Yeah, I've thought about doing that, but aren't the trains rammed by the time they reach London Road? Maybe I'll try it next time I haven't actually got a match ticket on me ... #faredodger

For all matches? (eg v Spurs, Man Utd) My Chelsea-supporting mate suggests otherwise.

Is this the same chelsea "supporter" who claims poyet is popular at chelsea , he doesnt know a lot does he ? If you're a member you can buy tickets in the family area , where its a lot cheaper for kids, but it sells out quite quickly, I am going to the cup replay v brentford where the whole stadium is half price for kids. Does he ever go ? Doesnt sound like it.

Firstly we won't sell out every game , secondly the average price is too high if you factor in kids prices and OAP concessions plus any STH's who pro rata price is about £20 per game. Not everyone of those extra attendees will spend a tenner on booze , food and a programme.

Fair point but it would be interesting to see what the average price is when you take into account the amount the 1901s pay. As for selling out, I know that but all I am saying is that the picture isn't quite as bleak as an £8m hole. As for the tenner, surely it is reasonable to assume that the extra attendees will spend roughly the same average as those currently going. Afterall, not everyone that goes now spends £10 but I understood that was the average spend currently (ie, some spend considerably more some less!)

He goes to around 10 matches a season. He's a member. Has a son.
So are you saying that consessions are available for ALL Chelsea matches?
I'm (still) confident that most Chelsea fans don't have a problem with Poyet, btw - even if a handful of fans on messageboards suggest otherwise.
How many Chelsea matches do YOU go to each season, BTW?

Corners are £415, so I think there will still be seats available at under £500, even allowing for a reasonable increase for the club and a painful increase in the travel.

I am absolutely 100% telling you that the family concession ( as long as you're a member) is available for all matches , how many games do I go to ? i've always averaged 10 home games and a couple of aways a season, not anymore though,I've been about 3 times this season, all on season ticket holders that couldn't go. I think I posted it on here how I was booking my ticket (£59 cheapest ) and had a "f*** it , i'll watch it in my local, which will have a bettter atmosphere and i'll savea lot of money, moment.
The question that is relevant for Chelsea fans is HOW LONG they have been going , did he do the dire , shit times of the early 80's ? I bet he didn't,( waits for you to tell me he's a LIFELONG fan , who was going in the roy bentley days) I'd also like to know what makes you feel that you know better than me with regards to the majority of fans feelings towards Poyet ? One JCL fan telling you how much he and all the other JCL's cheered a former player like Poyet really doesnt equate to hard evidence that satisfactorily contradicts someone who has far more of a finger on the pulse of Chelsea than you do.
Why do the majority supposedly dislike Poyet?

They dont "supposedly" dislike him , they dislike him full stop, because he moved to tottenham which is bad enough in itself, but also kissed their scummy , manky cockerel badge in front of all of the chelsea fans when they scored against us.

@bushy, @Wozza, isn't this a case of "you're both right"? Bushy I 100% believe you about the family concessions if you're a member. However on the times in the modern era that I've been to Stamford Bridge (with Newcastle) obviously not being a Chelsea member there were no concessions for my two children, their tickets were the same price as mine.

Because I travel from Norfolk I prefer to get down here early Saturday to avoid train disruptions and delays. I'm effectively paying twice for the same journey in Sussex . If we are and I expect it to happen gonna have to pay the full travel supplement, a bit more leway would be helpful. I know it's part of the planning conditions but surely the travel operators should be doing more. They have the club by the goolies!.Why should the club pay for your travel outside of the Amex consourse opening times

At £59 a ticket I'm not surprised you watched it in the pub where you can have a few beers for half the price. You have to draw a line somewhere.

Totally agree mate, it's ridiculous now, I am taking my two boys to the brighton game tonight which is about £60 for all three of us , which is reasonable and well within reach of the average joe, which Chelsea certainly isnt when the concessions sell out.
