Firstly, Bananarama include a pair of Bristols, not sure if they are blue or red though?
Secondly, the prices. Disgraceful, this isn't the FA Cup final, its the conference. Being in Oz I go to Aussie Rules these days. I get a season ticket for four of us (two adults) two kids for 400 quid, football in the Uk isn't the peoples game anymore. I sympathise with grimsby fans, its hardly the centre of high paid employment and they have to get to London on top, for a family on a modest wage that's going to be nigh on impossible, well done the FA, buncn of useless, greedy cnuts.

Pity, as it sums up exactly what fans have been saying. #RIPOFFCONFERENCEI'm not very 'twitter wise' , I even tried a #fleecethefans thing but as I have about 3 followers it didn't make much difference. I wish this could be bought to the attention of more people though, if nothing else but to embarrass whoever set the ticket prices a little. i've been banging on about it on twitter, to little avail. In fact most responses have been fans who have their ticket telling me either [1] This match is priceless; price is not an issue to me and it shouldn't be for anyone else either, or [2] should have gambled on a voucher or the conference football twitter girl getting defensive. No wonder nothing gets done in this world. Divide and rule seems to work a treat. The Germans must laugh their arses off at us mugs. #I'mallrightjack,ftherestofu

I've been charged 30 euros for 2 tickets in the bottom tier of the state de France to watch England play France in August. Perspective on the rip off we are experiencing. Also the postage of tickets from France was cheaper than the postage from see tickets.

To chant that all together as two fanbases would really embarrass the conference, and BT, if they games a drag.

Ok, on 41 minutes lets give it to them big time (unless we've just scored of course)

This should be a case for the Football Supporters Federation, they are campaigning against ticket prices particularly away prices.
It should also be an issue for BRSC, but they do not get involved in issues such as this. BRFC should speak out, but do not hold your breath, they are constantly going on about the value of fans but will do little. What we need is an Independent Supporters Association....

It will be easily visable on the big screens/Scoreboards ah, yes, I forgot proper stadiums have scoreboards. from the blackthorn I can no longer quite make out the scoreboard on the exec boxes, and the one on the Dribuild has been broken most of the season! LOL

Don't worry I'll remember When it comes to things like this and the way fans are mistreated I tend to get a little bit militant Don't get me wrong £41 to a single bloke like me isn't that much of a hardship to find but I haven't forgotten how it is for others who may not be in the same fortunate financial position I am in. The way I see it is that ordinary fans are being ripped off by the organisation that is supposed to be there for them and I'm b"ggered if I'm going to keep quiet about it so if the 'singing section' don't bl**dy well start it then I f...ing well will. It's beyond me why the supporters club aren't 'supporting' this, maybe they are but it's awfully quiet from them, perhaps they're at the ground getting all the merchandise ready for Sunday

My main objection is the lack of concessions and the neutral area having best seats.
From what little I know charges by ticket not transaction is done by other ticket agencies. This needs to be addressed every where not just this game.

It doesn't stop there the catering inside Wembley is a rip off. From their website: The offers range from a hot dog for £5.40 to fish and chips for £8.50. Drinks prices range from soft drinks at £3.00 to a pint of Carlsberg at £4.95 or Budweiser at £5.20 (at selected events). Crisps and confectionary products are also available with prices starting from £1.30. The hamburger is not a straight burger in a bun either, the roll is poncy and has seeds on it etc etc I won't be spending any further money on Wembley than that I've forked out for the ticket (with the possible exception of a programme). Either taking a packed lunch or have a pub lunch before. Take my own drinks up for before and after the game, and a pasty for the way home. I do hope to see the bars and refreshment counters at the ground completely empty of paying customers.

Um but we're not in the Premiership so I doubt the Football Supporters Federation will have any interest in it whatsoever
