rochdale prices oops

[Nodge70]

The Top 4-10 in the premiership usually charge a tenner for games in the carling cup and thats against championship teams

No, they don't. Only Arsenal did that for a couple of seasons. Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Spurs, Everton never have. You have to agree pricing with the visiting teams and they never want the prices reduced too much as they lose a revenue cut (as Man Utd and Chelsea didn't reduce much when we played there)

My take on it is this...

Before prices were announced, I thought it may be a tenner. So slightly surprised it was £15 but really not complaining.

And yes, with all due respect to Rochdale, it might have been nice to draw Charlton or Sheff Utd for that price or someone higher profile but we knew were seeded and "them the breaks," you get what you are given.

Personally, as someone who been largely priced out of going this season, I'm just happy to get along to Loftus Road and support the team. Will probably spend a day up London before kick off to further justify the cost of rail fare etc so no complaints from me.

I moved to the rainy Pennines 12 years ago, I'm jumping in with some local 'DALE' fans in their mini-bus . . . . . . They paid £20 to watch the home game against Huddersfield on Sat and there was 6,500 of them there, seeing as we 'only' got 15,000+ for our first game back in the promised land . . . . I think it's a bit harsh to call them the worst supported team in the league. PS not looking forward to 4 hour trip home after they beat us 3 or 4 -nil
