Leeds average about 20k home supporters so they are one of the better supported teams in the efl so gate receipts won’t be a problem or will they?
I also don’t see many big names in that squad so again the wage bill will hardly be a crippling one surely ?
I have a simple policy with away games if the price is above 25 quid I won’t go end of as I don’t think the standard of football is worth it.
Football isn’t like a concert it the theatre you are not guaranteed entertainment and also always annoys me when they try to charge similar prices.
Don’t go and hopefully young dave and jj will return the favour to them next May with similar prices .I suggest football is not for you then. You cannot guarantee great football at any match. Some days its good, some days its awful, other days its brilliant. That’s what football is and will always be whichever team you follow.
How the hell can you willingly pay 25 dabs to watch YOUR team play then not go cos its 26 dabs.I just can’t get my head round that!

What a journey!Guess ya gotta draw the line somewhere. Am sure Vince will decide if footballs not for him! Last season was pretty entertaining but last season in championship and this one so far has been bloody dire!

It’s all about prerogatives, it’s your money and you spend it on what you want! Some blind faith merchants will gladly part with their ‘Well earned’ regardless of whether they get value for money or not ( Gotta support the team! ) but at the end of the day, if a fan thinks the pricing is too high then yes he has every right to say ” Get tae feck ” Leeds are one of many clubs living off their past and I don’t see them as a big club, yet they charge ‘Big Club’ prices. Their fans are a set of c***s as well !

Perhaps the FA can introduce a scheme whereby you get in through the turnstiles into the ground for nowt and leave it to the fans to pay what they think was value for money on the way out.
e.g. Play crap, get beat 3-0 drop a tenner in the box, play great just edge a 3-2 win, put £25 in the box.It’s always harder to support a losing team, just look at our crowds, but in my opinion it sorts the stalwarts out from the casual fans [nothing against these fans at all by the way]
IMHO cost only plays a very small part in deciding what catagory you put yourself in.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!If we were 10 points clear at the top of the league and Leeds were struggling i still wouldn’t go to Elland Road and pay £35 on principal, like Roy said you have to draw the line somewhere, £35 is scandalous no matter what the circumstances!
Fuck the EFL
Unfortunately we as a Club cannot do anything about. We, like all Clubs, publish prices at the beginning of the season and we have to stick to them.The argument is that outside the Premier League, gate receipts are much bigger percentage of the clubs income. So prices have to be in line with operating costs.
Leeds, having been outside the Premier League for so long still have high costs and not many ways to get the cash in to cover them.
With all due respect thats a lot of cobblers….
Charge and get 800 punters (if they are lucky).
OR
Charge £20 and get 3000+ punters.
Its not rocket science, these idiots that set prices are just plain thick.

Leeds’ average attendance is 22,000+. Lowering the prices would lose them more money than extra clicks through the turnstiles.
Their pricing structure is nothing at all with getting more away fans in – they don’t need them. It’s about setting a price that home fans will pay in sufficient numbers.Bollocks………….If Leeds charged £20 quid across the board their home average would be 35,000 not 22,000.
Like I said,these idiots that set the prices are thick.
£20×35,000 and £35×22,000 come out to remarkably similar numbers, but the outlay for stewarding, ticket staff etc will rise with bigger crowds.

£20 x 35,000 = £700,000
£35 x 22,000 = £770,000Brilliant. Back into the shadows I go.
I suppose the 35,000 would be more inclined to spend a few quid whilst at the match, or in the club shop, and they would certainley feel the club actually thought about them.
At the end of the day though, if 22,000 are willing to pay it, why would they even contemplate reducing the cost.Well said horc,…..not only are the idiots who make up the prices thick,some on here are not the brightest.
