and to have the most expensive programme makes me literally** sick!
*Type
**Not actually literally, but more like when you say something makes you literally sick so as to highlight to others how shocking you find it!
So it isn't easier to negotiate with yourself?Also Wasps prices were different because they did better negotiating, and the fact they own ACL was immaterial.
This was my original comment:

In League 2 there's only 2 teams that charge less than £3 and one team charges more. There's 15 conference sides who charge £3. Every team in the Championship and PL (except Southampton) charge either £3 or £3.50.
But as you and the CT say our programmes are expensive.
I posted something similar a few weeks ago - this version is more succinct and to to the point though (better, to be succinct)The club's a mess and going nowhere, oh well let's give a load of stick to people who complain about it, like the CT and the Trust, as if it is their fucking fault....
That £6.50 is expensive for a cup of tea and a pie?If you look at the tweet that posted this story on Twitter - it says 'Expensive Pies and Tea at CCFC'

They didn't complain about it though did they, until very recently.
It's comedy gold from Dongle. He's hit a 30 yard screamer into his own net.

The biggest threat to ccfc is the presence of wasps in the City.
The CT are their press mouthpiece and rolled the red carpet out. The trust doffed their caps in collective admiration.
Neither strategy can be applauded and means some of the blame game sticks with them.
Of course I do and did right from the beginning. On the BBC tool that the CET were quoting they are down as expensive. As Dave pointed out they are the same as 95% of the league.
However Dave pointed this out as another good example of the CET spinning against the club. To which you agreed suggesting they are taking the chance to kick the club.
Totally ignoring most of the article which isn't kicking the club at all.
Then you have a pop at people saying they will only read the bit they want to read.
Which is exactly what you and Dave are doing
Didn't they? No one started chanting SISU out when we were relegated from the championship? No one was complaining when we were took to Northampton on a whim? We've not had any marches or petitions until recently? I think you're very wrong on that score. This has been going on for years. Some good football might have papered over some cracks temporarily last season before reality came crashing back down but lets not pretend that no one has been complaining.
It is spinning it isn't it? It isn't correct.
They aren't expensive, they are the same as every team in the league bar 1 who do things differently.
I have read all of it, I have pointed out things that are incorrect and spin. You have also quoted them as expensive, when it isn't the case is it?
Have a look at the "away fans pay a quid less" article to whip up a storm, nothing mentioned about the car park fiascos though?
Another point missed.
Awww bless. You think Grendull was making a point. Don't you worry your cotton little socks about it.
It's spinning to suggest it's evidence of spinning against the club. When they got one line wrong, in an article that on the whole is supportive of the club. The BBC tool that they quoted has it wrong. So I would assume they just quoted that.
As oppose to thinking hey the BBC have screwed up here. However this is an opportunity to make the club look bad by quoting the wrong info.

No, it was Dutchman (the bloke you quoted in the post I quoted). Still, don't bother to read before trying to be funny.
