Saw a family member yesterday who recently did ‘The Cells’ as a means to getting a match ticket. It achieved that, but he said it was very poor value for money

It frustrates me that the club was developing and growing quite fast before all this nonsense started.

I still think people are more likely to go the extra mile and pay for something that is premium if it is a genuinely new experience in a purpose built facility.

They have got this arseways.

Spurs and Liverpool and no doubt Everton can all cash in that way.

Simply isn't worth the mark up. I don't want to get to the ground 2 or 3 hours early because I rarely could. I don't want to stay for 1.5 hours after either with or without my 5 year old. 

If they did something like 2-3 drinks + snacks in spacious lounge area for an extra £25 I may do it once or twice a season at most.

I'm sure if we sign a Korean or Japanese or Chinese player we'd rake the tourists in to take advantage of the experience.

The next few games in the league and fa cup are going to seriously test Heck's pricing strategy . Attendance figures will be brushed under the carpet as usual .

GA+ offerings, as opposed to pure corporate (who will spend the money much more freely), have to be really compelling for people to shell out for them. Yeah, they're expensive, but if people feeling they're really 'special' they'll consider them for special occasions etc etc.

All of which is fine, but in all the coverage I have seen of the options, in terms of what you actually get for the cash, the pricing looks way over the top.

I saw the VoT youtube of one of the cheaper offerings and thought, yeah, looks nice, but for several hundred quid for some really average looking food, two drinks and a gift of a mug in a box, it just looked more than a bit shit.

it doesn't look 'special' to start with, which is just the first problem.

Making Brighton category A is just an absolute insult. Just think of all those fans, many of them families, who can’t go and watch their team simply because of the Club’s greed. Shameful.

The attendance figures that are given out are very dubious. I know season ticket holders are counted, whether they attend or not but, the figures still feel pretty inflated given the numbers of empty seats.

He's on one of the podcasts sites from time to time . Talks a lot of sense in my humble opinion.

I'm sure he can spin a good yarn.
