Now whilst I disagree with NGR's figures, for me £12 to stand £20 to sit would be better. The principle is at least arguable. Low prices don't work according to Tesco and Saintsbury's. Aldi and Lidl might disagree.

Try reading through this thread. NGR and Highandwide are two of the most mild mannered of people and yet it seems that for daring to advance views that a certain clique on here don't like they get castigated. The clique should be ashamed.
I made this list especially for you Stan I hope you appreciate it.

Thanks Newport. It is though not enough to recognize your failings, you really need to start addressing them. :grin:

I was expecting that reply (Number 13, and Number 14 springs to mind).

Where is the total receipts figure published? Does it include season tickets? How do we count season tickets in the attendance figures?
A couple of years ago I divided the published gate receipts by 23.

Years ago I recall gate receipts were routinely published per game. For what it's worth the point I am making is that there is an optimum price to charge. What also needs to be remembered is ancillary revenue, which of course is greater with bigger crowds. It is not that NGR is necessarily correct but rather that he might be.
I don't recall us ever publishing specific gate receipts so would like to know where I can find them. If you could post up an internet link that would be most helpful.

I've downloaded the accounts for the last 7 years.
I can find no mention of gate receipts as a separate figure in any of them although the way the pdfs have been produced means the text cannot be searched so if anybody has better luck I'd be interested to see what they say.
Where the phrase gate receipts is used in the past few years, one point of interest is that the total figure for turnover they are "hidden" within is net of VAT so any calculations would need to take this into account.
