If KB has looked at Hull (or Leicester who did similar I believe) the only figure that will interest him is "How much money did they make" It is all very well putting a couple of thousand on the gate at reduced prices but for us to make the same amount of cash for you and your family at £5 each, on the figures you have given, we would need to attract an EXTRA 13+ fans in -ie 17/18 instead of 4 !! And the Carling Cup seemed to show that certainly at £10 per adult the extra fans will still not turn up. Yes, he will need to see if the extra fans brought in extra revenue via merchandise - pies, programmes etc offset against extra police and stewarding costs etc ! Like everyone else I would love to see ER full again (especailly starting Saturday with a massive game for us !) and I do feel sorry for those who genuinely cannot afford to go, but at the end of the day we are a business and it is all about "maximising our revenue stream" or some such, and the cold hard fact is that 10,000 paying £25 brings in a lot more cash than 30,000 at £5 per head !!!!
So fans can moan and whinge all they want on here or waccoe ( at least one thread a day on this subject) but Bates will only reduce prices if he is convinced that it will bring more money in Dave David Brennan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Do you think Ken "I've got a secret mission to destroy Leeds United" Bates will have looked at the full crowd at the KC Stadium in Hull on Saturday and thought 'I'd love to see Elland Road full of Leeds fans and the side winning 4-1, I'll give that fiver-a-ticket scheme go"? This would enable the likes of me to pay 20 quid instead of 86 quid for two kids and two adults to see us play.
