Admission Price For Eastleigh FC Vs Southampton FC

[picamixdriver]

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8297768.Eastleigh_fingers_crossed_for_a_Martin_homecoming/

According To The Daily Echo Website
For Under 16's its 6 Pound And Under 12's is 4 pound
Personally I think it should be the same price as normal

[spitfirejosh]

wow. 6 pound for under 16s?

some u16s could get into saints cheaper for that(not sure why they would want to)

To be honest not all 16 year old have jobs.

I was saying to someone at the bashley game where the price was £8 to get in, that surely this is a good time to try and attract people in with cheaper prices as it's only a friendy, these sort of prices don't help to get new people in

[spitfirejosh]

I wont be going to a friendly for 6 pounds lol

I was a bit shocked by the £8 price at Bashley. That's what they charge for a league game. No way I think you should expect people to pay the same for a friendly.

Winchester City charged £7 admission to watch our reserves!!

It does seem a strange one to up the prices for the youth, but keeping the prices the same as a league game for Adults?
No sure we would sttract many younsgsters anyway giving its an evening KO.

IF it's Saints 1st team against Eastleigh 1st team then it's well worth the money.

I Agree With You On That But The Last Couple Of Years It Has Not Been The First Team For Saints
But I Don't Really Care About Saints That Much,I Am More Interested In The Eastleigh First Team
I Know For Sure That At Least 30 Under 16's Are Going But I Told Them It Was
3 Pound To Get In. It Does Seem A Bit Unfair To Me As A 15 Year Old And Season Ticket
Holder.I Remember Last Year Against Portsmouth And The Daily Echo Said It Would Be
The Same Prices But Eventually At The Game It Was The Same Prices As Normal.

Personally I think that you should remember that whilst this match is a high profile event for the club and one that gives us the chance to showcase our team and our facilities to members of the public who may not know how far we have progressed over recent years. It is also, and perhaps more importantly, an opportunity to raise valuable funds for our club.

Unlike may clubs we are in the enviable position that we are not operating from a position of debt and, in my opinion, long may this continue.

To that end, from an individual perspective you are being asked to pay an extra £3. Is this really too much to ask for you to contribute to our clubs success?

We are all "supporters" of this club and perhaps we should think about what that entails in the broadest sense of the word rather than focus on the fact that, on this occasion, the pricing structure affects you by £3.

If you, genuinely, have friends etc. who now decide that £6 is too high a price to pay then please ask them to come and see me, on the day, and I will pay the difference for them. ( I will be on the gate at the back of the stand.)

I Take You Up Of That Offer
But What I Don't Get Is Why Are The Prices Higher For Youth
And Not Double The Price For Adults.
To Me The Youth Are The Future Supporters Of The Club.
And All Of The Youth Going To The Game Would
Think 6 Pound Is Alot Of Money And Would Not Go
To Any Of The League Games If They Don't Know The Price
Normally.

Its ok for me payign 6 pound because i have a job.....

But 3 pounds is alot extra to ask off of there mum,plus they probally got to get the bus which is more.

and it just adds up quite expensive for say a 13 year old....

Surely add 3 pound onto adults tickets you wont really be affected,but i dont get why u16s are targetted,as they was last season the tickets went from a pound to 3 pound which is completly understandible because 3 pound is ok.

[mark]

well I think its disgusting that 48 year old have to pay a tenner , why can't the 25/40 year olds pay £5 more so I can get in cheaper.

btw Mike will you pay the extra for me ?

not many clubs have a ground 'handed to them on a plate'
everyone from west ham to hayling utd would like a property dev to make with the wonga.
but before you get arsey, just a thought, none of my business like.... safe some money from ludicrous transfer fees and compensation claims....

then buy some park benches, tramps, dog poo. hey presto! a proper park end 

[josefc]

So who paid for the development of west westleiegh park when H&W joined togeather ?

[mark]

nobody, it was done 3 or 4 years later , from what I remember the vast majority of it was paid for by football foundation grants, plus a couple of director/patron donations.
