welshgaz Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Now cat A. Makes sense if they are bringing up to 4k. Nice little pay day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryatt's Bald Head Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 They don't get more than 4,000 for their homes games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Still if they bring 1000 due to chance of play off's it will ensure BP isn't empty. Cat A, B or C makes no difference to me as a ST holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 They don't get more than 4,000 for their homes games They do to be fair. If circumstances dictate they are more than capable of bringing an absolute army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Would be chuffed for Carlisle if they go up. Lovely club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 can see them bringing a big army , they took 1000 to mk dons on a tuesday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 4,000 if they are in contention for the playoffs and home fans booted out of the Rochdale Road End again in what will probably be a dead rubber ....oh and it will cost you more. Marketing excellence once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I hope Carlisle are making a formal complaint, their fans were given a price and it's changed. Not on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafckev Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I agree with Pukka - it's a dirty move that makes us look cheap once again. If the club had made it a Cat A from the start because it was the last game then people wouldn't be complaining but to upgrade this match at a late stage especially when we aren't playing for anything is wrong. There's a good chance also that Carlisle will be out of the chase by the last game and they'll bring about 500 in the whole of the RRE and the crowd will be sub 3000 - Good times are back at BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 F#€k That.... Im organising a protest at the poor treatment of carlisle fans and our very own pay on the dayers... We will be setting off from the civic centre at 1:30pm, walking backwards to BP in our underpants... Who's with me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Probably trying price the Carlisle troublemakers out of the trip. They love an end of season fight at BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I am outraged that the club are trying to maximise income. How dare they do this. The next thing is that they'll be trying to spend the money on players. Appaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next thing is that they'll be trying to spend the money on players. Appaling." There are ways of maximising income. Giving carlisle fans a price and then saying "oh well you are bringing more people so it's gone up" isn't "maximising income" it's ripping them off. Lets hope we are doing well next year and someone does the same to us and bumps the price up. There will be a load of people very pissed off on here. I'll use the: "They are only maximising income" line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 " There will be a load of people very pissed off on here" There always are. Temperature/price/availabilty of pies, kit design, dickov, website, lenghth of grass on the pitch, stewards doing/not doing their job, shop opening hours, golden tickets, spelling/poor spelling, etc etc. If, any season, I found out that the ticket price at a ground where we could clinch a play-off spot had gone up I wouldn't be ecstatic but would it "piss me off" ? No. I'd be getting a ticket as soon as I could, chuffed at being in such a position in the league, and guees what? If it was at a club that was not rich, I'd probably have a smile and say "you robbing b......s, but good luck to you". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If you honestly would then fair enough, you have your reasons. I wouldn't - I'd be pissed off and I'm not a hypocrite so will say, I think what we are doing is out of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I can see other clubs doing exactly the same thing, but if we were ever in the same situation then any complaints wouldn't have a leg to stand on without a change in the rules- which is not going to happen. I just wish I had bought my seat before the price hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKI1234 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) The OS says the increase is due to Policing cost and other matchday costs! Yes the policing costs will be higher but the fact that Carlisle will potentially be bringing 3000 fans more than they normally do would cover that 3000 extra £20 = 60K (If they had kept it at CAT B ) If the extra costs would have been close to £60k i would be amazed Edited April 19, 2012 by NIKI1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Pete I was going to start a thread about that - I think it's appalling that the club have let the grass grow to such a length. I know I won't be alone in this. Until the grass is cut to a satisfactory level I wont be buying another strike it lucky ticket - that'll show 'em. I blame Taggart, the club's ruined.

stargazer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 In the very unikely event it was us targeting the play offs & we were off to Carlisle in numbers on the last day....then we heard they raised the prices 2 weeks before the game , which of course doesn't affect their core season ticket holders we would go ballistic .

NIKI1234 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 doubt there will be many kids doing their annual end of season pitch invasion if there are 3000 celebrating carlisle fans heading the opposite direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
