Leicester City fans will boycott Barnsley game

Supporters' chief Cliff Ginnetta has joined the opposition to Barnsley's decision to hike their ticket prices for Leicester City's Championship visit to south Yorkshire on September 10.

Match-day admission has gone up from £23 to £30 for the clash at Oakwell, and Ginnetta said he knows fans who are planning a boycott, which was revealed in Gary Silke's Mercury column yesterday.

"This is a bit of a worrying trend and I don't think it is Barnsley's best interests either," said Ginnetta, the chairman of the official supporters group.

"Surely, they would prefer us to bring a lot of fans who will also spend money on the day.

"I don't think fans have any real objection to paying high prices for the derby games against Derby and Nottingham Forest, but £30 for Barnsley is a bit excessive. Perhaps it's because we always seem to win there!"

Ginnetta said it is also a disappointing move as his members are finding it tougher to commit to home and away fixtures because of cash restraints.

"It's tough for a lot of them and they have to pick and choose their games," he said.

"Something like this will put a lot of them off. Putting up the ticket by £7 is a lot and I don't agree with it."

But they forget to mention its also £30 for Barnsley fans too. And before you all start i think it is shit to be charging £30 for any of the fans. If i was buying my ticket for this home match i would also boycott!
A lot more away fans and home fans will be boycotting Oakwell this season too because most of our home matches are £30!!
Talk about rip off Britain!!

Didn't Palace do the same at Donny last year? Like the Home fans got in free but Palace still had to pay?

It is simple maths providing the team is doing well, otherwise you're fooked with the wages players get these days.

You're allowed so many "home promotions"( think its about 4) a season and that was one of them. We were on the receiving end at Leicester away when we paid about £26 and home fans got in for £10.

Shame Wednesday didn't think to claim a "home promotion" when they were caught out charging Donny fans more and had to give refunds lol!

TBH I've found Watford have always been the fairest, they've done £10 tickets twice now when we've played them and passed it on to away fans as well, was gutted we didn't reciprocate but I suppose £15 wasn't a really bad exchange

For 5 seasons we where the cheapest in the league at £20, clearly that never worked so they have hiked the price up in line with the rest of the league, lets be honest there only moaning because there shite at the moment if lester had won there first 5 games like they expected they would have sold all 5'800 no problem, with not a peep out of them, in all fairness to the club i think this was an attempt to sell more season tickets, that's gone drastically wrong, if you bought a season ticket it worked out at £13.70 a game throughout the season, so they stuck the match day price up to try and force peoples hand into paying up front to get it cheaper. but what any Barnsley fan will tell you and what the club should have realised is that we have 7'000 die hard's, that will go to every home game and 7'000 hangers on that will only go if we'er winning and theirs not a good champions league game on the same evening. Our fans are moaning like fuck at the moment because the have to pay £30 and are claiming that they are staying away due to the price hike, but the cold hard truth of the matter is that they are staying away because they had no intentions of going if we did not start with a bang, if we start playing well and winning they be cuing up to hand over 30 notes, at oakwell this season they have introduced a club 1912 membership card where for a 10er for the season you get a 5er knocked off all match day ticket prices therefore making the match day 45p more then last season but people are refusing to make a member and refering to the match day price as £30 a ticket, just because they like moaning and have no intentions of going to the games in the first place. they where at it last season with the away ticket prices 7'000 moaning about the Ipswich ticket prices, but if we had been given free admission we would have not have gave away as many tickets as what was moaning about the price, because we where expected to lose the game like normal.

Haha Wink

It's easy to get around it at most grounds. Just go in the home end, then atell a steward halfway through the first half your in the wrong end. He will escort you pitch side around to the away end Wink
Happened at Exeter last season .

Well as it turned out it was the Barnsley fans that voted on their feet, a match like that we would usually have at Least 10,000 home fans but there was just over 8,000!! In my calculation thats 2,000 down!

As for Leicester they brought 2,100! Thats about the worst boycott ever!
