City Take A Stance

Following on from a weekend where Steve Bruce, the Birmingham City manager, made a plea for football clubs to reassess their pricing structures following an attendance of just over 16,000; it's good to read that our Club are setting prices for the Cup Replay at just £15 for adults and £5 for kids.

Our Club deserve praise for this initiative and if I remember rightly prices were at a similar level for the Scunthorpe and Wigan home cup games last season. What people must realise is that in effect the club is subsidising our tickets as, if I’m correct, they will have to pay Sheff Weds more than half the actual gate receipts as the away club is entitled to half the gate money at the normal ticket prices!

Keep up the good work City!
