Daylight robbery
« on: October 03, 2024, 06:13:13 PM »
Our concession match day seated price of £19 is higher than Barnet and York: currently the top two in the National League. Stephen Cleeve: a modern day Dick Turpin !

York is a fantastic place to visit.  Though not sure what the new ground is like.  Barnet…. Hmmmm not sure what their average gate is but hasn’t been great the last few years.

As for our pricing structure…. It’s not customer friendly, that’s for sure.  However it is what it is.  Gates are increasing so have to think he’s got the pricing right
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

York is a lovely place......but still wouldn't want to travel there every other Saturday for a football fix.

It would be interesting to see where Lynn would be on the Turnstile League if it was done on Turnstile Income rather than attendance.

Former Bayern President Uli Hoeneß:

"We could charge more than €120 per season ticket. If we charge €350 per season ticket we would get €2m extra, but what does that mean for us?

The difference for a fan between €120 and €350 is enormous and we do not believe that fans are like cows, which are milked.

Football has to be for everyone. That is the biggest difference between us and England."

Spot on!

How refreshing but i doubt Mr Cleeve would agree?

Mr Cleeve owns a football club in England not Germany.....


I agree with  Hoeness ...it is different in Germany and it's not England

If the FA took the same stance as Hoeness then we might see a different price structure throughout the English game.

Do you agree with all of the Hoeness statement or just selected parts of it?

Question is . Is this high prices a  Kings Lynn FC  issue or a Kings Lynn in general issue.

My two largest interest's in life are football and live music, now whilst I can appreciate that Kings Lynn Town FC admission charges are generally higher than most other teams at similar levels, I would suggest that the charges to watch live music at the Corn Exchange are far higher to watch lesser acts than can be viewed at for example the Apex theater in Bury st Eds or Norwich Waterfront where currently popular headline acts can be seen at a far lesser cost than endless tribute and past sell by day acts at Kings Lynn Corn Exchange.

Therefore maybe high prices are a Kings Lynn issue and not solely a KLTFC issue.

In that case, it will be interesting to see what the prices will be when they put live music on at The Wallks!

Nah.not a good example.Corn exchanges prices may or may not be too high but Cleeve controls the price at walks so the high prices are 100% down to him.If you are ok with the high prices it's down to him and if you disagree with them it's down to him.Not even down to Joe as these were all set long before he came in
Plants have feelings too.

What are the prices like for the Speedway at Lynn compared to other tracks ?   Buster certainly wasn’t shy with his pricing structure when he held the reins at The Walks.

Is it still going? I see adverts for Bangers around town, promoting their  kids go free offer, but it's been a long time since I've seen anything advertising Speedway.

With the appointment of Thomas Tuchel perhaps the FA are sympathetic to and will try to further the cause of the 'German model'?!

  :dontknow: It would seem that prices for admission as are cheaper in Germany, however do the clubs pay lower wages are they well sponsored compare to the uk how many full time professional leagues are there. etc.
As for KL is the chairman’s dream for league football a pipe dream. Apart from the mysterious Joe and 1or 2 other sponsors the club don’t seem ambitious to increase takings.Yet the wage bill must be astronomical
I can remember KLFC in the late 50’s running a lottery with local stores selling tickets. Speaking to someone who went to Worksop their ground set up for supporters was on a different scale to ours re the shop etc.
At last after seeing Robbie’s email it seems that maybe things are changing for the better
