The 'I'm not going to Barnsley' thread

[donnybez]

Make that 2 over here

[silent majority]

That's 80.

[silent majority]

That's 65

At £25 a ticket that's about £1625

pffffft! thats not even a weeks wages for Illunga!

Thanks for your contribution, very helpful.

[The Loan Arranger]

3 of us as well.

[RoversAlias]

2 more here that go every year without fail but are not going due to the price this year.

This will be the first time we have played Barnsley in a competitive fixture in my entire lifetime that I will not have gone to the game.

[Superspy]

Not sure how you're counting SM but I'm up to about 88 now

[DRFC-PERKINS]

Me and another 3 would have been going but havn't even discussed it, because of the price.

[donnyallday]

Well.... im going because im bleeding stinking rich!!!

[Jim Dobbin]

Will they be bothered if only 1,800 turned up last year at £23 a go? Since Wembley they've only given us half the away end and that hasn't been sold out.

I'm in though.

[neil grainger]

Would usually go with my brother & father-in-law but none of us going this time, not at those prices

[moses]

Count another one here.

[bobbymax]

Two more.

[dumbroofer]

more than likely five or six

[BarnbyDunnyRover]

Me my brother-in-law & my 11 year old son wont be going at these prices.

[shaun from thorne]

2 more here thats £60 i can spend in the pub instead

[islerover]

My lad &me not going

[robchester]

3 of us not going

[djoftherovers1]

4 of us s.t holders in 27my house not going. clubs need to realise we just can't afford it.

[AbsolutDRFC]

Me & the wife are not bothering either. That's another £60 the Dingles won't get.

It's more the principle with me, rather than the cost.

[MrFrost]

Wonder how many will go to West Ham at similar prices or would go to Barnsley if we were top of the league.

Had a quick look at our away attendances and a lot of League Two teams put ours to shame.

I'll be there to support my team.

If you'd spent the start of the season complaining about £27 home prices you'd look a bit daft now.

Luckily you didn't.

I'm not saying I agree with the price.

I just know that people would soon cough up money of we were playing well.
Our away support in numbers is shocking, probably one of the lowest in the country. Less than 100 will travel tomorrow yet Rotherham can muster up nearly 500 to travel to Bristol for a night game.

Prove it.

[The Dav]

There's 3 of us also ! generally love the trip to Dingle land, however at that price they can stick it .

[idler]

If you had read the thread you would have seen that someone yesterday
bought 2 tickets that were over the hundred mark.
As far as poor support goes rather than count the numbers work out the
average number travelling compared to the home support, this woukld give
 a fairer comparison.
Maybe a lot don't want to buy a ticket in case they get sat next to you.

So we're not even amongst the worst in the Championship, let alone the country?

Thankfully Frosty has just passed me and our away support a handwritten apology, which I thank him for.
