I've just made some from the glut of blackcurrants in my garden. As ever can't get them to set. Don't know if this is a sign.

The U18 pricing removing the U10 category is a joke.
I've made great efforts to get my 6 yr old lad into BHAFC which isn't the easiest living in the midlands (and if PB had his way, he would have refused him entry and ID checked him at the away games he's been to). Yeah, yeah I know TB has sunk £300 Million in but given we get an extra £100 million in TV cash alone next year, Is it really necessary to mug off parents with young kids?

I agree and do sympathise with the OP. Irrespective of modern football, bloom making money back, comparing to others blah blah £45 is still a lot for 90 minutes. I also live in the south west and its bare minimum of £120 per home game!
I'd urge anyone who won't pay these prices to get watching non league. Standard may not be as good but it really is good fun. I usually pay £3-£10 and it's social, can have a beer on the terrace, see some different places and some cracking grounds. Many do it now.

It's the kids that are needed for the next phase in the club's support evolution IMOH
If we hadn't been promoted and the first match had been Burton at home this problem wouldn't have arisen. #BarberOut

As a matter of curiosity, Do you think the number could be wrong (slightly high) on the basis Man u and Liverpool have season ticket holders that are 112 and have actually died and passed down the ticket to the next generation rather than waiting in the queue?

Ticket prices increase as we reach the most expensive league in the world, shock horror.

I paid £40 for a ticket for the Blackburn game last season (East Stand lower Row D)

Cheers that's interesting to know.
I wonder if they've worked that with the birth of the PL in 1992?

Absolutely! All those people who can afford to go to more games than you can will be the ones with the loyalty points who will be allowed to buy the tickets, won't they?

No other way of the club doing it though. It's not the club's fault that I can't afford to go to many games and therefore didn't have many loyalty points.
Some people just need to stop bloody moaning.

Cat C games are £15 i believe.
I seem to have lots of thumbs up with my critical comments of you, you accuse me of lacking humour, you throw rainbow flags and limp wrists about as 'smileys', as far as I can see there is only one drama queen around here

Not a problem limited to the Albion and the saddest part is with all the TV deals around there really is no need for prices to be anything north of £25 yet more and more money finds its ways into players and agents pockets and tickets continue to rise. Any price that stops anyone going to games is not a good thing and I really feel for a generation of kids and adults who are now getting priced out of supporting their team

This comment might carry some merit if, like Arsenal, we were making fortunes and the owners had the profits.
As I'm sure you are aware, the situation is very different.
Yes, there are still moans about our lack on signings on other threads.
All costs associated with football are crazy, but blaming Barber for this is obscene
