League 2 Ticket Prices - What is the real story?

[Glostergull]

[quote="Countyareup"]Hi from sunny South Wales. You may find this interesting. Before we added the 'outside' seats, behind the goal at Rodney Parade, the only away supporter provision was in the a Bisley Stand. Conference rules meant, the Club could not charge more than the home terrace ticket price, so for a time, away supporters sat in the same stand as home supporters & and paid a couple of quid less! No longer the case, as the outside seats are the same price as the home terrace.

Our away game at Cheltenham the other week was a 'premium' fixture & we were asked to pay £23 to go in the away end. The home fans weren't too happy about the price hike either. When Rovers went there, 3 days later, the prices were lower. We still took nearly a 1000 there though. I hope they bring as many as that to Rodney Parade, the difference being that over two thirds of the soon to be 1400 away capacity can be bought for £15 per adult (in advance)..!

What are your thoughts on the matchday experience at Rodney Parade (not the result)? Chesterfield fans think we stiffed them, on Sunday.

Hi there.
I thought it was a positive experience when i went to Rodney parade last year when Yate Town played you in the FA Cup. We stiffed you that night, but apparently your manager thought it galvanized the team to win promotion so alls well that ends well.
I like Rodney Parade. It was a homely ground.
It has a very nice and tidy wooden main stand and I thought the fencing at the front of the seats really makes it for me. The New Bisley stand was very nice. We were put in there and I was quite impressed. Although I thought the food was over priced. I was told that the concession was run by the Rugby club and as they are a premier team? The prices reflect that.
But Newport are not the Rugby club. anyway the ground is easy to reach. The price to get in wasn't too bad. The atmosphere was good and after my experiences of many years ago with United and Rovers v your fans I was pleasantly surprised to find your fans were very much better behaved than then. almost friendly.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
