For once he's right and it deserves its own thread. We should absolutely be protesting against it and we need PNE to realise that we're fed up of being ripped off by other clubs. There's no issue with PNE ticketing policy, but the club should be doing a lot more to stand up for the fans who go away. Just blithely accepting Leeds/Sheff Weds prices instead of negotiating reciprocal pricing or similar is not acceptable. And it's only because a shit load of fans kicked up a stink that PNE have "sorted" the Bolton issue out. I say sorted, because £30 is still ridiculous.
funny, but Westley was fired due to being half human half oddball. Banners won't work. Boycotting will, but as long as we have the die-hards who'll pay over the odds we've no chance. IT needs a TOTAL boycott of away clubs charging over the odds.
Totally agree Johhny....... The premiership have found a solution ( Maximum ticket prices of £20 for away fans ) so why cant the EFL......
Why do we allow Leeds and Sheff Weds to charge us £40 ish and then let their fans come here for £24 ??
Its not right..........
A banner in itself does nothing, but doing nothing would definitely achieve nothing. Fans need to protest (many clubs have) to put this on the agenda. Safe Standing has been an issue for ages and many protests in support were held, finally it is being trialled.
crisp selection isn't the best either.[/QUOTE]

Why don't PNE just charge away supporters the same price their clubs charge PNE supporters at their places? Fair's fair.
That would be the ultimate sanction, but instead, a fairer way would be for other clubs to charge PNE supporters the same as we charge them.
agreed........

There's clear guidelines about having to charge away fans the same as you charge home supporters for the same facilities.
However I have said for at least the last 2 years when the ticket price debate comes up that I would increase the price of match tickets in the TE so that we can charge the away fans more but plug and advertise ST's for the Town End and make them at a price that almost makes it a no brainer. Use the 12th man etc. and really try and increase the atmosphere and numbers in there.
Don't see what a protest at Deepdale would achieve, our matchday prices are reasonable.
Also, no one would pay any attention if there was a boycott at an away game, it would just be put down to shit support.
It would need to be a massive thing, involving a load of fans from different clubs to get noticed by the FA and even then I doubt they would care.

I agree but the issue is every summer we have a cross section of PNE supporters who moan and groan even though the club maintain very competitive match day pricing.
I have read on here clubs like Fulham being applauded (our away price was £25) but they too operate categorised prices. Other clubs get charged £30+. On the whole our away fans are very rarely facing category A pricing (other than this Bolton game).
The problem at deepdale is the stadium layout, so we can't realistically operate tiered prices. And we are stuck with putting away fans in the kop because of segregation issues. I am sure the club would love to charge away fans more.
Let's call the protest not a penny more (above £24)

But that would require their agreement ( which won't happen )......... If something is to be done it'll only happen unilaterally. And it appears that the rules won't let us, therefore Tinos idea ( #31 ) seems to be the best approach.

Its an awful idea.
At the end of the day, like us, away supporters are just footy fans. Why on earth should they punished for what the club does?

I think you've got it wrong there... The idea would be to rip off the away support who would in turn get pissed off and put pressure on their own clubs to reduce prices... Might not work but I think that's the theory behind it to be fair...

Not for me. ripping fans off is totally wrong and, to be frank, if PNE started to do that Id be likely to walk away from the game altogether.
Where I sit, if i werent an ST holder, it would cost 30 quid a game. Its way too much for a game of footy already. Its all getting, in fact it already has, got out of hand. Somewhere, somehow its got to stop and ripping another section of supporters off isnt the way to do it, IMHO.
If you're going to produce a bed sheet protest, then I suggest that you PM BSK4ever for information upon how to prepare, conduct and finally execute a flawless protest.

Of course it is..But hopefully you'd only need to do it the once............ Daft argument anyway to be honest because it won't work..... There are only two avenues that will work in my view..1: The league sets a maximum ( reasonable ) entry fee...... or 2 : People vote with their feet. They actually hold the power but many choose not to use it..
