This is typical socialist chat. Grasses. It's just people wanting others to suffer because they have to cough up. On your twisted logic a person's financial contribution directly corresponds with their 'support' of the club. Namely a casual fan paying on the gate for say 65% of the games is more of a fan than a season ticket holder that goes to every single game because he's coughed more cash and an exec box company is more of a fan than any of you. Clearly your argument or at least your logic is bollox and i can see no more to it than jealousy. I think it's too expensive to watch football these days and would prefer to pay about a tenner which i think would be fair.And yes your creepy grass em up, cctv, asbo mentality is indicative of the pc brigade and all that's wrong with broken britain. So there. And petrol, and eating out and going to the cinema, and buying groceries, electrical goods etc. Hmmm, how can I avoid all this expense, its just too much .

That'll prove Britain's not broken. And it'll be one in the eye for the PC brigade and their moaning about people having to pay for the products and services they want. I'm expecting a whooosh at any time....

I don't know if im completelymisunderstanding your point....but how does someone paying no money at all to the club constitute a supporter? They're a scrounger. They're robbing the club. They're robbing the hard working employees like the Chris Williams and Martin Brodetskys of this world who miss out on pay because of it. They're robbing the other fans of players they could be watching. they're not fans at all. They give absolutely nothing to the club. How can you be fanatical if you refuse to contribute anything to the party? It's like going down the pub with your mates, allowing them to buy some rounds and then leaving when its your round.

Bugger I knew I was doing something wrong when I worked for a bank. I put all the money in the safe at night.
Silly me. I should have taken it home and invited some of you lot round for a few drinks on the proceeds then when you were p*ssed I should have told you it came out of your accounts. Then Im sure you would have gone home happy.
The staff who are doing this are taking money from all of our pockets so if they are caught tough they derserve all they get.

It's not an excuse for people getting in free, but it has been said before that some of our ticket prices could be more affordably priced to the youngsters / unemployed / squaddies/ OAPs.
It seems that once you are over 16 unless you are a student you are onto adult prices. Also the jump in price for kids once over 11 is quite a lot, and can be expensive for the parent wanting to take kids but not go in the family stand. Also our elderly rate is for over 65s, most other clubs it is for over 60s.
(Our cheapest adult season ticket prices are though very reasonable compared to almost every club except Bradford)

So, if I've got this right, suggesting it's wrong to deprive the club of revenue makes one a rabid, sadistic Socialist with tendencies to be jealous and inform to the authorities, while at the same time contributing to the decline of the country in a maelstrom of political correctness?
The motto seems to be if you think something's too expensive, don't worry, just steal it.

Boris would be turning in his grave if he were dead. Luckily he's not so he can turn somewhere else.

Name and shame away, yes i steal things from work like a pen or a ruler for home but i work in the IT department does that mean that i can steal a computer and its ok? by your reckoning you should be sacked and prosecuted,the difference between you and the people letting in their friends for a freebie is that they actually dont profit from it while you do. i used to get into the manor at kids price up until i was 18, sometimes while carrying a crash helmet.LOL ;D used to climb over the cuckoo lane wall and also arrive early..climb in and hide in the tunnel til safe to come out

The motto seems to be if you think something's too expensive, don't worry, just steal it. Yes to the first bit. It does. No to the second bit. Not if you think it's too expensive but rather - if you can get away with it. Whether you can 'steal' something you merely watch is a moot point also. Can you really take a memory with the intention to perminantly deprive? If so who did that memory or experience belong to? It's the club's job to make sure its procedures are robust enough to stop the freeloaders not for the likes of you lot to grass them up. As I say, it's socialism gone pc world. You just worry about your selfish little selves you stalinist lot and let everybody else get on with their lives. It really is none of your business how much anybody else pays. AND if you've ever used a price comparison website or teletext holidays et al you are a hypocrite of the first order.

I would consider the first to be more of a fan than the second. Also these people are not taking from anyone. They are not depriving anyone are they, just there as well (although if it's a sell out this could be argued). I don't like seeing people grassed up, I think it stinks. And it's none of you people's business what others get up to I don't think. The STASI would've loved you lot I might add.

I don't quite get your point, is there a link between socialism, teletext and a shop flogging computers? Are you Mark E Smith? Have you not considered the health & safety implications?

This particular guy travelled all the way from Leicester for home matches and had (has) a decent job. No reason why he shouldn't pay. He's not some skint kid or unemployed person. With the greatest respect, you're making yourself look a bit silly calling people "Stalinist" just because they think it's wrong to cheat the club.

i was in a position a couple of seasons ago where i knew someone who could get me a free ticket (legally). although i did take advantage of it a few times, but it felt wrong. part of being a fan is contributing.

we used to go to away games and obtain comp tickets from their ticket offices by looking at names on the envelopes - always worked. Until B'Mouth away around 96 when we had 'obtained' the tickets left for their groundsman Had to exit to the pub after only 20mins. Funny as fck
