£18 and that's including the games when they'll be at RR. £18 from that slab of broken concrete! It's lucky Pigman isn't a Poppies fan, he'd be having a mental breakdown right now. :lol:

That'll help entice the floating fans across the county, I think the people that were predicting attendances of 400-600 may be right after all. I think IL is trying to drive them into the ground, moving them 9 miles up the road, pushing up the entry prices even more than our's were and appointing Maison!

I see they're doing the old membership thing to discount the terrace down to £15 to avoid seats and standing being the same price @ £18. Its a lot of money, Ladick has done himself proud with this one

Sorry, but £15 feckin quid to watch this level of football is OTT - anyway they can make it bloody £1.50 for all I care, still ain't no god damn way on this earth I would ever set foot in Nene Park to watch Ketterin' fuckin Cuckoo's FC playing there.

It's Bull Mutherfudging Shite. They will be gone in less than 12months at that price, gates will bottom at 500-600 top.

Good. All parties involved in this shitty little episode in the past 6-8 months deserve whatever fate of negativity comes their way.

I have sympathy only for the creditors, excluding Tommy "Two Face" Cousins, and the fans of R&DFC.

As for the Beasants - well if they ever stop running and hiding, they gonna meet ma friend.....PAIN. (in the form of a particularly blunt, red hot poker - perhaps a blunt ladle would suffice, nicely warmed on the fires of a dying club, prior to the scoop method of insertion)


Long Live AFC R&D

The King is dead, Long Live the King.

Ermmmm.

You charged £17 last season according to your website?

Although elsewhere on your site it says £15?

K*ttering charging £18 this coming season, a £1 increase is generally pretty standard anyway.

Yes, and that £17 was universally criticised, was blamed for our falling attendances, and was due to be reduced to £15 this coming season.

£18 is steep but I'd rather be paying that to watch my club in the BSP whilst dancing on your grave rather than trying to set up a Phoenix club that will never take off (You could not support a BSP club never mind a UCL club) that will be playing in front of one man and his dog.

See you soon on the DeBanke Pigman :lol:

Football is over priced full stop.

I don't think in the current climate £18 is too bad, clubs have to survive somehow. You don't get tv sponsorship money down at the lower leagues and non league like you do in the championship and premier league.

Sad fact is with football thesedays if you want your club to succeed and stay around you have to bite the bullet and pay the prices, look at most clubs, all prices are pretty similar at this level and that is because clubs have to try and keep their heads above water.

Just checked a few conference club sites...

Cambridge main stand is £17.

Mansfield main stand is £17/£18.

Darlington £18.

Luton £18.

Forest Green £15

Fleetwood Town £13.50

Maybe that is why Rushden and Diamonds went bust because fans weren't willing to pay the money to watch their club? Sad fact is it costs lots to keep running a football club and fans have to pick up some of this with ticket prices.

Enjoy your last season in existence, you'll be in exactly the same position as us next season. Although I suspect our fans will have a lot more grace than scum like you.

Taking away the snidey arguing you make a good point.

How do K*ttering hope to survive at NP when you guys couldn't? Attendances will at best be the same i'd have thought. All very odd.

I think you are in the minority with that view and as far as the Ploppies are concerned the proof of the pudding will be in the eating particularly as they will now be playing in a very expensive facility to run and maintain coupled with the fact that they will have ongoing costs next season for the upkeep in respect of the Rockinghorse.
