Not open for further replies.
Hi everyone! First of all, i'm very excited about the upcoming matches against the Spurs! For us this will be a great adventure! The game at Wembley will be our 100th European game,so that's an iconic place for us to celebrate that! As far as i read on this forum, none of these Ghent supporters mention that there is actually a Spurs fanclub in the neighborhood of Ghent. So in fact there are many Ghent fans which have sympathy for the Spurs !

Oi mate wanna fight?
Just joking btw. We Ghentians are very proud of our beautiful city, it would be a smack in the face if you'd prefer to visit Bruges in stead.
Also because FC Bruges are kind of our rivals.

We aren't the biggest club, but we have passion and don't take ourselves too serious.
I think it will be a nice game to watch.
We are very excited to play against you.
You have some awesome players and are generally a liked team amongst our supporters.
Lets have a drink and some banter together before or after the games.

Brilliant pricing by the club.. European football prices for the masses.

Clubs like West Ham for example might argue that we're doing this purely to avoid a brick load of seats being empty. After all, we rip the tinkle out of them relentlessly for their "kids for a quid" scheme whereas they would simply argue the club are allowing the opportunity for more people to be able to afford to go to games.

If we started in the Europa from beginning (i.e. were not in CL) that comment might have some truth.

- Reality is we sold out Wembley to larger numbers than any other PL club ever for 3 CL games, without resorting to super cheap pricing
- Club has been smart and realized that there will be a little less demand naturally due to disappointment of no continued CL participation, plus we have the capacity of Wembley. Hence price cheap, get families and kids in, make it easy/cheap for the tons of Spurs fans who due to cost/availability struggle to see regular games.

We might have fans that bitch, or whatever other complaint you can level at most clubs fans, but we pay for the right to see Spurs, every season.

Maybe not super-cheap but the 3-game package was not expensive, relatively speaking. So it's not as though we had over 80k people paying full ticket price.

True, but it sold .. I expect the club figured they would get 50-65K at full prices (for at least first two games), or they could package and get all 3 at 85K

The problem with most other clubs that do the cheap packaging is they still don't sell out ... or have tickets on day, etc.

When other clubs do it, it is wrong and pathetic. When we do it we are being good natured towards the fans.

Their kids for a squid scheme is for league games against premier league opposition

It's also to get people to go to their brick home of a ground

Ours is now because we know that with Wembley being a logictic pain for people, plus we're playing a lesser side it incentivise fans to go

It's not dissimilar but the reason are different
 
Ours is also a 'kid for a quid' scheme but Levy tax is added.

Then there is the booking fee

Plus, the postal delivery charge

Or the cost of sending email administration cost, if you are printing your ticket at home.

All per ticket, of course, even if they arrive in the same envelope.
 
More importantly, how are we going to manage the singing and acoustics?
Are the WHL singers going to be given first refusal to the seats opp the royal box?

We can't have the singers spread all over the stadium or worse in the attic.
This may remove one of the losing mentality excuses.
