Re: 15 pound for friendly? : Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:52 am
Imo, far too expensive for a friendly against an SL reserve team. I can't make it anyway, and may not have bothered anyway given the decision (again) by Huddersfield not to send a decent squad. With the unlimited interchanges using a massive match-day squad, I think teams are missing an opportunity to maybe get a few more folk interested in coming along during the regular season? Charging less would generate less income on the day, but may just encourage one or two to attend (particularly if played as a more "competitive" game), who then may just become more regular attendees.I understand that friendlies are used by coaches to see how the full squad is looking, and to practice some moves under match conditions, but this has to be balanced with putting on a good "experience" for the fans.
Just my opinion.
