You can watch Wednesday for £20 quid, in fact you can probably get a lot better standard of football for not much more money

Be fair, Wednesday isn't £10 better football.

oi!
hahaha I should have seen that one coming to be honest
For 20 quid, maybe a bit more you can easily catch a Championship game or maybe a **** Premier league team, why would you wanna pay a tenner to watch such a poor level of football
Where the hell would you be paying £20 for a Premiership game? City cost me £25 when they were in the Championship, and I'd assume they're in the thirties for tickets now.
Also, you just sound like you're knocking him for the sake of it now.
EDIT: That would be Hull City, obviously. God bless the vernacular.

I said you could probably for a bit more watch a Premier League game I did say a **** premier League team 
Nah, pleased Hyde stayed open, it's also sad to see a club go under.
"You reap what you sow" Hyde got out of jail

Yes Tummy, you're right, this is a downside but then clubs at our level see gate money as probably the number one income stream, they don't have huge sponsorship deals or TV money to offset the costs. Thats the reason why, I think it's Blackburn are able to offer ridiculously cheap season tickets.You can watch Wednesday for £20 quid, in fact you can probably get a lot better standard of football for not much more money
Out of interest, how much would you say was reasonable to charge to watch Blue Square North football?

You can watch Premier League football for £5 more, you are being ripped off.

Depends how much they want to pay me
* I can't remember the amount it cost to watch Denaby United. I don't think it was very much at all.

I'm always happy.
Say hello to my mate Tim if you're going to Spytty Park

It costs £20 for a kids season ticket at Sunderland and in the past they've given away thousands of tickets for nowt.
This is all down to having the best chairman in football of course, nowt to do with the fact that no one wants to go to the stadium of s****.
"Also, you just sound like you're knocking him for the sake of it now."
Bit ironic saying that as well isn't it? Aren't you only having a go at Tummy because you don't like him starting football threads too early?
No. 
I asked him an honest question. I didn't believe there was anywhere you could pay £20 and watch a Premiership football game. I'm not sure I'd count kids tickets or one-offs as a fair argument either, since that's not the regular price an adult like me or you would pay.
What's my argument over the other threads got to do with anything? I'm not petty enough to bear a grudge with Tummy over something like that. I registered my dislike of him doing it, he pretty much told me to do one, no-one else agreed with me, I let it go. Maybe I'll make a sarcastic comment about it now and then and he'll rolleyes me, but otherwise, life goes on.

Thought the Premiership wasn't all it was cracked up to be though cheets?

Well I have read this thread from start to finish and it still baffles me the small minded mentality of the OP. Why should it be upto Utd & City to help pull Hyde out of a hole. No matter how many hand outs are given , if the club is badly run and living beyond it's means then this will happen again.
Lets turn the tables on the real football fan that is the OP. Where was Hyde United for my local town team a few years back when they went bust. Irlam Town was one of the biggest names in North West amateur football. I didn't see any Hyde United fans having bucket collections before Irlam went **** up. But they came back better and stronger for it and not Irlam FC is living within it's means and doing very well for itself.
Or lets ask the OP where Hyde Untied were this summer for the under 8's team I run ??? You know times are hard and parents don't have money to spend yet we still have to get kids kits, safe football nets, medical kits, corner flags and pay for safe training. Our position relative to your's is probably the same as Hyde's to Utd or City. Yet we don't rely on you for hand out's, charity or good will to survive. I was pondering our finances this very morning whilst I was mowing the field at 6.30 in the ******* rain.
It would be great to rely on someone to give us a big hand out so we could afford to buy a club house with some running water. It would be great to have a 3G pitch so all our kids could train in safety without playing on some muddy field full of dog crap. But alas that's our position and we have to do what we can to survive and be self sufficient. Why ??? Because we can't rely on the FA and we certainly can't rely on good will. So why should Hyde rely on goodwill to survive.
So you can stick your pithy, self indulgent, sanctamonious clap trap where the sun doesn't shine. When Hyde are giving to lower leagues, amateur football and youth football on a regular basis then come back and we can chat about how morally wrong it is for the well run clubs above them to sit in their position of financial stability

Loki, for what it's worth I do believe that you should rely on the FA. In my opinion they have a duty to look out for football across the country.
Also, I don't support Hyde, I'm not from that part of the world and I only took serious notice to their plight because the team that I support were promoted to their league this season and I'd only been there a few weeks earlier.
It sounds as though your heart is in the right place and that you and me both have a labour of love for ours clubs, whatever level they may be at and if you have any ire to aim at anyone then don't point it in my direction, aim it at those people who spend their lives pontificating about Man Utd, Chelsea or Liverpool on their laptop's whilst firmly wedged in their ass cleft on their sofa.
I'd love to stay and argue the toss, but Sundays are busy days for me, I need to prepare a few photos from yesterdays game for the local paper and update my website, things I do for free just to give my club a bit more exposure.
Although it'll be for nothing cos just about now all the big football fans are grabbing their Liverpool and Chelsea replica shirts and settling down in front of the TV of heading off to the pub.
