Drumloyal 14,767 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 you said it yourselfwe paid more to go to shiteholes like motherwell, or be pissed on by the rain at easter road, like it or not hampden is a better stadium than most SPL grounds, just cause we are in div 3 doesnt mean we shouldnt pay for the privelage to watch our teamTrue, I don't grudge the £20, that's cheap these days for a match and especially as these clubs are not the poisonous scum we are used to. I guess i'm just wary about clubs trying to rip our fans off, especially after all the leeches that have latched onto us in recent times, feeding off us to survive. Anyway, I hope the match is a sell-out and puts a nice wee sum in the QP bank account. I can see it now, Rhegan creeping down the corridor at Hampden to ask the QP finance officer "Can we get a wee tap til next year?".... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nice to see David Longmuir's not afraid to call it as he sees it. I can understand clubs like Elgin trying to make hay while the sun shines but its a fine line between maximising income and taking libertys and i hope they and other clubs realise that.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,208 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They are profiteering, but may have put the prices too high considering it is televised, We can return the pricing structure favour next time they visit Ibrox. Personally, I don't care if none of their fans come to our games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIE8CH 296 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 This may go against queens park as the game is on sky and it the saturday between christmas and new year so some of our support may give it a miss to watch in the pub.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 These 3rd div clubs are certainly trying to get what the can out of us while we're there and it's a fair point for Longmuir to raise, but I don't see a prblem with it. If it was £10 quid more, I'd say it was criminal, but SPL clubs have been doing that for years and nothing has every happened.These clubs are more deserving of their day in the sun that those SPL shits.

Blink1872 19 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think this is the medias way of stirring up trouble between us and other SFL teams now that we have been vindicated of being Tax "cheats". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They should have been charged what we paid £16. Our normal single match ticket is £17 for the opposite corner for our own fans. We are charging QP and others the same price. The difference is that you are seated in a covered stand in a ground with excellent facilities. Borough Briggs is like a junior ground aan Hampden is a horrible stadium with terrible sight lines.

govanblue 16,847 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 south stand at hampden 20quidbroomloan corner 17 quidwe simply cannot complain, there are 15 quid tickets for bears available at hampden which is 2 quid cheaper than we charged queens fansI beg to differ.QP v Stirling (22 Nov) - £12. attendance: 557. Approx gate receipts: £4,000QP v Rangers - £20. Attendance: 40,000. Approx gate receipts: £600,000That's not how bulk-buying works.How does one justify that price-hike? Are we fatter than Stirling fans maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosebrad 452 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 FFS lads we charge away fans £17, which far more that they are use to paying. QP should charge us £17 to go to Hampdon just have the same facilities as we have at Ibrox. I agree media stirring up shite again. Go to Hibs St Mirren all shite and we paid £25 or more.

No. They're charging a premium price for a premium product, Rangers.Whingeing for the sake it.Just dont buy the £20 tickets just £17. They normally play at little Hampden not the main so they could argue same facilities, I do agree £20 not fair but £17 cant really argue with this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
